RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-849-9 (State #18-10866-A01) with the California Department of Public Health, to increase the amount payable to the County by $590,789 from $2,532,688 to a new total payment limit of $3,123,477, with no change in the original term of April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an increase in the amount of $590,789 from the California Department of Public Health. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The goals of the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS are: 1) to minimize new HIV infections; and 2) to maximize the number of people with HIV infection who access appropriate care, treatment, support and prevention services. The services required by the HIV Prevention Program, scope of work, in this agreement are consistent with, and are designed to support these goals. The County has been contracting with the California Department of Public Health for these services since July 1, 2013.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #28-849-7, for the County to provide residents of Contra Costa County access to medical and support care services, including outreach and treatment under the HIV Care Program and Minority AIDS Initiative project, for the period from April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2024, which included agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #28-849-9 will allow the County to receive additional funds to continue providing medical and support care services through March 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV, provide the prevention services that will reduce hospitalization, and provide support to HIV positive individuals in their homes, or to support compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease.
