RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28-626-8 (09/10 DUIPP-2) with San Diego State University Research Foundation, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $66,000, for the California Kids Plate Streetwise II Program, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Grant Agreement will result in $66,000 for the grant period. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The West Contra Costa cities of Richmond and San Pablo have 29% of Contra Costa’s motor vehicle/pedestrian collisions, although they represent only 13% of the County’s population. The California Office of Traffic Safety ranked San Pablo 6th out the 96 cities in its size category and Richmond 13th out of 50 in its size category of pedestrians under the age of 15 killed and injured. The Contra Costa Health Services Injury Prevention will administer the “StreetWISE” II” project. This “StreetWISE” II project will build upon existing policy recommendations. The goal of this project is to continue to influence public policy to create safe community walking and bicycling environments for children 8-18 years of age in the Cities of Richmond and San Pablo.

San Diego State University Research Foundation has requested to be held harmless and indemnified as part of their standard for approval of the Agreement with the County. Except for funding this Project, San Diego State University will have no direct involvement in the implementation of this Project. Therefore, in the view of County Risk Management, this indemnification will create a minimal potential loss. The Health Services Department desires to expedite approval of the Agreement as written.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-626-8 will allow the County to continue the California Kids Plat Streetwise II Program through June 30, 2010, including agreeing to hold the Grantor harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement.
