RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with We Care Services for Children, to increase the payment limit by $11,088 to a new amount not to exceed $232,445, to provide State Preschool services, with no change to term July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State funds from the California Department of Education
No County match

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool and Pre-kindergarten Family Literacy services to program eligible County residents. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. The Board approved the 2016-17 contract on August 2, 2016 (C.73). The State routinely amends contracts during the program year to provide cost of living increases. This amendment is to pass through the cost of living increase approved by the County from the State on September 13, 2016 (C. 76).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
