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 $29,601 to a new payment limit of $257,895, for the provision of State Preschool services, with no change to the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by up to $29,601. The contract is 100% funded by State funds from the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Employment and Human Services Department contracts with a number of community based organizations. On July 18, 2017 (C.57), the Board approved this contract that provides State Preschool services for 55 children and families in the Central Contra Costa County area. This proposed amendment is to pass through the cost of living adjustment granted by the California Department of Education to the daily rate for program slots in the State Preschool program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to pass through the cost of living adjustment granted by the California Department of Education to it's community based organization partner.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (3) Families that are Economically Self-sufficient; and (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.
