RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Extension Agreement #23-723-1 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a corporation, to extend the termination date from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 with no change in the original payment limit of $2,947,041, to continue to provide temporary public health microbiologist, licensed vocational nurses and registered nurses for coverage at COVID-19 testing, vaccination and person under investigation sites.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no change to the original payment limit of $2,947,041, which is funded 100% by the Federal American Rescue Act.

BACKGROUND:

On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors requested that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency in Contra Costa County (Gov. Code Section 8625) due to COVID-19. The Health Department must use all available preventative measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 which includes outreach, testing and vaccine administration. The Department must enter into contracts for these services and competitive bidding requirements are suspended to the extent necessary to address the effects of COVID-19.

On August 3, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-723 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), in an amount not to exceed $2,947,041 to provide temporary public health microbiologist, licensed vocational nurses and registered nurses for coverage at COVID-19 testing, vaccination and person under investigation sites to provide temporary relief for County employees during peak loads, temporary absences, vacations or emergency situations, as needed through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract Extension Agreement #23-723-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, patients at COVID-19 testing, vaccination and person under investigation sites would not have adequate care.
