RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Kids' Clubs Inc., including a modified indemnification language, to decrease the payment limit by $253,369 to a new amount not to exceed $1,137,857 to provide State Preschool, Pre-kindergarten Family Literacy, and Head Start services with no change to term July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

88.6% State funds California Department of Education
11.4 % Federal Administration for Children and Families

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 County also receives funds from Administration for Children and Families for Head Start services. 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 2014-15 contract on June 24, 2014.

This board order seeks approval to amend the contract in two ways. The first action is to pass through the increased daily rate provided by the State Department of Education to the County via the State Preschool contracts. The daily rate has been increased from $19.53 to $20.50 per Child Day of Enrollment for State Preschool and from $29.41 to $30.88 for General Childcare and Development. The second action is to decrease the number of slots for the State Preschool Part-Day program effective December 1, 2014. The Contractor had its direct contract with the California Department of Education increased; due to limited capacity, the Contractor elected to reduce the number of slots allocated to County-funded childcare programs from 192 to 48 slots, effective December 1, 2014.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will be unable to meet childcare needs in this geographic area and fulfill State Preschool program goals.

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.
