RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Martinez Early Childhood Center to increase the payment limit by $27,270 to a new payment limit not to exceed $233,310 to provide Early Head Start and Head Start Program Enhancement services with no change to term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is fully funded by a Federal grant from the Administration for Children and Families, Head Start Program (CFDA 93.600). A County match is not required. The contract number is 38-483-20.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the ACF to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. On September 17, 2019 (c.38) the board approved contract to provide Early Head Start and Head Start program enhancement services to 56 children through this partnership. This amendment is to add 10 childcare slots to the program and to update reporting requirements for licensing incidents.

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 and 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.
