RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-706 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $780,280, to provide COVID-19 outreach, mobile testing and vaccine administration for residents of Contra Costa County, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in expenditures of up to $780,280 and will be funded by Federal and State COVID-19 emergency funds.

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This contract seeks to establish a relationship between Contra Costa County Health Services Department and La Clinica De La Raza that will enable COVID-19 mobile testing and vaccine administration (budget maximum of $662,121) as well as outreach program support (budget maximum of $118,159) to provide services to underserved and/or uninsured Contra Costa County community members.

Under new Contract #23-706, the contractor will provide COVID-19 outreach services, testing and vaccine administration at its Mobile Testing Tents located in Concord, Oakley and Pittsburg; and follow-up services for patients who test positive for COVID-19, for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not have access to this contractor’s COVID-19 outreach, testing, and vaccine administration services which would reduce the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
