RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Amendment Extension #28-934-2 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a corporation, to amend Grant Agreement #28-934, to extend the termination date from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 with no change in the amount payable to the County of $590,170 to continue COVID-19 related activities for the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action. This is a no-cost extension.

BACKGROUND:

This agreement allows the Health Services Department’s COVID-19 Response Team to conduct COVID-19 related activities such as contact tracing, surveillance, laboratory testing, enable tighter control in high-risk settings and high-risk populations, and coordinate with connected jurisdictions and healthcare systems, and improve understanding of jurisdictional communities. Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), was designated by the California Department of Public Health to administer this funding and to provide consulting and technical assistance that will be needed to perform the required activities.

On September 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-934 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health) payable to the County in an amount not to exceed of $590,170 for COVID-19 related activities for the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act through December 31, 2022. The County agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the grantor for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this contract.

Approval of Grant Amendment Extension #28-934-2 will allow the contractor to continue paying the County for the continuation of COVID-19 related activities through March 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, the County will not be able to receive funds for services provided by the County after December 31, 2022.
