RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #29-388-58 (#16-10766) with the California Department of Public Health, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $551,117 for the County Public Health HIV/AIDS Surveillance Project, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in a three year agreement in an amount not to exceed $551,117 of funding from the California Department of Public Health, for the amount of $183,704 for Fiscal Year 2016, $183,706 for FY 2017 and $183,707 for FY 2018. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-388-57 with the California Department of Public Health, for the County’s AIDS Programs, including testing services, surveillance, case management, prevention education, outreach, social marketing, and services to women, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016. Approval of this Standard Agreement #29-388-58 will establish and enhance active and passive HIV case surveillance for the County’s HIV/AIDS Surveillance Project through June 30, 2019. The Agreement includes County’s agreement to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV, provide case management services that will reduce hospitalization and support to HIV positive individuals to live at home or allow for compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease.
