RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California, to increase the payment limit by $26,311 to a new payment limit of not to exceed $1,627,707 for the provision of five additional childcare slots at Fairgrounds Children’s Center, with no change to the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will increase expenditures by an amount not to exceed $26,311 (resulting in a total contract payment limit of not to exceed $1,627,707). The contract is 21% funded by the Federal Administration for Children and Families and 79% by the California Department of Education.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

$341,813 / Federal funds / CFDA # 93.600 Federal Administration for Children and Families (21%)
$1,285,894 / State funds / California Department of Education (79%)

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved the award of the operation of childcare services at the County-owned facility, Fairgrounds Children’s Center, as a result of a Request for Proposal (RFP). First Baptist Church of Pittsburg was the successful respondent to the RFP. The first nine (9) months of the contract was approved by the Board on the above date, and the contract has been renewed annually since.

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The County also receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) Child Development program for State Preschool and General Childcare and Development program services. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

The Board approved the FY 2017/18 contract on July 18, 2017 (c.56). This proposed amendment is to pass through a cost of living adjustment to the program slots funded by the State. The Board approved an amendment to provide funding for the Quality Rating & Improvement Service (QRIS) plan for the State Preschool funded sites to help keep staff-to-child ratios low to maintain a quality program on December 5, 2017 (C.63). This amendment is to add 5 childcare slots to the State Preschool program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Contractor would not be able to add five childcare slots to its program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (3) Families that are Economically Self-sufficient; and (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.
