RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Senior Legal Services, effective March 1, 2019, to increase the payment limit by $90,688 to a new contract payment limit not to exceed $200,193 for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase department expenditures by $90,688 to be funded 100% by Federal Older Americans Act, Title III-B and Title VII-B revenue. [CFDA #93.044, 93.041]

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Legal Services provides county-wide legal services (e.g. phone call, letters and document review, negotiations), representation at administrative proceedings and representation in court hearings to eligible clients 60 years of age and older, with emphasis on those individuals of greatest social need, greatest economic need, minority persons, and particularly minority persons with the greatest economic needs. This amendment is the result of receiving additional funding from the California Department on Aging's redistribution of unused funds from all California counties that related to providing legal services.

Contra Costa Senior Legal Services was selected through the competitive bid process, Request For Proposals (RFP) 1154.

Original contract was approved by the Board of Supervisors May 22, 2018 (C.83), for $109,505 from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

County-wide legal services and representation to clients 60 years of age or older will not be available at no cost.
