RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. Approve and Authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to execute contract amendments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,363,329.25, to facilitate the preparation and delivery of meals under the State of California Great Plates Delivered Program:


A. A contract amendment with GDCC LLC to increase the payment limit from $1,359,044.25 by $424,912.50 to a new payment limit not to exceed $1,783,956.75 to prepare, provide and deliver a maximum of 225 meals a day to 75 program eligible older adults and extend the term through June 5, 2021 on the condition of additional Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance (FEMA) funding being available for additional meal services under the Great Plates Delivered Program.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

B. A contract amendment with Shahram Taheri to increase the payment limit from $1,313,280 by $410,400 to a new payment limit not to exceed $1,723,680 to prepare, provide and deliver a maximum of 225 meals per day to 75 program eligible older adults and extend the term through June 5, 2021 on the condition of additional Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance funding being available for additional meal services under the Great Plates Delivered Program.

C. A contract amendment with Agave Grill Corporation to increase the payment limit from $1,141,800 by $445,500 to a new payment limit not to exceed $1,587,300 to prepare, provide and deliver a maximum of 225 meals a day to 75 program eligible older adults and extend the term through June 5, 2021 on the condition of additional Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance funding being available for additional meal services under the Great Plates Delivered Program.

D. A contract amendment with RLW Properties, LLC to increase the payment limit from $825,930 by $442,462.50 to a new payment limit not to exceed $1,268,392.50 to prepare, provide and deliver a maximum of 225 meals a day to 75 program eligible older adults and extend the term through June 5, 2021 on the condition of additional Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance funding being available for additional meal services under the Great Plates Delivered Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Expenditures will initially be funded with County General Funds and submitted to the FEMA program for up to 75% Federal reimbursement and to the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) for 18.75% State of California Disaster Assistance Act funding, and 6.25% will remain County funds. Any expenditures not fully reimbursed at 75% Federal FEMA funds will be County funds.

BACKGROUND:

The original four contracts with GDCC LLC, Sharam Taheri, Agave Corporation and RLW Properties, LLC, together with their respective amendments, provide for three nutritious restaurant meals a day for eligible older adults required to shelter in place or self-isolate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, who are not receiving nutrition assistance benefits from other federal or state programs, and who are unable to prepare meals on their behalf. In addition, the Great Plates Delivered Program (Program) provides economic stimulus to local restaurants that are struggling due to COVID-19 mitigation orders. The Program is currently extended until March 8, 2021, and may receive additional extensions and associated funding.

Ratification of the contract amendments between the County and GDCC LLC, Shahram Taheri, Agave Corporation and RLW Properties, LLC will ratify the execution of contract amendments that enables Contra Costa County to serve up to 300 vulnerable older adults. Consistent with Program specifications, contractors will be paid an amount not to exceed $66 per person per day during the terms of these contracts and, where authorized and approved, their amendments. The execution of further amendments of the four contracts with GDCC LLC, Shahram Taheri, Agave Corporation and RLW Properties, LLC under this Program will extend the services through June 5, 2021, but will occur only on the condition that FEMA funding becomes available.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The execution of the contract amendments will not be ratified.
