RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-708 with Lifelong Medical Care, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,559,142 to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccination support in underserved areas of the County, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $1,559,142 and will be funded 100% by applicable federal and state emergency funding.  
BACKGROUND:

This contractor will expand testing and vaccinations by adding two to three drive/walk-through sites at LifeLong William Jenkins Health Center, LifeLong Brookside San Pablo Health Center, and eventually, LifeLong Pinole Health Center, for patients and community members who are uninsured, and a portable testing program that will identify several consistent weekly locations to effectively reach populations typically lacking access to testing and vaccination services. In addition to site expansion, the contractor will add Point of Care (POC) test capability at all current and proposed testing and vaccination locations. Services at all testing and vaccination sites will include COVID-19 POC and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or nasal swab, testing and communication of results, education, outreach, and linkage to community resources and insurance coverage for high risk, under-represented communities including the Medi-Cal patients, uninsured individuals and the general public. To expedite access to expanded testing services with timely results (24-48 hours), this contractor will continue its partnership with UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) for lab services (test kits, results, and platform).   
  
Contractor’s COVID-19 testing and vaccination expansion will provide up to 50,392 tests, and 34,395 vaccination administrations over the course of the contract term.  
  
Under Contract #23-708, this contractor will provide COVID-19 testing and vaccination support through December 31, 2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, most vulnerable Contra Costa County residents will continue to be at high risk for COVID-19.
