RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with National Council on Crime and Delinquency, a Non-Profit Corporation, effective April 1, 2016, increasing the payment limit by $165,782 to a new payment limit not to exceed $222,751 for the continued services of the Phase II Lethality Assessment Program Implementation for Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention for the period December 5, 2014 through September 30, 2016. (91% Federal, 9% State)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$222,751: 91% Federal, Department of Justice Grant; 9% State, Assembly Bill 109. (CFDA #16.590, #16.320).

BACKGROUND:

The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI) applied for and received funds from the US Department of Justice, Office on Violence against Women (OVW), Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration ("Project") in 2013. The Project will be implemented in two phases - an assessment phase ("Phase I") and an implementation phase ("Phase II"). OVW completed Phase I in September 2014 and selected ZTDVI as one of four sites to participate in Phase II of the Project and implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a recognized promising practice. ZTDVI is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application.

Valuable services will not be provided.
