RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, to increase the payment limit by $156,589.77 to a new payment limit of $1,553,669.77 for State Preschool, Pre-kindergarten Literacy, General Childcare and Development Programs, Head Start and Early Head Start services, with no change to term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is 14% funded by the Administration for Children & Families' Federal funds, totaling $216,600. The remaining 86% of the contract is funded by the California Department of Education's State funds, totaling $1,337,069.77. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

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

In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. This 2018-19 contract with First Baptist church of Pittsburg was approved by the Board on July 10, 2018 (c.79). This proposed amendment is to pass through the increased daily reimbursement rate from the State of California for the California Department of Education funded portions of the contract. The state routinely amends the daily childcare reimbursement rate during the program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to pass through the increased daily reimbursement rate to the Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

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