RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California, to increase the payment limit by $136,081.26 to a new limit of $1,713,190.26 for the provision of childcare services at Fairgrounds and Lone Tree Children’s Centers with no change to term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 18% with Federal funds from the Administration for Children and Families, totaling $308,213. The State, California Department of Education / Child Development funds 82% of the contract, totaling $1,404,977.26. No County match is required.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2007 the Board approved to award the First Baptist Church of Pittsburg with operating childcare services at the County-owned facility, Fairgrounds Children’s Center, as a result of a Request for Proposal (RFP). The first nine months of the contract was approved by the Board on the above date, and the Board has approved the contract to be renewed annually ever since.

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

The board approved the 2018-19 contract on July 10, 2018 (c.80). 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.

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.
