RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award Amendment #28-930-1 with the State of California Health and Human Services Agency, California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to increase the amount payable to the County by $145,833, from $125,000 to a new amount not to exceed $270,833, and to extend the termination date from March 15, 2021 to July 31, 2022, to provide COVID-19 and respiratory viral panel testing for the Community Sentinel Surveillance Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Grant Award Amendment will result in an additional amount of $145,833 payable to the county from the CDPH. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

On August 4, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-930 with CDPH to pay County in an amount not to exceed $125,000 for COVID-19 and respiratory viral panel testing for the Community Sentinel Surveillance Project for the period March 5, 2020 through March 15, 2021.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Grant Award Amendment #28-930-1 will allow Contra Costa County to receive additional funds to participate in the State Community Sentinel Surveillance Project which will allow Contra Costa County Health Services Department patients who are experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms to be tested for both COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, through July 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Grant Award Amendment is not accepted, the County will not receive additional funds and patients who are experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms will not be tested for both COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses.
