The contracts have an aggregate cost of $214,000 for FY 15/16 and are funded 100% with AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenues from the amount allocated to the implementation of the East/Central Reentry Network ($800,000).
FY 2014-15
On March 25, 2014, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Plans developed for the establishment and operation of a West County Reentry Resource Center and an East & Central County Networked System of Services. (See http://www.cccounty.us/2366/Services-Programs for copies the Plans and RFQs.) To begin implementation of these Plans, three Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) were issued by the County Administrator's Office on April 1, 2014 to identify contract providers for the services contemplated in the Plans.
The County Administrator's Office convened three Evaluation Panels to review and rate the responses and to interview responders. The Evaluation Panel recommended contracts be awarded contracts for the following East/Central Reentry Network service providers:
Leadership/Entrepreneurialism Services:
JFK University, Institute of Entrepreneurialism for $66,000
Brighter Beginnings for $66,000
Specialized Employment Training/Placement:
Prepare My Sheep for $65,000.
Housing:
New Life Dream Center for $115,000
Employment/Education Liaisons:
Men and Women of Purpose for $50,000
Reach Fellowship International for $50,000
At its May 2, 2014 meeting, the CCP accepted the presentation of the results of the Evaluation Panels. At its May 6, 2014 meeting, the Public Protection Committee concurred with these recommendations. At its May 13, 2014 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved the contracts with the Network service providers, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
FY 2015-16
For fiscal year 2015/16, the CCP-Executive Committee approved 2015/16 AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget at the January 9, 2015 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval. On February 9, 2015, the Public Protection Committee accepted the CCP-Executive Committee's recommendations.
On March 6, 2015, the CCP approved recommendations by the East/Central County Network Manager to reallocate program allocations in the East Central Network System of Services budget. On March 9, 2015, the Public Protection Committee approved the reallocations and forwarded the approval of contracts to the Board of Supervisors.
Today's action approves the following contracts to provide services to the reentry population in East and Central County for the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Program, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
Leadership/Entrepreneurialism Services:
JFK University, Institute of Entrepreneurialism for $15,500
Brighter Beginnings for $66,000
Specialized Employment Training/Placement:
Prepare My Sheep for $32,500
Employment/Education Liaisons:
Men and Women of Purpose for $50,000
Reach Fellowship International for $50,000
Negative action would result in the expiration of the current contracts on June 30, 2015.
