RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment, effective July 1, 2015, with Richmond Elementary School, Inc. including modified indemnification language, to increase the payment limit by $14,016 to a new limit of $210,816 to provide State Preschool services with no change to term July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State funds
California Department of Education

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from California Department of Education to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. The Board approved the contract on July 28, 2015 (C.51) to provide childcare services for 48 children enrolled in Richmond College Prep preschool programs. This board order seeks approval to amend the contract to pass through the increased daily rate provided by the State Department of Education to the County via the State Preschool contracts. The daily rate has been increased from $20.50 to $21.96 per Child Day of Enrollment for State Preschool (part-day); from $30.88 to $32.96 for State Preschool (full-day); and from $30.88 to $32.75 for State General Childcare and Development. The number of slots per program remain unchanged.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & 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.
