RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with CocoKids, Inc., effective May 1, 2018, to increase the payment limit by $40,000 to a new payment limit of $120,000 and to extend the term ending date from June 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018 to provide ongoing Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program Services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by $40,000 and is funded 30% by County and 70% by State Family Preservation revenues.

BACKGROUND:

This Contractor was selected through the competitive bid process, Request For Proposals (RFP) 1135 by Employment and Human Services, Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS). RFP 1135 requested community-based and/or faith-based organizations to provide Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) services in Contra Costa County. The purpose of PSSF services is to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families, improve the quality of care and services to children and their families, and to ensure permanency for children by reuniting them with their parents, by adoption, or by another permanent living arrangement.

This amendment and extension will ensure Contractor continues to provide the following services while a Request For Proposal can be processed by the County; support services to parents and families in the Family Together Program to improve parenting skills, provide case management, parent education, parent and child enrichment activities and information about and referrals to other relevant community resources and services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parents and families in the Family Together Program will not receive services to improve parenting skills, parent education, and parent and child enrichment activities and information.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all five community outcomes: 1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; 2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; 3) Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient; 4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and 5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families, by providing resources and referrals to support self-sufficiency.
