RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Extension Agreement #23-706-4 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc., a corporation, to extend the term end date from June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 with no change in the original payment limit of $660,930 to continue to provide COVID-19 outreach services, mobile testing and vaccine administration for residents of Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action since there is no change in the original amount of $660,930 or funding source - 100% American Rescue Plan Act.

BACKGROUND:

On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors requested that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency in Contra Costa County (Gov. Code Section 8625) due to COVID-19. The Health Department must use all available preventative measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 which includes outreach, testing and vaccine administration. The Department must enter into contracts for these services and competitive bidding requirements were suspended to the extent necessary to address the effects of COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This extension will continue the relationship between the County and the contractor to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities by providing mobile testing and vaccine administration availability to residents in Contra Costa County. The contractor has been providing these services since January 1, 2021.

On July 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-706-3 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc., in an amount of $660,930 to provide COVID-19 outreach, mobile testing and vaccine administration, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Approval of Contract Extension Agreement #23-706-4 will allow the contractor to continue to provide COVID-19 outreach services, testing, and vaccine administration through December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, the County will not have access to this contractor’s COVID-19 testing and vaccine administration services, which aim to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities.
