RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to enter into contracts, in the amount of $50,000 each with Reach Fellowship International, John F. Kennedy University School of Law, Rubicon Programs, Bay Area Community Resources and RYSE Center, for an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000, as part of the Community Recidivism Reduction Grant program to provide community recidivism and crime reduction services for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$250,000 in FY 2015/16 (100% State); $50,000 per contract.

BACKGROUND:

In August 2014, the CAO’s office was notified by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) that the Budget Act of 2014 had allocated $8 million to the BSCC for the Community Recidivism Reduction Grant, as described in Penal Code section 1233.10. Counties are eligible to receive funds if the Board of Supervisors, in collaboration with the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), agrees to develop a competitive grant program intended to fund community recidivism and crime reduction services.On September 16, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved item C. 51, confirming to the BSCC the County’s interest in receiving the funding, of which $250,000 was allocated to Contra Costa County.

The County Administrator's Office, in collaboration with the County Reentry Coordinator, developed an RFP to solicit interest in a contract award for the provision of recidivism reduction services. 14 proposals in total were received; 7 proposing services for juveniles and 7 proposing services for adults. Review Panels convened April 14, 15, and 16, 2015 to review and score all proposals and to conduct interviews. For the Juvenile-related proposals, four of the seven proposers were invited to an interview. For the Adult-related proposals, three of the four West proposers were invited to an interview. Each proposer for the Central/East and East region were interviewed. Scores for all of the proposals are included on Attachment B.

At their May 11, 2015, the Public Protection Committee received the staff report on the Requests for Proposals (RFP), review process and award recommendations. The Committee accepted the recommendations and unanimously voted to forward the recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.

Today's action accepts the recommendations and acknowledges contract execution by the County Administrator's Office (upon contract form approval by County Counsel) for the following contractors, in the amount of $50,000 each, for the period July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016:

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board of Supervisors does not acknowledge the awards and execution of contracts.
