RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Amendment Agreement 28-849-1 (#13-20048-A01) with the California Department of Public Health, effective April 1, 2015, to make technical adjustments to the budget, with no change in the amount payable to the County of $1,330,064 and no change in the original term from March 31, 2014 through March 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Amendment Agreement will make technical adjustments to the budget, but no change in the total amount of $1,330,064 from the California Department of Public Health. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The goals of the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS are: 1) to minimize new HIV infections; and 2) to maximize the number of people with HIV infection who access appropriate care, treatment, support and prevention services. The services required by the HIV Prevention Program, scope of work, in this Agreement are consistent with, and are designed to support these goals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 10, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #28-849 (as amended by Standard Agreement #28-849-2), for County to provide residents of Contra Costa County access to medical and support care services, including outreach and treatment under the HIV Care Program and Minority AIDS Initiative project, for the period from July 1, 2013 through March 31, 2016, which included agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #28-849-2 will make technical adjustments to the budget, allowing the County to continue to receive funds to provide medical and support care services through March 31, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV; to provide the prevention services that will reduce hospitalization; and to provide support to HIV positive individuals in their homes; or to support compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
