RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #72-075-4 with J-Sei, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $30,713, including changes to the County Standard Indemnification clause, to provide home-delivered meals to elderly residents in West Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a three-month automatic extension through September 30, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $7,678.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Title III-C 2 of the Older Americans Act of funds. (No rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of a small ethnic Japanese community that exists along the West Contra Costa County and Alameda County border, by providing ethnically appropriate home-delivered meals on 250 serving days, for up to 15 nutritionally at-risk, homebound senior citizens, to ensure they receive at least one third of their daily nutritional requirements.

In June 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #72-075-3 with J-Sei, Inc. for the provision of home-delivered meals for the Senior Nutrition Program, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a three month automation extension period through September 30, 2019 for the provision of home-delivered meals for the Senior Nutrition Program.

Approval of this Novation Contract #72-075-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract allowing the Contractor to continue to provide home-delivered meals for the Senior Nutrition Program through June 30, 2020. This Contract includes modifications to County’s Standard Indemnification clauses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this contract is not approved, West County’s small ethnic Japanese community of homebound senior citizens will not receive meals which provide at least one third of their daily nutrition.
