RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Richmond Elementary School, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $8,544 to a new payment limit of $272,640, for State Preschool services with no change to term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Entirely funded with State, California Department of Education funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from California Department of Education to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The board approved the 2019-20 contract on September 10, 2019 (c.122) for the provision of childcare services for 48 children enrolled in Richmond College Prep preschool programs. This board order is to approve a contract amendment to pass through the higher childcare daily reimbursement rate from the State to County childcare partners. The State routinely increases the daily reimbursement rate during the program year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to pass through the increased daily reimbursement rate to the Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
