RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Inc., effective February 2, 2020, to increase the payment limit by $10,730 to a new payment limit of $502,187 to provide long-term care ombudsman services with no change to the existing term ending June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase budget expenditures by $10,730 to a new total expenditure of $502,187 to be funded 20% Federal revenues (Older Americans Act, Title III-B and Title VII-A revenue (CFDA# 93.044, 93.041), and 80% State revenues (Licensing and Certification Program funds, Citation Penalties Account funds, and Skilled Nursing Facility Quality and Accountability Act funds). There is no required county match.

BACKGROUND:

Ombudsman Services of Contra Costa, Inc. provides long-term care ombudsman services for adults including mediation and conciliation services, creation of Family Councils for support of families of long-term care residents, document and report investigations of physical abuse of all dependent adult and elder residents of long-term care facilities, education and training on seniors' rights, benefits, and entitlements. This Amendment allocates a portion of the California Department on Aging’s annual redistribution of unused funds from all California counties in relation to long-term care ombudsman services. Funds will be used for needed program supplies and COVID-19 safety supplies for volunteers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contractor will be unable to purchase needed program supplies and COVID-19 safety supplies for the volunteers.
