RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Little Angels Country School, Limited Liability Company (LLC), to increase the payment limit by $63,859 to a new payment limit of $278,563, due to increase in the daily childcare rate with no change to term July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.  
  

  

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract in the amount of $278,563 is entirely funded by State funds from the California Department of Education, all of which is already budgeted in FY 2021-22. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) 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.

  
On June 22, 2021 (C.72), the Board of Supervisors approved the agreement with Little Angels Country School, LCC to allow the provision of vital preschool and childcare services to thirty-six (36) program eligible children enrolled in the Contractor’s preschool programs for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.   
  
Subsequently, the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notification from CDE about increases to the Child Day of Enrollment rate for program year 2021-2022. The notices were received on October 5, 2021 and January 12, 2022, and the Board of Supervisors approved the revenue amendment from CDE on February 1, 2022 (C.43).  
  
This Board Order is to approve an amendment to the contract with Little Angels Country School, LLC in order to update and pass through the current increased daily reimbursement rate established by the California Department of Education for providing State Preschool services. The amendment will increase the daily rate from $28.40 to $30.18 for the period July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and then a second increase to $42.57 for the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022. The Community Services Bureau (CSB) administers a 7.5% administrative cost per child daily equivalent (cde) rate based on Little Angels program model of part time, part year. Therefore, the rates that were used to calculate the payment limit of $278,563 were increased to a rate of $30.18 for the period 7/1/21-12/31/21 and a rate of $42.57 for the period 1/1/22-6/30/22, which included the 7.5% administrative cost.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to pass through the change of 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.
