RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, to increase the payment limit by $430,001 to a new payment limit of $2,705,736.36 to implement daily childcare reimbursement rate increases from the California Department of Social Services and the California Department of Education.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$2,705,736.36: This contract is funded by federal grant funds (23%) and by state funds (77%) . No County match.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start/Early Head Start and Early Head Start-Childcare Partnership Program services to program eligible County residents. The County contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide program services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notice of the daily childcare reimbursement rate increases for 2021-2022 on October 5, 2021 and January 12, 2022 from the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS). The General Child Care and Development (CCTR) rate increase was approved by the Board on 6/7/22 (C. 37). The California State Preschool Program (CSPP) rate increase was approved by the Board on 2/1/22 (C. 43).

In order to reimburse the contractor for the increased rates, the contract must be amended to increase the CCTR rate to $51.55 for the period 7/1/21 to 12/31/21 and to $74.97 for the period 1/1/22 to 6/30/22. The contract must be amended to increase the CSSP rate for Full Day preschool to $52.69 for the period 7/1/21 to 12/31/21 and $74.97 for the period 1/1/22 to 6/30/22. The contract must be amended to change the reimbursement rate for the Part Day preschool program to $32.63 for the period of 7/1/21 to 12/31/21 and to $46.03 for the period 1/1/22 to 6/30/22.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to reimburse the Contractor at the increased daily rates.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and 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.
