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 $108,263 to a new payment limit of $508,530 due to an increase in the daily childcare rate by the California Department of Social Services, with no change to the term July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract in the amount of $508,530 is 100% funded by State funding from the California Department of Social Services, all of which is already budgeted in FY2021-22. No County match is required. (100% State) CFDA #93.600.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Social Services to provide state general childcare and development services to program eligible County residents. The County, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. On October 20, 2020, the Board of Supervisors authorized a contract with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg in an amount not to exceed $400,267 to provide State General Childcare Development services for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 (C. 69).

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) received notifications of amendments from the California Department of Education and California Department of Social Services on October 5, 2021 and January 12, 2022 for 2021-2022 due to the increase in the Child Day of Enrollment rate (CDE). The General Child Care and Development Program (CCTR) rate increase was approved by the Board of Supervisors on 6/7/22 (C. 37). The California State Preschool Program (CSPP) rate increase was approved by the Board of Supervisors on 2/1/22 (C.43).

There was a change in reimbursement rate for Full Day General Child Care and Development (CCTR): $51.55 for the time period: 7/1/21--12/31/21 and $74.97 for the time period: 1/1/22--6/30/22. The Community Services Bureau (CSB) administers a 15% administration cost per CDE rate based on First Baptist Church of Pittsburg program model of full-time full-year. Therefore, the rates that were used to calculate the payment limit of $508,529.92 for the contract amendment were increased to reflect a rate of $43.82 for the period of 7/1/21--12/31/21 and change reimbursement rate to $63.72 for the period of 1/1/22--6/30/22.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three (3) 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.
