RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-054-29 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, effective January 1, 2022, to amend Contract #74-054-27 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-054-28), to increase the payment limit by $5,000, from $253,848 to a new payment limit of $258,848, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual expenditures of up to $5,000 and will be funded 100% by Proposition 64 funds. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with Community Health for Asian Americans, since April 2000 to provide to provide youth, family and drug abusive prevention services in West Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In April 2021, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #74-054-27 with Community Health for Asian Americans, in an amount not to exceed $181,955, for the provision of youth, family and drug abuse prevention services in West Contra Costa County, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On April 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-054-28, to increase the contract payment limit by $71,893 to a new payment limit of $253,848, effective September 1, 2021, to provide additional drug abusive prevention services, with no change in the original term July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-054-29 will allow the contractor to provide additional drug abuse prevention services through June 30, 2022.

The delay of this amendment was due to the resurgence of COVID-19 which resulted in service interruptions, productivity declines and cash flow issues with the community based behavioral health service providers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, clients in West Contra Costa County will not have access to this contractor’s services.
