RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Grant Agreement #28-998 (State #21-10550) with the State of California Health and Human Services Agency, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), to pay the county an amount not to exceed $1,216,765, for the Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS) Workforce Development Project, for the period from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of the Grant Award will result in payment to the county up to $1,216,765 in funding for the four-year grant from the CDPH. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The goal of the DIS Workforce Development Project is to develop, expand, train and substance disease intervention specialist workforce. Funding is intended to hire personnel to address projected sexually transmitted disease (STD), HIV, COVID-19 and other infectious disease prevention responses needs. The County’s Public Health Division HIV/AIDS and STD Program staff will be trained to conduct rapid HIV, Hepatitis C and syphilis and COVID-19 testing in the field.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This agreement is being processed late due to CDPH’s delay in sending the Grant Agreement to Contra Costa County.

Approval of this Grant Agreement #28-998 will allow Contra Costa County’s Health Services Department to implement the DIS Workforce Development Project, through December 31, 2025. This agreement includes the County’s agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor for claims arising out of County’s performance under this contract.
