RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract including modified indemnification language with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California, in an amount not to exceed $1,429,431 to provide childcare services at Fairgrounds Children’s Center, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$341,813 (24%) Federal funds / CFDA # 93.600  
Administration for Children and Families  

  

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
$1,087,618 (76%) State funds  
California Department of Education / Child Development  

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2007 the Board approved the award of the operation of childcare services at the County-owned facility, Fairgrounds Children’s Center, as a result of a Request for Proposal (RFP). First Baptist Church of Pittsburg was the successful respondent to the RFP. The first nine (9) months of the contract was approved by the Board on the above date, and the contract has been renewed annually since. This board order renews the contract for the 2017-18 program year.  
  
Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. County also receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) Child Development program for State Preschool and General Childcare and Development program services. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.   
  
Approval of this board order allows the continued provision of the following services at Fairgrounds Children’s Center, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

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 & 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.
