RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Agreement #28-700-25 (State #17-10150) with the California Department of Public Health, in an amount payable to County not to exceed $7,029,165, for the County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness (EP) Program, including Pandemic Influenza, Hospital and Emergency Medical Services preparedness, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $7,029,165 of funding from the California Department of Public Health for the EP Program through June 30, 2022. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Public Health has agreed to fund multiple Public Health EP Program activities including, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control preparedness activities, the Cities Readiness Initiative activities, State General Fund Pandemic Influenza preparedness, and Hospital Emergency Preparedness Program activities, for the County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Response Program. Contra Costa Health Services will utilize these funds to respond to any disease outbreaks, including Pandemic Influenza in Contra Costa County.

On December 16, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-700-20 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #28-700-21 through #28-700-24) with the California Department of Public Health for funding of the County’s Public Health EP Program for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

Approval of this Agreement #28-700-25 will allow County to receive funding for the continuation of the Public Health Emergency Response Program, through June 30, 2022, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for claims arising out of County’s performance of this Contract, including claims of intellectual property infringement and related claims.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, County will not be able to continue to develop and test all hazardous health emergency preparedness activities and hospital preparedness in response to any disease outbreaks in Contra Costa County.
