RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute contracts, subject to approval to form by County Counsel, with reentry service providers in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,056,880 to provide employment, housing, mentoring, family reunification, and legal services for the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Program, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contracts have an aggregate cost of $5,056,880 and are funded 100% with AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenue.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 1, 2017 the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committee approved a FY 2018-19 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Recommended Budget included $5,056,880 for "Community Programs." Today's action by the Board of Supervisors authorizes $5,056,880 of that total for the renewal of "Community Programs" contracts awarded from the 2016 and 2017 Request for Proposals/Qualifications (RFP/Q) processes.

In 2016 and 2017, CAO staff conducted an RFP/Q process to select community based agencies to provide reentry services to AB 109 clients for employment training and placement services, housing, civil legal services, mentoring and family reunification services, and the management of the Central-East County Reentry Network and the Reentry Success Center. The RFP/Qs specified that contract terms were annual (on a fiscal year basis) with up to two one-year renewals possible with the successful performance of contract deliverables. On May 10, 2016 and Oct. 18, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the award of the Community Programs contracts.

On February 5, 2018 the Public Protection Committee approved the FY 2018-19 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget, which included funding for the following "Community Programs" contract allocations:

Employment Support and Placement Services - $2,081,270

Goodwill Industries: $936,570 for Central County and East County
Rubicon Programs, Inc.: $1,144,700 for West County and East County

Central-East County Reentry Network - $978,200

HealthRIGHT360 for coordination of Central- East Reentry Network and Services including:
- Network Management Services: $629,800
- Transitional Housing: $156,000
- Specialized Employment and Training: $67,600
- Gender Responsive Reentry Transition Planning: $62,400
- In-Custody Engagement Services: $62,400

Short and Long-Term Housing Access - $1,071,850

SHELTER, Inc.: $1,019,820 for countywide housing services
Reach Fellowship - Housing for Women and Children (in Richmond): $52,030

West County Reentry Success Center - $561,330

Rubicon Programs, Inc. for operational services, including:
- Success Center Management Service: $546,330
- Community Outreach (Reentry Voice): $15,000

Mentoring & Family Reunification Services - $208,130

Men and Women of Purpose - Mentoring : $114,470
Center for Human Development - Family Reunification Services: $93,660

Civil Legal Services - $156,100

Bay Area Legal Aid: $156,100

The CAO's Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) has been monitoring contractor performance for each of these contracts and recommends renewal of these existing contracts, per the RFP/Q specifications.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would result in these contracts not being executed and a disruption of services to the AB 109 population.
