RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-706-3 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $660,930, to provide COVID-19 outreach services, mobile testing and vaccine administration for residents of Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $660,930 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded 100% by American Rescue Plan Act Funds.

BACKGROUND:

On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors requested that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency in Contra Costa County (Gov. Code Section 8625) due to COVID-19. The Health Department must use all available preventative measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 which includes outreach, testing and vaccine administration. The Department must enter into contracts for these services and competitive bidding requirements are suspended to the extent necessary to address the effects of COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This contract establishes a relationship between county and contractor to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities by providing mobile testing and vaccine administration as it becomes available to residents in Contra Costa County. The contractor has been providing these services since January 1, 2021.

On February 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-706 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc., in an amount of $780,280 to provide COVID-19 outreach, mobile testing and vaccine administration, for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Extension Agreement #23-706-2 with La Clinica De La Raza, Inc. to extend the termination date from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 with no change in the original payment limit to continue to provide COVID-19 outreach, mobile testing and vaccine administration.

Approval of Contract #23-706-3 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide COVID-19 outreach services, testing and vaccine through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Contract is not approved, County will not have access to Contractor’s COVID-19 testing and vaccine administration services which would reduce the spread of COVID-19 in vulnerable communities.
