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, in an amount not to exceed $908,659, to provide State Preschool, Pre-kindergarten Literacy and Head Start and Early Head Start Program services, for the term July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$121,200 in Federal funds / CFDA #93.600

Administration for Children & Families

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

$787,459 in State funds
California Department of Education

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start services to program eligible County residents. Contra Costa also receives funds from California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations. Approval of this contract will allow the provision of vital preschool and childcare services to program eligible children in East Contra Costa County.

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.
