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 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. This Contract provides consultation and technical assistance regarding communication strategies for COVID-19 and other health related topics. The Contractor has been contracting with the Health Services Department since September 2013.  
  
On August 10, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-755-13 with Brown Miller Communications, Inc., in amount of $250,000, to provide consultation and technical assistance with strategic planning to implement the Affordable Care Act, for the period from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022.  
  
On March 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment #26-755-14 to increase the payment limit by $325,000 to a new payment limit $575,000 with no change in the original term of September 1, 2021 though August 31, 2022 assistance with additional communication support services with regard to COVID-19.
