RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with SHELTER, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $720,000 to provide housing services for the AB 109 Reentry Program for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has a fiscal impact of $720,000 for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. (100% State Public Safety Realignment)

BACKGROUND:

In February 2015, the Public Protection Committee reviewed and approved the FY 15-16 AB 109 budget recommendations from the Community Corrections Partnership for integration into the FY 15-16 County Recommended Budget, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors. The AB 109 budget for FY 15-16 included an allocation of $500,000 for countywide housing services to be provided by SHELTER, Inc.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In March 2015, the Network Manager for the Central-East Reentry Network recommended to the Public Protection Committee that the budget amount allocated to the implementation of the Central-East Reentry Network be modified for FY 2015-16 to provide for additional transitional housing services in the amount of $220,000, through the reduction of other Network service contracts. The Public Protection Committee accepted this recommendation at its March 9, 2015 meeting. Subsequent to that action, the CAO’s office prepared an RFP to solicit interest in the provision of the transitional housing services for FY 15-16.

RFP PROCESS:

The RFP was posted on BidSync, the website the County utilizes for contracting opportunities, and distributed directly via email to contacts developed by the County’s Reentry Coordinator and staff of the CAO’s office.A bidders’ conference was also hosted on May 8, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Pittsburg City Council Chambers; three agencies attended.

A Review Panel was assembled by the CAO’s office, comprised of the following members:

Facilitator, Donte Blue County Reentry Coordinator
Todd Billeci, Assistant Chief of Probation
Lara DeLaney, CAO, Sr. Deputy
Kathy Narasaki, Central-East Reentry Network Manager
Jenny Robbins, Housing and Services Administrator, Behavioral Health Division, Health Services
DeVonn Powers, Goodwill Director of Contract Services; CAB member; WCRRC Steering Committee

In compliance with the due date established in the RFP, proposals were received from the following In compliance with the due date established in the RFP, proposals were received from the following organizations:

1. SHELTER Inc.
2. Grace Bible Fellowship of Antioch—Grace House

Review Panel’s Recommendation:

Review Panels convened May 19 and 21, 2015 to review and score the proposals and to conduct an interview. Due to the fact that the proposal from Grace Bible did not include evidence that the proposer was in compliance with the City of Antioch Ordinance No. 2066-C-S, including providing proof of a valid use permit issued by the City of Antioch, the Review Panel chose not to interview the proposer.

The Review Panel recommendation for contract award to SHELTER Inc. was issued on May 22, 2015.

Community Corrections Partnership Recommendation:

On June 6, 2015, the Community Corrections Partnership accepted the recommendation of the Review Panel with regard to a contract award for the RFP issued for the Transitional Housing for the Central-East Reentry Network, and recommended contract authorization to the Board of Supervisors in the amount of $220,000, for the period July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would not be able to provide housing services for the AB 109 population.
