RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute an agreement, including modified indemnification language, with San Ramon Valley Unified School District, in an amount not to exceed $201,239, to provide State preschool services for the term August 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement is funded entirely with state funds from the California Department of Education. County match is not required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State preschool services to program eligible County residents. In order to provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the Department contracts with a number of community-based organizations to carry out the programs in accordance with the CDE funding requirements. Approval of this contract will allow the provision of State preschool services to 48 program-eligible children and families in the Central Contra Costa County area during the school year of August through June.

The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will serve fewer families with State preschool services.

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.
