RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Director, to purchase 1,640 ($2.00 each) County Connection Single Ride Tickets totaling $3,280; 346 ($3.75 each) Tri Delta Transit Day Passes totaling $1,297.50; 19 ($47.00 each) AC Transit Customer Service Passes totaling $893; and 120 ($25.00 each plus processing fee) Chevron Gas Cards totaling $3,139.45 for consumers participating in vocational rehabilitation services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This purchase is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Vocational Services (CCVS) is a program within Contra Costa County Adult Mental Health programs, where primary funding derives from a cooperative contract with the California Department of Rehabilitation, the Greater East Bay District. CCVS will be able to better serve the target population by providing them with gas cards or bus passes corresponding to the area they are served within (West County, Central County, or East County). Having reliable means of transportation will enable CCVS’s most underserved consumers with multiple employment barriers to participate in the consumer referrals made by the vocational rehabilitation counselors to assist with obtaining meaningful work and/or competitive employment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, consumers participating in vocational rehabilitation services will not receive support in obtaining transportation to meaningful work and /or competitive employment opportunities.
