RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, to extend the term from September 30, 2018 to a new term ending December 31, 2018, with no change in the payment limit of $154,909, to provide services for the Grant to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Project, for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract does not increase department expenditures above the current approved amount of $154,909, funded 100% by a Federal Department of Justice grant with no County match requirement. CFDA #16.590

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Alliance), formerly Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative, applied for and received funds from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office on Violence Against Women, Grant to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Project (Project). The primary purpose of the Project is to develop and strengthen effective responses to reducing violence against women. The grant was awarded October 1, 2015, for three years of funding.

The Alliance engaged the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application. The Project did not begin until January 1, 2016. As such, the Alliance requested, and was granted by the DOJ, a no-cost extension to the previous grant award (extending from September 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018). This contract is being extended by three months, for a period of January 1, 2018-December 31, 2018, since grant funds are now available through December.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The availability of services to assist in the prevention of violence against women in Contra Costa County will be hindered.
