RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Richmond Elementary School, Inc. including modified indemnification language, in an amount not to exceed $264,096 to provide State Preschool services for the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is entirely funding by State funds, from the California Department of Education.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from California Department of Education 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. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this contract will allow the provision of childcare services for 48 children enrolled in Richmond College Prep preschool programs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies.

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.
