RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, California in an amount not to exceed $508,946 to provide Early Head Start Program Enhancement and State General Childcare Development services for the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The federally funded portion of the contract is $121,200 from Administration for Children and Families and is 24% of contract funding. The CFDA No. is 93.600. The state funded portion of the contract is $387,746 from California Department of Education and is 76% of contract funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Department, though the Community Services Bureau, manages a childcare operation that include Early Head Start and State General Childcare Development programs. In order to reach a wider community, the Bureau sub-contracts with community based agencies to provide services. This contract is to further the reach of the above mentioned programs by providing 20 program slots for State General Childcare and 20 program slots for Early Head Start Program enhancement.

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 and 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.
