RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Orantes, LLC dba Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare Center to increase the payment limit by $21,816 to a new payment limit of $118,928 effective October 1, 2019, and to add eight (8) additional Head Start Childcare Partnership Program Slots for children aged three to five years for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is 100% funded by federal grant funds from the Administration for Children and Families, Head Start Program.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County receives funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start and Early Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. The Employment and Human Services Department, in turn, contracts with a number of community-based organizations to provide a wider distribution of services. This contract ensures Orantes, LLC dba Tiny Toes Preschool and Childcare has funding to fulfill the obligations for the contract term by adding eight (8) additional Head Start Childcare Partnership Program slots.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to fund the eight (8) additional childcare slots for its community based agency partner, Orantes, LLC.
