RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee to execute Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) #28-974 containing mutual indemnification language with the Contra Costa Community College District, to allow the Health Services Department use of the District’s Diablo Valley College Overflow Lot for drive-thru COVID-19 testing, COVID-19 immunizations and related services, for the period July 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement, there is no cost to the County associated with the signing of this MOA.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County is currently operating one County-run drive-through COVID-19 testing site in Central County in addition to walk-up sites throughout the County. Prior to August 31, 2021, this site was located at 2500 Bates Avenue in Concord. Since that site is no longer available, and in order to not disrupt the current testing volume, this location at Diablo Valley College was sought to accomodate residents in Central County. This MOA will allow the County to provide a combined 3240 COVID-19 tests and vaccines per week on average.

The County’s Health Officer has determined that accessible, timely testing and immunizations are critical to reduce transmission of the COVID-19 virus and to protect the community.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this MOA is not approved fewer COVID-19 tests and vaccinations will be administered which could increase the number of deaths in Contra Costa County.
