RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #22–806–32 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $795,096, to provide consulting and technical assistance on community health promotion for Public Health’s Health Emergency Unit and Health Services Emergency Medical Service Unit, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $795,096 and will be funded 100% by Center for Disease Control funding. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing organization services for the Public Health’s Health Emergency Unit and Health Services Emergency Medical Service Unit. Services provided by this contract also include leadership and public health advocacy training. This contractor has been providing consulting and technical assistance services to the County since April 2001.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22–806–30 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $515,829 for the provision of consulting and technical assistance on community health promotion for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

On September 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #22–806–31 to increase the payment limit by $4,404,935, from $515,829 to a new payment limit of $4,920,764, for additional assistance to the Health Services Department’s COVID-19 Response Team to conduct COVID-19 related activities including contact tracing, surveillance, communication in high risk setting, outreach to high risk populations, and improvement in coordination with other jurisdictions and health systems, with no change in the term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #22–806–32 will allow the contractor to continue to provide consulting and technical assistance services through June 30, 2022. Retroactive approval is requested due to negotiating services for COVID-19 activity response which resulted in agreement submission delays.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County residents who depend on services from Public Health Emergency Unit and Health Services Emergency Medical Service Unit may not receive the services they need.
