RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #22-940-24 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $161,101 to provide coordination and support services to the County’s Senior Nutrition Program for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. This contract includes a three-month automatic extension through September 30, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $40,275.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $161,101 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded by 60% Federal Title III C (1) of the Older Americans Act of 1965 and 40% Federal Title III C (2) of the Older Americans Act of 1965, through the Employment and Human Services Department. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing management and staffing for County’s Senior Nutrition Program in East Contra Costa County, providing assistance in fundraising efforts in the private sector, and purchasing meals for homebound elders through the countywide Meals on Wheels program. Contractor has been providing services to the County under this contract since July 2006.

On July 13 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #22-940-23 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), in an amount not to exceed $340,907 to provide coordination and support services to the County’s Senior Nutrition Program for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a three-month automatic extension through September 30, 2022 in an amount not to exceed $85,227.

Approval of Novation Contract #22-940-24 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and will allow this contractor to continue to provide coordination and support services to the County’s Senior Nutrition Program through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s senior citizens who rely on the Senior Nutrition Program for meals will not receive those meals.
