Information

Referral History:

As directed by the Public Protection Committee at their March 8, 2013 meeting, a Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the AB 109 Community Programs was issued on March 15, 2013 for the following: Planning for Reentry Resource Centers in the amount of $120,000 ($40k per region).

The proposal that was recommended for funding to the Board of Supervisors for the planning of an East and Central County network of services was provided by “Emerald HPC International, LLC (Emerald HPC).” A contract was awarded by the Board of Supervisors to Emerald HPC on May 21, 2013 in the amount of $80,000. The CAO’s office developed a contract with Emerald HPC, which was executed mid-June 2013. Emerald HPC conducted their extensive planning process on budget, on schedule and submitted the proposed plan to the County Administrator’s Office on January 27, 2014. The complete plan is available on the County’s website at:
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/index.aspx?nid=2366

The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) at its February 21, 2014 meeting recommended that the Public Protection Committee approve the Plan except with respect to its recommendation to “sole source” the contracts for service provision. Subsequent to its submittal to the CCP, Emerald HPC revised the Plan to include an “Affiliation Disclosure” statement and to amend the proposed Budget to remove the funding for “Mentor-Navigator Supervision, to accommodate a countywide proposal for Mentor/navigator supervision.
