Subject:2009 - 2012 Weatherization Assistance Program revenue contract amendment #4
BACKGROUND:
On April 7, 2009 the Board approved submission of the County Local Plan for Department
of Energy American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 funds for energy
program and weatherization services. The board order accepted funding for the plan via the
California Department of Community Services and Development. An agreement
amendment was approved by the Board on January 19, 2010 wherein the term was
extended to March 31, 2012.
The Board of Supervisors approved a contract amendment on April 13, 2010 to incorporate
updated funding terms and conditions, payment and program provisions as outlined by the
State, pursuant to ARRA regulations. This fourth amendment seeks to incorporate updated
U.S. Department of Labor Weatherization Wage Determination as provided by the State of
California.
The Department of Energy requires the State of California provide wage rates specific to
weatherization of residential structures. The intent is to identify appropriate wages for
weatherization services as opposed to wages for the renovation, repair, or new construction
of residential structures. General weatherization work for the purposes of this wage
determination is defined as minor repairs, batt insulation, blown insulation, window and
door repair, weather stripping, solar film installation, air sealing, caulking, minor or
incidental structure repairs, duct sealing, air sealing, installation of light bulbs, and
installation of smoke detectors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, revenue would be returned to California Department of Community
Services and Development.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Employment & Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau energy
program supports one Contra Costa County community outcome - Outcome 4: "Families
that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing." This outcome is achieved by providing home energy
program assistance to help keep households warm in winter and to increase household
energy efficiency.
