Subject:Approval of Contract #28-528-42 with the County of Alameda
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has designated the County of Alameda
as “Grantee” for the purpose of administering the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Modernization Act of 2006, Part A, funds for coordination of essential services to Contra
Costa County residents with HIV Disease and their families.
On July 13, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #28-528-40 with the County
of Alameda, as the fiscal agent for Ryan White CARE Act, Title I and Minority AIDS
Initiative funds, for coordination of services to Contra Costa residents with HIV disease and
their families, for the period from March 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011. Approval of
Agreement #28–528–42 continues funding for these services through February 29, 2012,
including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of
the performance of this contract.
Vouchers are purchased from established vendors and distributed to eligible individuals
following established procedures. Purchase of the vouchers is approved by local and
regional planning bodies and is allowable under federal law. The program anticipates
purchasing 200 Safeway food vouchers at $10 each for a total of $2,000 plus transportation
vouchers from varying vendors ranging from $1.00 to $30.00 in a total not to exceed $6,000.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funds to provide coordination of
essential services to Contra Costa County residents with HIV Disease and their families.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
