Subject:Status Report on Contra Costa County's ARRA Federal Stimulus Funds
30, 2012 for public viewing. Recovery.gov is the U.S. government's official website where
information and data on Recovery Act spending is available for public access. The site also
provides for potential fraud, waste, and abuse reporting.
The 2011 4th quarter reporting period was from January 1 to January 14th, 2012. This
reporting period covers work completed through December 31, 2011. Contra Costa County
was in compliance with the 4th quarter reporting period. To date, Contra Costa County has
been awarded over $71.6 million in funds and has received $65,963,189.
Staff has prepared this status report on the ARRA funds that Contra Costa County has either
received through formula grants or through competitive grants. Staff of the CAO and the
Auditor-Controller are collaborating to ensure that all reporting requirements are met and all
relevant information is captured. The status report also identify the impact of all ARRA
funds in terms of job creation, economic impact, social impact, and cost avoidance, and we
have endeavored to capture that information from department staff managing the funds.
The spreadsheet identifying the County's participation in ARRA funding opportunities is
attached; it is being continuously updated as information from Departments is provided. It
is also provided on the County’s website, under the ARRA Stimulus Funding tab.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Noteworthy accomplishments of the County’s ARRA funds:
1. On December 12, 2009, Contra Costa Health Services was awarded $12 million to
relocate and rebuild the Richmond Health Center. Funds were awarded through a
competitive grant process for a one-time facility improvement opportunity to address
significant and pressing capital improvement needs in health centers, including
construction and renovation.
Status of the Clinic: HVAC roof curbs, skylights curbs and equipment pads are
completed. The interior wall framing and the mechanical, electrical & plumbing ceiling
rough-ins are ongoing on the first and second floors. Hanging of the gyp board on the
first floor and the exterior wall framing are also in progress. The installation of the rigid
foam insulation for exterior walls is expected to start this week. Finally, the roofing
insulation has been installed and roofing in progress.
Status of the Parking Structure: The concrete for the structure is completely poured. The
mechanical, electrical & plumbing rough-ins and setting of miscellaneous iron imbeds
are complete and the sack and patch of the structure walls is currently in progress.
Going Forward: On January 10, 2012 the Board of Supervisors approved the plans,
specifications, and design for the bid packages for site concrete/caulking, flooring,
landscaping and irrigation, miscellaneous specialties, and miscellaneous metal phase 2.
This work is expected to start by the end of January 2012.
Contra Costa Health Services has received its requested “Extension Without Funds” for
this project through December 31, 2012. The completion date of this project, however, is
currently projected to be October 2012.
2. Contra Costa Health Services also has received a Capital Improvement Project grant for
$683,020 for construction of a new modular unit for the Martinez family practice site.
The existing building is in need of replacement due to asbestos in the walls and a
non-operating HVAC system. The asbestos remediation costs exceed the value of the
building, making repair/renovation unfeasible. Since Fall 2008, this building has become
almost uninhabitable, impeding clinical services significantly with compacted services at
other service sites. The County has expended $203,460 through December 2011.
The Family Health Centerconstruction documents have been reviewed and approved by
the Department of Conservation and Development. The Board of Supervisors authorized
the General Services Department to solicit bids on January 10, 2012. Bid packages for
the first phase of construction are expected to be received by February 23, 2012.
Construction should begin the first week of April 2012.
3. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-R): The Board of Supervisors
approved allocating funds to fourteen projects to help finance infrastructure
improvements that provide basic services to lower income residents. As of December 31,
2011, thirteen projects have been successfully completed. A total of $812,711 has been
spent and 12.3 FTE construction jobs have been created. The remaining project is
currently out-to-bid and is expected to be completed by June 2012.
4. Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP): As of December 31,
2011, the County has expended $1,320,009 (93%) of its allocation and anticipates
expending all funds by spring 2012. HPRP partners have far exceeded the original
estimates for number of families served – to date a total of 548 Contra Costa County
families have been provided homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services. The
County will continue to work with local service providers to assist clients in need and will
make referrals to local partner agencies to help keep families from falling into
homelessness or moving homeless families into more permanent housing.
5. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG): The County was
awarded $3,574,300 in EECBG funds and has expended $2,186,830 through December
2011. Several notable highlights are the successful completion of 4 activities: LED Street
Light Replacement (Activity #2), County Employee Commute Program/Telecommuting
and Compressed Work Week Outreach (Activity #5), Employee Energy Conservation
Campaign (Activity #6), and the Property Assessed Clean Energy [PACE] Financing
Program (Activity #8). Work is still in-progress on the remainder of the funded activities.
6. The amount of ARRA funds utilized for the Vasco Road Safety Improvement Project
was $11,279,083. This was increased from the $10 million originally received. The
additional amount of ARRA funds came from savings from the Vasco Road Overlay
project (below) and from other cost savings realized from other jurisdictions in Contra
Costa County.
Project construction is complete. Minor punch list items have been completed or are in
the process of being completed. Final invoicing for the project is in progress. The project
completed the connection in the southbound truck climbing/passing lane, bridge
widening, retaining walls and the installation of a concrete median barrier.
7. The amount of ARRA funds received for the Vasco Road Overlay Projectwas
$2,762,000. However, given the low bids received and additional savings to this project
during construction, some of those savings were applied to the Vasco Road Safety
Improvement project as stated above. The remaining portion of ARRA funds applied to
the Vasco Road Overlay project was $1,945,770.
The project is complete and payments to contractor are complete. The project provided
rehabilitation of the road surface, extending the life and providing a smoother ride
surface for the motoring public.
8. Workforce Development Board:
Projects & Efforts Still Active in 2011 (and into 2012)
Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). The WDB and its primary youth
service providers, the Contra Costa County Office of Education and Henkels &
McCoy Training Services placed more than 1600 youth into summer jobs in 2009
and 2010 using ARRA funds. In the absence of ARRA funds in 2011, the WDB and
its youth contractors were able to secure $31,000 in funding (non-WIA) to help
support an effort that ultimately helped more than 100 young people obtain summer
jobs across Contra Costa County. More than 40 of these jobs resulted in permanent
employment for out-of-school youth who were directly hired by private businesses.
The WDB continues to make this program a priority for 2012 and will be leveraging
a White House initiative called Summer Jobs+, which calls for businesses,
nonprofits, and government to work together to provide avenues to employment for
low-income and disconnected youth in the summer of 2012. The initiative commits
the federal government and the private sector to creating 180,000 summer
employment opportunities for youth. Employers are invited to participate by
providing a range of work opportunities such as internships, on-the-job training,
mentoring programs, workshops, and job shadow days.
Building on our Assets: Economic Development and Job Creation in the East Bay:
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County was a major investor
and partner in this report, which was released in October 2011 by the East Bay
Economic Development Alliance (East Bay EDA). The report highlights the fact that
despite the current economic situation, the East Bay has underlying assets that bode
well for the region’s future: a highly educated workforce, world-class research and
development institutions, growing innovation industries in life science and clean and
renewable energy, a central location, vital goods movement infrastructure at the Port
of Oakland, and a wide variety of housing options, open space and recreational
opportunities, give the region East Bay an edge over other regions.
The Building on our Assets report has quickly become the signature analysis of the
East Bay economy and is helping the Workforce Development Board of Contra
Costa County, along with East Bay EDA and other partners to drive planning efforts
across Contra Costa County and the region during these exceedingly dynamic times.
Diablo Innovation Alliance (DIA): The Diablo Innovation Alliance (DIA), which
has received a lot of local and regional support from business, economic
development organizations, educational institutions, and elected officials, is one of
the signature projects that the WDB helped to launch with a “seed grant” of
$200,000 in ARRA funds. The DIA culminated in the development of a “regional
action plan” that identifies how the East Bay can help to accelerate clean energy
research and innovation, manufacturing, and market adoption through regional
collaboration and industry clusters. This project continues to be supported by the
WDB as it looks to develop education and training programs aligned with the
emerging needs in the clean energy and water technology industry clusters.
The DIA is being implemented by the Contra Costa Economic Partnership (CCEP)
and was recently bolstered with the award of a $500,000+ grant from the U.S.
Department of Energy Rooftop Solar Challenge, a national program to encourage
cities and counties to compete to streamline and digitize solar permitting. The DOE
funds will be used to develop the first phase of a solar permitting process within
Contra Costa County that encourages local jurisdictions to standardize permit
requirements so they are easily understood, consistent, timely and cost effective.
Subsequent phases and funding would involve the three-county region; successful
implementation would serve as a best practice model for statewide adoption.
Expanded Service Capacity: Thanks to policy support from the U.S. Department of
Labor and the State of California, the WDB has been able to ensure a smooth
transition into the post-ARRA environment. These policies have helped to sustain a
continued high level of services to businesses and (especially) job seekers through
our EASTBAY Works One-Stop Career Centers and three community-based
contractors that have been trying to help get people back to work following the
worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. ARRA funds helped to more
than double the number of job seekers receiving staff-assisted services through the
local workforce system, and with many of these individuals still in the process of
securing employment, the WDB is pleased to have sufficient resources to continue
services at this level until June 2012.
Completed Projects
Microsoft Office Suite (MOS): More than 200 individuals were trained in basic
Microsoft Office applications at adult school campuses, and more than 80% have
successfully completed the program. More than half of them have found
employment, most of which has been training-related.
BPI Training: One of the “gold standard” certifications that licensed contractors and
other building professionals need to retain their competitive edge are offered through
the Building Performance Institute (BPI). Two particular BPI certification programs
– Building Analyst Professional and Building Envelope Professional have become
important certifications for contractors that seek to obtain work to create more
energy efficient homes. The WDB’s ARRA Rapid Response funding helped to
provide training to twenty-one (21) licensed contractors located in East Contra Costa
County.
9. Community Services Bureau
EHS ARRA Expansion- Early Head Start (EHS) ARRA Expansion provided 170
additional infant/toddler slots throughout the county in Bay Point, Martinez, Rodeo,
Concord, Antioch, Oakley, North Richmond and Richmond in addition to the Home
Based program. As of September 30, 2011 EHS Expansion concluded and CSB
successfully achieved its goals to expand the EHS program and meet the needs of
EHS eligible families. EHS Expansion funds and the services and slots supported by
these funds continue at this time as part of CSB’s EHS base grant. Achievements
include increased services to eligible families, infant/toddler facility and classroom
upgrades, support to teachers to obtain the newly required 6 additional units in
infant/toddler care coursework, increased professional development opportunities to
enhance knowledge of best practices for infant/toddler care-giving, and expanded
technology support to staff.
Head Start/Early Head Start Early Learning Mentor Grant – The HS/EHS Early
Learning Mentor program provides mentoring for 12 CSB, Delegate Agency and
Child Care Partner teacher protégés. Mentoring is provided by 4 early childhood
consultants. Although this grant will conclude February 29, 2012, the program will
continue by utilizing the protégés as the nucleus of an expanding and ongoing
mentor program for the continued development of high quality professional early
care and education specialists. The protégés and mentors will participate in planning
sessions with the education managers and assistant directors on how coaching and
mentorship can be expanded in the Community Services Bureau. This plan will be
tailored to the agency’s school readiness and family engagement goals.
As a result of this grant CSB has strengthened and formalized its mentorship of
teachers by allowing a focus on more individualized mentoring and leadership
development. Protégés have demonstrated more effective facilitation, clarity of
learning objectives and implementation of individualized education plan for the
children. There is evidence of improved partnership with the parents in their
children’s education. Protégés and their mentors are preparing for a culminating
event on February 17, 2012 in which protégés will make individual professional
presentations around what they have learned to all CSB directors, site supervisors
and managers.
DOE/Weatherization- The California Department of Community Services and
Development awarded additional funding to the Bureau’s Department of Energy
(DOE) ARRA Weatherization Program in the amount of $1,101,321. The additional
funding raises the contract payment limit to $4,554,300. This contract ends March
31, 2012.
In July 2011, the State awarded additional funding to the Bureau’s Department of
Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program ARRA. The additional funding
of $500,000 will allow the Bureau to weatherize more dwellings owned or occupied
by the County’s low-income individuals and families.
A total of 1,085 units were weatherized from January 1, 2011 through January 31,
2012.
10. Workforce Services Bureau
• Through our Subsidized Employment Training (SET) program funded with TANF ECF
funds, the Workforce Services Bureau (WSB) engaged 416 public, private, and
non-profit employers who employed over 1,000 CalWORKs participants and other low
income residents and youth throughout the county.
• A total of $1,347,667 was used as in-kind match to the TANF ECF funds to fund the
SET program.
• Three hundred and fifty-eight (358) participants obtained permanent employment as a
result of their involvement in the SET program. The WSB also partnered with
EastBayWORKs using Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds to transition over thirty
(30) SET participants into “On the Job” (OJT) training slots to secure permanent
employment.
• The Workforce Services Bureau also established community collaborations that allowed
them to leverage TANF ECF funds to provide thousands of low-income EHSD families
with food boxes, school supplies, and transportation vouchers.
• The Workforce Services Bureau partnered with K to College and local school districts
for the distribution of educational supplies to elementary school children throughout
Contra Costa County.
• The Bureau also contracted with local taxi companies to provide transportation to
qualifying participants as well as with the Food Bank to provide food boxes to families
with an episodic food security need. These services were provided throughout the county.
• A total of $1,241,711 of TANF ECF dollars were spent on the school supplies,
transportation vouchers, and food boxes providing support to approximately 57,841
Contra Costa residents.
11. Anti-Drug Abuse Enforcement Team Recovery Act Program: The position filled by
the attorney funded by the ADA grant would not exist but for the grant funds. Over the
last year, the grant attorney has worked with Federal (FBI, DEA and Homeland Security)
and State Agencies (BNE, and Multijurisdictional Task Forces), in enforcement
operations that has led to the dismantling and disruption of several drug trafficking
organizations.
In one case, several Northern California cells of a large international “ecstasy” smuggling
and distribution group were dismantled, resulting in the arrests of nine individuals,
seizure of over 60,000 ecstasy pills, and the seizure of over $125,000.00. Prosecution of
defendants is ongoing. Spin-off investigations continue.
Other notable investigations coordinated with law enforcement agencies resulted in the
seizure of over 150 pounds of methamphetamine, 15 pounds of cocaine, and more than
400 pounds of marijuana. Over 50 major drug dealers have been charged with various
drug trafficking offenses, and over $450,000.00 were seized. It is likely that much of the
funds that were seized would have found their way to support further criminal activities.
The ADA attorney has also been instrumental in assisting law enforcement in the
prosecution of drug trafficking street gangs. Over 15 defendants were convicted of gang
activity in connection with their drug dealing. Efforts targeting these individuals continue
to be a priority.

This project will provide improvements to address safety concerns due to cross
median collisions. The connection of a southbound passing lane aims to
reduce the number of merges that drivers need to consider. The motoring
public will benefit from these improvements on this heavily traveled commute
corridor. The project hopes to reduce travel delays caused by accidents,
allowing reduced travel times for the daily commuter. Less time on the road
can translate to a positive social impact as well as a positive environmental
impact, such as the reduction of greenhouse emissions.
Federally funded projects are processed through the State Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) Local Assistance Office. The County is very familiar with
the Caltrans process, as the County receives federal funds on a regular basis. The
Caltrans Office of Local Assistance has very specific processing and reporting
requirements as detailed in the Local Assistance Procedures Manual. Reporting
requirements for ARRA will be more involved than the typical federally funded
project. ARRA has a stated goal of improving transparency and accountability at
all levels of government. Therefore, in addition to the normal reporting
requirements, ARRA funding will require the local agency to play a role alongside
the state and the Federal Highway Administration to report the completion status of
projects, estimate the jobs created and the jobs retained. Other reports provided by
the state and FHWA include the dollars, appropriated, allocated, obligated and
outlayed, the number of projects out to bid, awarded, work that has begun and
completed, the number of direct and indirect jobs, aggregate expenditure of state
funds, project description, estimated total cost, amount of covered funds used, etc.

ARRA provides funding that would
otherwise not be available to construct this
improvement. The development and
construction of this project will allow the
employment of local administrative staff,
engineers, technicians, inspectors,
construction contractors, carpenters,
material providers, equipment providers,
equipment operators, etc. as expected of a
typical capital improvement project. These
jobs would not otherwise have benefited if
not for this additional funding.
ARRA funding provides the creation or
security of jobs that would otherwise
not have been available. The influx of
funding has a positive impact on the
economy through the employment of
workers.
This project will provide rehabilitation of the road surface to extend the life of
the pavement and provide a smoother riding surface for the motoring public.
The motoring public will benefit from these improvements on this heavily
