Costa
County
Subject:Amend Contract with Family Support Services of the East Bay
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
0-5 years. This contract was awarded as a result of the competitive bidding process, Request for Proposal (RFP)
1126. The goal of the respite program under the State Heritage Project, Options for Recovery Program, is to provide
comprehensive, high quality in-home and out-of-home respite services to support the relative caregivers and foster
parents in their full-time role as caregivers. Although FSSBA supports foster caregivers throughout Contra Costa,
most of these caregivers with drug-exposed children are located primarily in Richmond (West) and Pittsburg (East).
Respite services are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
This amendment is written to extend the contract term from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract is not extended the substitute care provider will not have the opportunity to receive respite for the
children in their care who are medically fragile.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Respite services support four of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: 1) “Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School”; 2) “Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood”; 4) “Families that
are Safe, Stable and Nurturing”; and 5) “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children
and Families.” Respite services may be used during times of crisis when a caregiver needs to be away from home or
when parents or relative caregivers must pursue other activities that temporarily take them away from children whose
special needs require ongoing care.
