Subject:Bay Area Legal Aid Contract Extension and Amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
County AB 109 program.
This budget allocation recognized that there were no reentry legal services provided in the “Employment Support and
Placement Services” contract for Central County (Goodwill, Inc. being the contractor), as was provided in the
contract developed for “Employment Support and Placement Services” for West and East County AB 109
populations. (Rubicon Programs, Inc. partnered with Bay Area Legal Aid for West and East County AB 109
Employment Support and Placement Services, providing $108,116 for legal services in the contract.)
RFQ #1307-027 for Reentry Legal Services for Central County AB 109 Program was issued on July 29, 2013. The
Public Protection Committee of the Board of Supervisors reviewed the award recommendation for Bay Area Legal
Aid at its meeting on September 9, 2013 and voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors authorize a contract with
Bay Area Legal Aid in the amount of $80,000 for the period October 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The final contract was
executed for the period of November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
For fiscal year 2014/15, the CCP-Executive Committee approved 2014/15 AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget
at the February 14, 2014 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval.
On February 24, 2014, the Public Protection Committee accepted the CCP-Executive Committee's recommendations,
including the continuation of funding in the amount of $80,000 for reentry legal services.
Today's action amends and extends the current contract with Bay Area Legal Aid to increase the contract payment
limit to an amount not to exceed $80,000 and extend the contract term from June 30, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would result in the expiration of the Bay Area Legal Aid contract on June 30, 2014.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
