ATTESTED: February 3, 2015 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: Joanne Sanchez-Rosa, Ressie Dayco, Cassandra Youngblood C. 81 To:Board of Supervisors From:Kathy Gallagher, Employment & Human Services Director Date:February 3, 2015 Contra Costa County Subject:2014-15 Fairgrounds Center Childcare Services Operation, Amendment #2 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Fairgrounds Children’s Center, as a result of a Request for Proposal (RFP). First Baptist Church of Pittsburg was the successful respondent to the RFP. The first nine (9) months of the contract was approved by the Board on the above date, and the contract has been renewed annually since. The Board approved the contract for the 2014-15 program year on June 24, 2014. Contra Costa County receives funds from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide Head Start program services to program eligible County residents. County also receives funds from the California Department of Education (CDE) Child Development program for State Preschool and General Childcare and Development program services. The State requires an indemnification clause with County subcontractors wherein the subcontractor holds harmless the State and its officers for any losses. The board approved a contract amendment to add 5 childcare slots to the Head Start Enhancement program on September 9, 2014. This board order seeks approval to amend the contract to pass through the increased daily rate provided by the State Department of Education to the County via the State Preschool contracts. The daily rate has been increased from $19.53 to $20.50 per Child Day of Enrollment for State Preschool and from $29.41 to $30.88 for General Childcare and Development. The number of slots per program remain unchanged. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If not approved, County will not be able to more widely distribute childcare availability through partnership with community based agencies. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and, Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
