SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Social Service Director, or designee, to negotiate and award a sole source contract for respite care services for emergency foster parents, as the result of a public advertisement, Request For Interest. The contract is to be with Family Support Services of the Bay Area for the period of December 15, 1996 through June 30, 1997 for the amount of $72,478. FISCAL: Per State DOE Agreement No. GRES-5001 , the California Department of Education has offered one time only Respite Child Care Services funds totalling $72,478. There is no required County match. BACKGROUND: The State Department of Education notified Contra Costa in July, 1996 of additional Respite Child Care Funds available for the 96/97 Fiscal Year under the existing State General Fund agreement approved by the Board of Supervisors November 28, 1995. The full allocation of $72,478 was included in an October RFI, to which three responses were received. One respondent was too limited in resources to be usable. Two respondents, though incomplete in themselves, are willing to enter into a collaborative contract to provide the needed services. The Social Service Department is therefore recommending a contract award as a "sole source" provider to Family Support Services of the Bay Area, which will also incorporate the services of the Family Stress Center's Respite Child Care Nursery. �CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S): ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE F SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.
