SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Social Service, or
designee, to AMEND and EXTEND a contract with California
Check Cashing Stores for the storage and distribution of
Food Stamps Coupons in Contra Costa County for a three month
period beginning December 1, 1996 for a total of $120, 000
while a Public Notice is conducted for solicitation of
potential service providers.
FISCAL•
The Social Service Department may include the food stamp
distribution costs in its Administrative Expense Claim and
therefore approximately 850 of costs are reimbursed through
federal and state funds.
BACKGROUND:
When the United States Postal Service (USPS) decided to
cease acting as the provider of food stamp redemption
services under a contract with Food and Nutrition Services
(FNS) , the Social Service Department, with Board authority,
entered into a contract with one service provider for County
wide distribution through six demographically dispersed
distribution sites.
The Social Service Department is currently in the process of
a public notice period for all potential interested
contracting parties. This contract amendment and extension
is necessary to provide unbroken service delivery of Food
Stamps until a new contract can be put in place.
