John Cullen, Director Costa
FROM: Social Service Department
County
DATE: January 9, 1997 Vit'I'2'oi
AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT UNDER SINGLE SOURCE
SUBJECT: CONDITION FOR FOOD STAMP STORAGE AND COUNTY WIDE
DISTRIBUTION SERVICE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Social Service Director, or designee, to
negotiate a sole source contract for the provision of a Food
Stamp storage and distribution system within Contra Costa
County. This negotiation process shall be in conformity with
California State Department of Social Service regulations
23-650. 11 and 23-650. 151.
FISCAL•
The department through its administrative claiming process
will pay a partial share of the resulting contract,
approximately 15%. The current contracted level of service
is projected at approximately $400, 000 for the 96/97 fiscal
year, of which $60, 000 would be County cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Social Service Department issued a public legal notice
run from November 23 through November 25, 1996. Only one
response has been received. Since the respondent is the
current contractor and services under that contract have
been satisfactory the Department wishes to enter into
negotiations for a new contract.
Since the U. S. Postal Service terminated its distribution
services in 1993, we have had a successful contracted
service delivery system at an increasingly reduced cost to
the County. With the much planned for future advent of a
debit card distribution system to replace Food Stamps, other
potential contractors are apparently unwilling to invest the
cost of infrastructure to supply Food Stamps through the
current system.The contract resulting from this
authorization will be brought back to tlue Bo of
Supervisors for final authorization.
