BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill 636, which enacted the California Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act of 2001,
instituted an outcomes-based system which attempts to meet the needs of California's children and families for
improved safety, permanency and well-being. Contra Costa County began implementing AB 636 as one of
eleven Cohort 1 counties, and the County is now in its second year of ongoing implementation.
AB 636 requires the development of a System Improvement Plan(SIP). The SIP follows a state-prescribed
performance improvement planning process. The County submitted its first SEP to the State of California in
September 2004, and the County recently submitted its second SIP in September 2005. This contract will
provide assistance with the development of the SEP for the upcoming fiscal year.
California Consulting was selected through the competitive bidding process, Request for Interest 279 (RFI
#279). (#19-043-0)
