SUDJCCT: Personal Services Contract, Statewide Automated. Child
Support System/County Child Support Operations Expert
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 8c BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Authorize the District Attorney to execute a personal services contract with the State
Department of Social Services in the amount of $61,082. Authorize the District Attorney,
as necessary, to execute any extensions or amendments to the contract. The contract covers
personal services to the State Automated Child Support Bureau by loaning a County employee
to serve in the capacity of County Child Support Operations rexpert, to assist in the
development of the Statewide Automated Mild Support System, pursuant to. Government Code
Section 19050.8.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. There is no net county cost associated. with the approval of this request. The
State Department of Social Services agrees to pay to Contra Costa County, monthly in arrears,
a total contract-amount not to exceed $61,082 for the term of the Agreement. -
There is a potential of $20,768 (34% of costs) in additional revenue, diminished only by
the possible need to hire staff to fill the position.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Statewide Automated Child Support System (SACSS) must be fully operational and certified
by the Federal Administration for Children and Families by October 1995. The system must
be developed and implemented in a manner that meets the needs of all California's District
. Attorney's Family Support Divisions in order to be effective.
In order to fully represent the views and provide expert knowledge of County end-user
operation, several functionally oriented teamsneedto be formed within the State Automated
Child Support Bureau (SACSS). One of these teams is Applications Support. The Applications
Support Team must include experts from several representative counties. These experts will
work with State Child Support Program experts, vendor staff and Statewide Automated Child
Support Bureau technical staff to analyze, design, modify and implement the system.
This agreement is to be entered into by and between the State Department of Social Services
and the County of Contra Costa for the purpose of the County providing personal services
to the Statewide Automated Child Support Bureau by loaning an employee to serve in the
capacity of County Child Support Operations Expert, pursuant to Government Code Section
19050.8. The State Department of Social Services will reimburse the County for the cost of
the employees salary and benefits. The State will directly pay a long term subsistence
allowance and travel expenses incurred by the employee.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the State Automated Child Support System project is not successful, the State will lose
as much as two (2) million dollars per month of reimbursement of welfare monies collected
and be subject to fiscal sanctions from the. Federal Government which would, in turn,
negatively impact the Counties.
Contra Costa County would also lose. the first hand knowledge and expertise gained, by one
of its own staff members, which would assist in.a smoother transition during conversion to
SACSS. If we do not have this first hand knowledge available to us we may need to hire
someone to assist with conversion.
