DATE: February 21, 1995
SUBJECT. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT AGREEMENT #24-473 WITH PITTSBURG
BOYS CLUB, INC. (dba East County Boys & Girls Club)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept letter from Pittsburg Boys Club, Inc. (attached), which serves the County with notice of
intent to terminate Contract Agreement #24-473, for provision of substance abuse prevention,
intervention and treatment in the Pittsburg and Bay Point communities effective June 30, 1995.
Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to issue an RFP (Request for
Proposal) which seeks proposals to provide substance abuse services to youth, adults and
families who reside in the Bay Point and Pittsburg communities. Total amount of funds
available are $161,495.
BACKGROUND:
The Pittsburg Boys Club, Inc., Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAPP) has provided
substance abuse prevention, intervention and treatment services to residents of Pittsburg and
Bay Point for seven years. Recently the Club's Board of Directors decided, after much
deliberation, against continued provision of these services. The Board has decided to focus just
on recreational activities for youth. Consequently, the services which have previously been
provided by the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAPP) will no longer be provided
through this agency. DAPP staff have indicated their interest in forming a new non-profit
agency to continue providing these services. The CSAS Division believes the interest of the
community is best served by an open RFP process. The CSAS Division will be recommending
that all of the existing alcohol and drug prevention dollars for the Pittsburg and Bay Point area
remain earmarked for this area.

RE: Contract 24-473-8 (July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995)
Dear Mr. Deutschman:
The Pittsburg Boys Club, Inc . dba East County Boys & Girls Club has
maintained a contractual relationship with Contra Costa County for
the past eight years to provide a drug and alcohol prevention
program (DAPP) . We believe this program has well served the
residents of East County. During our process of establishing a
Boys & Girls Club 1995 business plan, it became evident that a
range of additional services, currently not available in the
community, could be provided by DAPP if it became stand alone
agency, separate, structurally from the Boys & Girls Club . Club
resources would continue to serve East County youth, ages 8 to 18
years and these resources will remain available to DAPP for support
of traditional programs .
The DAPP program is in the process of applying for an incorporated
non-profit status . The East County Boys & Girls Club will assist
in this process as needed.
This letter will serve notice that East County Boys & Girls Club
will not seek renewal of Contract 24-473-8 at expiration, June 30,
1995 . By providing subject notice at this early date we are
hopeful that an orderly transition is possible to the end that
services provided residents of our community can continue
uninterrupted. We remain at your disposal to assist with
implementation of required changes .
On behalf of the East County Boys & Girls Club, I would like to
encourage you to continue funding to the DAPP Program, under its
new non-profit agency, as it is providing a valuable., much needed
service to our community.
Sincerely, ' 0n RECEIVED
Federal G over
