BACKGROUND In accordance with the plan approved by the Board of Supervisors in the Board Order of November 19, 1996, the Social Service Department on April 18, 1997 issued a Request for Interest (RFI) for In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Registry Services in the amount of $50, 000 . This RFI sought applications from public and private non- profit agencies to provide countywide registry services for IHSS clients who need assistance finding Independent Providers with the skills and experience consistent with each client' s home care needs . The service period begins 7/1/97 through June 30, 1998 . Three proposals were submitted in response to the RFI . Family and Community Services submitted a proposal for $50, 700 staffed by a full-time social worker and part-time clerical support . In addition their proposal indicated experience in providing countywide registry services that included but were not limited to, comprehensive assessment comprehensive intake, provider list, training, and ongoing program monitoring. The applicant subsequently withdrew the proposal as indicated in the attached letter. St . Vincent de Paul submitted a proposal for $52, 812 staffed by two full-time employees, an intake worker and a coordinator, who would work in conjunction with their existing Rapid Response Temporary Employment Agency, the County Service Integration Teams ((SIT) , and Social Service Department case managers in the GAIN and General Assistance programs to recruit aided persons to be IHSS providers . Independent Living Resource submitted a proposal for $147, 200 staffed by four full-time personal assistant specialists, part-time clerical support, and a part-time program director. The proposal would plan to extend the range and scope of services requested in the RFI to include not only registry activities but assessment of additional service needs of IHSS consumers, training for consumers, and support services as an authorized representative in the fair hearing process upon request . Following review of the two proposals remaining, the Social Service Department has determined that the proposal submitted by St . Vincent de Paul Society was most responsive to the service delivery objectives and $50, 000 funding availability specified in the RFI . • e•jj70 • Main Office,Walnut Creek C J/ 1300 Civic Drix-e `` Walnut Creek,Cry 94596 jrf�amity 4 Community Serulces Fax:(510)946.1869 ontra Costa Phone: (510)937.8311 RSVP:(510)937-5614 May 9, 1997 AIA Y 12 Care Connection Mr. Charles Couch �99j Care Management Dinner's Ready Contracts Administrator Friendly Visitors 40 Douglas Drive Gateway Helping Hands Martinez, CA 94553 Jobs for Seniors Meals on Wheels Money Management Dear Mr. Couch: Nutrition for the Elderly RSVP Senior Escort This letter is to request that you withdraw our Proposal/response to the Senior Friendly Request for Information(RFI) for the IHSS provider registry for IHSS ❑Antioch Office clients from consideration for funding. We do this with regret as we not only 3700 Delta Fair Blvd. Site 212 believe it is a needed service to low income people in need of help in our Antioch,CA 94509 county but feel we are very q ualified to provide the service.

We have been advised by our legal counsel not to seek to become Board of Directors involved in a contract which has the potential of causing more harm to our Chairman Joan Freeman agency name and good reputation than having the program would create Vice-Chairman good for the beneficiaries. Joanne Ross,C.PA. Treasurer As you are aware, we have many contracts with the county and provide high Charles Nicholas quality support services to our many elderly and disabled clients. We choose SeQe1ary not to risk our good name when it is clear we would be starting at a Kathryn Robertson disadvantage and with persons and groups_lined up against us seeking not to Dennis Dereeho Kathy Dorsey support a service but to further their own agenda.
