RECOMMENDR11 ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Department Director, or designee,to EXECUTE
Contract# 38-834-1 with the Antioch Partnership for Quality Child Care, Inc. (dba Fids' Club) in an amount
not to exceed $908,000 for early childhood education and childcare services at the Fairgrounds Center in
Antioch for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL.IMPACT:
No net County cost. Contract costs will be offset by State Child Development and Federal Head Start revenues.
"BACKGROUND:
The Board certified on behalf of the Community Services Department on February 8, 2005 (D.2)that all areas of
noncompliance related to findings of deficiency have been corrected in the Head Start Program.
The Board also approved CSD to enter into an interim contract with the Antioch Partnership for Quality Child
Care (dba Kids' Club) on February 1, 2005 (D.2) for operations of the Fairgrounds Center in Antioch.
CSD has since completed its Request for Proposals (RFP)process, recruiting a long-term contractor to provide
direct services at the Fairgrounds Center in Antioch. Three respondents submitted proposals by February 11,
2005 for evaluation by Contra Costa County. Kids' Club was the highest ranked bidder by CSR's RFP review
panel. CSD hereby seeks authorization from the Board of Supervisors to enter into a one-year purchase of
service contract. This contract award to an outside agency satisfies the Stipulation, Waiver and Order between
the State of California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division and the County
requiring the transfer of operation of the child care and infant centers at the Fairgrounds site to a new licensee.
The award also satisfies the Quality Improvement Plan for CSR's Head Start program.
The Community Services Department will continue to directly operate 19 early childhood education and
childcare centers across the County.
