Costa

FROM: Linda Dippel, Director County
DATE: May 15, 2006
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment—Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Child Support Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG)to extend the contract termination date from June 30,
2006 until December 31, 2006. The payment limit of$100,000 will remain the same.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of this Contract is budgeted within the State's allocation to Child Support Services. There will be no
impact on the General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services is empowered to enter into contracts with private organizations, as
necessary, to carry out the responsibilities imposed by the State plan for securing medical support for children
and families.
The State plan requires a certain level of compliance in the area of medical support and a recent DCSS audit
revealed that the department is out of compliance on 44% of the cases. PCG has greater expertise, database
information and resources to assist in the medical enforcement services that would bring the department into
compliance with the State plan.
Because of delayed implementation of the original contract, the vendor has not had sufficient opportunity to
provide all the services as outlined within the original time frame. We are therefore requesting a 6 month
extension of the current contract to realize the full benefit of PCG's services within the scope of the contract.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request would restrict the Department of Child Support Services' ability to become
compliant in enforcement of medical support for the children of Contra Costa County.
