BACKGROUND:
|
In October 2007, the Human Services Agency (HSA) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention and Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Programs. This Contractor was selected for funding under the RFP. The County entered into Agreement with the Contractor on October 24, 2008 by Agreement 74200-09-C139.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
When HSA conducted the RFP process in 2007, Children's Collaborative Action Team (CCAT) was in a process of merging the System Improvement Plan and the CCAT Workplan. It is expected that this will happen in FY 2010-11. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the County to waive the RFP process and extend the term of the Agreement by (1) year to June 30, 2010. A RFP will be issued for services in FY 2010-11.
This Amendment will allow CUSD to continue to provide therapy and a referral system to children and families who are struggling or are in crisis and are not able to access any other services in order to improve their functioning in the family, community and school. The Contractor additionally provides assessment, referral, individual, group and family counseling to children and families who do not qualify for any other counseling services.
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits. County Counsel has approved this Amendment as to form and Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s insurance.

FISCAL IMPACT:
|
The new term of the Agreement is July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010. The amount of the Agreement is increased by $95,000 to a total obligation of $190,000 and is funded through the Promoting Safe and Stable Families Funds. Appropriation has been included in the Recommended Budget for FY 2009-10.
