______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, The Human Services Agency conducted a RFP in February 2009 for providers who could provide housing for additional beds throughout the County, and received only one proposal, and this proposal is currently being evaluated, and it is in the County’s best interest to waive the RFP process for YFES while this other proposal is evaluated because YFES has the expertise and experience to provide all the support services that the residents need to ensure a successful transition to independence and is the only other provider at this time; and

 

WHEREAS, in October 2007, the County of San Mateo purchased a triplex property for transitional housing to house former foster youth; and

 

WHEREAS, On June 25, 2009 by Resolution 069536 the County entered into Agreement with YFES in the amount of $247,050 and term of June 25, 2008 through June 30, 2009 to provide the Transitional Housing Program Plus (THP-Plus) for a total of eight (8) youth at the County’s Triplex facility and one (1) youth at the Daybreak Facility.

 

WHEREAS, both parties wish to amend the Agreement to extend the term by one (1) year to June 30, 2010 and increase the amount by $253,800 for a total obligation of $500,850 to continue services while evaluating the proposal received from the February 2009 RFP; and

 

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented with a form of such Amendment to the Agreement and has examined and approved it as to both form and content and desires to enter into the same.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the A) The Request for Proposal process is waived; and

B) The President of this Board of Supervisors is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Amendment to the Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President's signature thereto.
