BACKGROUND:

On April 20, 2021, the Board approved a contract with One Solution Technology, Inc. to provide the Child Location Observation Utilization Data System (CLOUDS) software for managing the child family eligibility determination, enrollment, assessment data, and attendance management solutions with a term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024 and a total payment limit not to exceed $1,584,000. This amendment will increase the total payment by $65,000 with a new total not to exceed $1,649,000.

One Solution Technology, Inc. provides the Child Location Observation Utilization Data System (CLOUDS) software for managing children and families that are registered in Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Community Services Bureau (CSB) State and Federal Childcare programs. Programs include State programs like California Department Social Services - Alternative Payment Programs and General Childcare and Development as well as California Department of Education - California State Preschool Programs.

 

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

 

The Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School,” Outcome 3: “Families that are Economically Self-sufficient,” and Outcome 4: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing.” These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high-quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.

 

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

 

If not approved, One Solution Technology, Inc. will not have adequate funds to proceed with the additional services requested by EHSD, thereby limiting EHSD program’s ability to provide outreach to the families within the community.
