FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County receives funds from California Department of Education (CDE) to provide State Preschool services to program eligible County residents. To provide a wider distribution of services to County residents, the County contracts with a number of community-based organizations. This interagency agreement with San Ramon Valley Unified School District will provide childcare services for forty-eight (48) children enrolled in the childcare program. This vendor was selected per procurement requirements outlined in Administrative Bulletin 600.3.
On June 13, 2023, the Board approved Item C.105 for an interagency agreement for Fiscal Year 23/24. On December 9, 2025, the Board approved Item C.45 to amend agreement to increase the payment limit with no changes to the term. This action seeks to renew the agreement for the term July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The agreement contains a clause for the Agency to indemnify the State.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the proposed action not be approved by the Board of Supervisors, the County will be limited in offering childcare availability through partnership with community-based agencies.
