BACKGROUND:
This Agreement was established to formalize a partnership between the County’s Health Services Department (CCH) and Contractor to implement a no-cost human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing and education program on-site at each of three (3) community colleges. The mission of CCH HIV/STI Program is to prevent the spread of HIV and other STI and reduce the impact of these infections by coordinating countywide education, prevention, testing and care services. Services may include rapid testing for HIV, hepatitis C and syphilis; laboratory-based testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia, risk reduction and education, HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) outreach and education, free condoms and lubricants, and resources and direct linkage to access services with CCH.
On October 4, 2024 the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #72-240 with Contra Costa Community College District for the County to provide HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections testing and education at Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos College and Contra Costa Community College, for the period October 1, 2024 through October 1, 2026. The Agreement includes a mutual indemnification provision requiring both parties to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party against all claims and liabilities arising from performance under the contract.
Approval of Contract Amendment #72-240-1 will allow the County to provide additional clinical and medical services to five District locations now including Diablo Valley College-San Ramon and Los Medanos College-Brentwood locations through September 30, 2028.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract Amendment is not approved, Contra Costa Community College District will not be able to expand services or include additional locations to support the reduction in HIV and STI infection in the community.
