RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

 

Authorize the County Procurement Officer or Deputized designee to execute Amendment One to Contract with The Raise Foundation to convene the Child Abuse Prevention Council, and to renew and amend the Contract in an amount not to exceed $202,164, effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, for a revised cumulative total not to exceed $606,492, for the term of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Approval of Amendment One to the Contract will allow The Raise Foundation to continue convening the County's Child Abuse Prevention Council, which works to increase awareness and prevention of child abuse through public events, campaigns, training sessions for professionals and involvement with community-based providers.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Board designated The Raise Foundation (TRF) as the County's convening body of the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) by Board Resolution in 1974.

 

On May 10, 2022, the Social Services Agency (SSA) obtained Board of Supervisors’ (Board) approval of the current Contract with TRF for the term of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024, with a maximum obligation of $404,328, with the option to renew for one additional one-year term.

 

As the convening body of the CAPC, TRF's major functions include coordinate a countywide campaign for National Child Abuse Prevention Month and conduct Blue Ribbon Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month kick-off activities and events annually in either March or April. Attendees typically include civic and community leaders, parents, educators and other advocates for children. In addition, TRF educates the community throughout the year around key issues related to child safety, and TRF prepares and submits an annual report to the Board that summarizes program activities, accomplishments and community involvement for the prior year. Reference Attachment C Contract Outcomes.

 

The Contractor’s performance has been confirmed as satisfactory. SSA has verified there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to Contractor’s ownership/name, litigation status or conflicts with County interests.The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to this contract amendment.

 

SSA now requests the Board’s approval of Amendment One to the Contract with TRF for the term of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, as the County's convening body of the CAPC.

 

Subcontractors

Due to the nature of the services, this Contract could require the addition of subcontractors. In order to add subcontractor(s) to the Contract, the Contractor must seek express consent from SSA. Should the addition of a subcontractor impact the scope of work and/or Contract amount, SSA will bring the item back to the Board for approval. In the past, subcontractors have not been used for this Contract. See Attachment D for Contract Summary Form.
