FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item does not require additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The total contract amount of $573,482 is funded by a one-time grant for Project Roomkey from the California Department of Social Services. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in the Office of Homeless Services’ (OHS) 2022-23 budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On June 14, 2022 (Item No. 24), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Contract No. 22-415 with Step Up on Second Street, Inc. (Step Up), for the operation of Project Roomkey, the County’s emergency sheltering program, to add isolation and quarantine capacity to California’s shelter and housing inventory. Project Roomkey provides non-congregate shelter and options, including emergency food services, to people who are experiencing homelessness and are recovering from COVID-19, or have been exposed to COVID-19, a place to recuperate and properly quarantine outside of a hospital.
After approval by the Board, OHS discovered that the contract with Step Up contained a minor error in one of the attachments. After consultation with County Counsel, it was recommended to present an amendment to the Board for approval to make the necessary correction. Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 22-415 with Step Up will replace Attachment H - Program Budget page, which contains a typographical error in the dollar amount of Program Administrative Costs and its subtotal, with the corrected Attachment H1 - Program Budget page. The replacement of Attachment H - Program Budget page with the corrected Attachment H1 - Program Budget page does not change the total program budget amount. All other terms and conditions of Contract No. 22-145 remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
