RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a resolution which: (1) Approves and authorizes the Chairman to sign a revenue renewal agreement, Cooperative Agreement No. 02A1753, with the State of California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) in an amount not to exceed $356,039.81 for the Opportunity Center to provide roadside maintenance services for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021; and (2)  approve and authorize the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Director, or any HHSA Branch Director designated by the HHSA Director, to sign minor amendments, including retroactive, that do not result in a substantial or functional change to the original intent of the agreement and do not result in a change in compensation of more than $35,000 as long as they otherwise comply with the Administrative Policy 6-101, Shasta County Contracts Manual.

SUMMARY

This revenue agreement provides Opportunity Center (OC) Participants the opportunity to learn and practice valuable employment skills by performing general roadside maintenance for the CalTrans District 2 Division of Maintenance at various Shasta County locations.


DISCUSSION

OC Participants have been providing roadside maintenance services through the Caltrans District 2 office since July 2006.  Through this agreement, adults with disabilities who are OC Participants, will continue to have the opportunity to learn and practice valuable employment skills.  These services are provided by an OC work crew consisting of six OC Participants, on average, under the supervision of one Work Instructor. 

Authorizing the HHSA Director or Branch Director to sign amendments to this revenue agreement provides flexibility for minor changes during the agreement.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may direct staff to negotiate different terms to the agreement or choose not to approve the agreement.


OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form.  Risk Management has reviewed and the Information Technology Department has approved the agreement. This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.


FINANCING

There is no County General Fund impact as the OC budget receives no General Fund support.
