SAWICKI, Director Department of Aging and Adult Services SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS WITH SENIOR NUTRITION SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR CONGREGATE AND HOME DELIVERED MEALS FOR SENIORS RECOMMENDATION: Approve amendments for congregate and home delivered meals to seniors, increasing the total contracted amount by $13,006 from $211,257 to $224,263 for Fiscal Year 2001/2002 as follows: Contract Agency Contract Requested Total Contract Number Amount Increase FY01/02 01-686 A-2 City of Montclair $ 35,505 $ 1,006 $ 36,511 01-687 A.2 City of San Bernardino $175.752 $12,000 $187.752 Total $211,257 $13,006 $224,263 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 22, 1972, President Richard Nixon signed into law the Nutrition Program for the Elderly Act, establishing the Senior Nutrition Program, as part of the Older Americans Act (OAA). This legislation created the congregate and home-delivered nutrition programs for seniors. Since 1978, DAAS has administered OAA Title III funds to provide Senior Nutrition Programs for the County of San Bernardino. In addition to providing nourishing meals, these programs provide nutritional education and counseling, companionship, and long term care protections to people 60 years or older, and their spouses. On February 13, 2001, the Board of Supervisors (BaS) authorized the Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) to issue a Request for Applications (RFA) for congregate and home delivered meals. The RFA was publicly advertised and, after meeting specific criteria published under the RFA, six (6) agencies were awarded contracts and three (3) agencies received Purchase Order awards to provide these services. On June 26, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved six contracts totaling $2,772,046, for congregate and home delivered meals for County of San Bernardino seniors in Fiscal Year (FY) 01/02. Limited Title III resources made it impossible to fund this program at the same level as it was funded in the previous fiscal year. This resulted in several service areas receiving reduced awards from the previous year subsequently jeopardizing their ability to maintain comparable service levels. cc: HSS/Bldgs & Finance-Jacki Baxter w/agreement Contractor w/agreement cia HSS/Bldgs & Finance Auditor-Sandy Kelly w/agree.

AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS WITH SENIOR NUTRITION SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR CONGREGATE AND HOME DELIVERED MEALS FOR SENIORS June 18, 2002 Page 2 of 2 As part of the June 26, 2001 approval, to protect this program from service reductions, the Board of Supervisors agreed to maintain the same level of services in the Senior Nutrition Program as the previous fiscal year using Realignment revenues, pending federal, state andlor other funding. On November 20, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved amendments totaling $57,506 to four of the nutrition contracts to maintain this program at a level consistent with the FY 00101 service level. The California Department of Aging issued one-tirne-only funds for nutrition and supportive services. The funds were targeted to meet specific requirements such as advertising, replacement of worn equipment, increased fuel, and utility costs, etc. The Board of Supervisors approved this revenue increase in February 2002. Approval of these amendments awards a total increase of $13,006 of one-time-only funds to allow these contractors to make improvements as per the specific requirements set forth by the CDA in FY 01/02. On June 4, 2002, the Board of Supervisors approved four amendments totaling $88,903 to four of the nutrition contractors providing congregate and home delivered nutrition services. These final two amendments were pending City Council approval and were not received in time to meet the deadlines for the June 4, 2002 Board of Supervisors meeting. REVIEW BY OTHERS: This amendment has been reviewed by the Office of County Counsel (Phebe W. Chu, Deputy County Counsel) on May 8, 2002; the Senior Affairs Commission on May 8, 2002; and HSS Contract Compliance (Lori Ciabattini, Administrative Supervisor) on May 9, 2002. The item has been reviewed by HSS Finance (Kristin Letterman, Administrative Manager) on June 5, 2002 and the County Administrative Office (Gary Morris, Administrative Analyst) on June 4, 2002. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these amendments will increase the contracts by a total of $13,006 for a FY 01/02 total contract amount of $224,263. Adequate appropriations and revenues have been included in the Department's FY 01/02 budget. Approval of this item will not result in any additional local cost.

On February 13, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved a Request for Application (RFA) to solicit agencies to operate congregate and home-delivered nutrition programs throughout the County of San Bernardino.

Applications were evaluated on organizational information, project objectives, project description, fiscal management systems and budgetary information. Because the OM requires programs to target rural, low-income, and/or ethnic seniors, the geographic area of service and target populations of each application were also considered during the final award process, Based on these criteria, each agency submitting an application was recommended for award. However, due to limited Title III resources, DMS was unable to fund the applications at the levels requested. The Title III recommended funding award was based on the current number of meals served in each agency's service area. The table below details each agency's Title III request and the actual FY01/02 Title III awards. Four of the agencies recommended to receive Title III awards have also been recommended to received a one-time-only County Re-alignment Fund augmentation to bring the FY01/02 funding level to within a less than 5% decrease from last years funding level in each agency's service area, In addition to the Title III and County Realignment Funds, two additional funding sources come together to determine the total contract award. First, DMS has assisted interested contractors in applying for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from various Cities and agencies to provide additional funding to the nutrition program. Four contractors have been awarded CDBG funds for FY01/02. Finally, each agency providing meals for the Senior Nutrition Program is eligible for a $.53 per-senior-meal-served reimbursement from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA funds are incorporated into the contracts based on the number of contracted meals to be served.
