County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the amendment as requested.
Body
The purpose of this item is to review and approve Professional Services Agreement Amendment 2 which outlines changes to the scope of work and related deliverables and invoicing for year three of the CDC Vaccine Equity and Community Rebuilding project (also known as the Kellogg grant), which also includes a focus on the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) and Comprehensive Health Plan (CHP).
Summary of amendment to the Scope of Work, deliverables, and invoicing requirements:
--Capacity action plan is developed, based on health council assessment and identified goals.
--Mandatory attendance at capacity assessment training and Annual Statewide Health Council meeting.
--Invoices are to be submitted monthly - if a health council falls more than 3 months behind, they will be contacted and offered assistance to resolve issues by the next invoicing period.
--Invoices for FY24 Year 3 will not be accepted nor paid if not received by June 5, 2024.
This amendment has been reviewed and approved for signature by the County Attorney Office. The original agreement is included as Attachment C and Amendment 1 as Attachment D for reference.
Alternatives
Failure to approve the Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement between the Center for Health Innovation and Incorporated County of Los Alamos will prevent continuation of the work of the Vaccine Equity and Community Building project (Kellogg grant) which is designed to assist County Health Councils in building their capacity to support recovery from the COVID19 pandemic and improve the health and well-being of their community members.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Unplanned Item
This funding supports the limited term Comprehensive Health Plan Management Analyst position. Loss of this grant funding would require SSD to seek alternative sources of revenue.
