Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 072920-Sub Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support

Background Information

On October 20, 2020, the Board of Supervisors awarded Contract No. 072920-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support to Command Solutions 4 in the amount of $442,000.

The Health and Emergency Management Department has been awarded a $1.6 million dollar Expanded Laboratory Capacity (ELC) grant from the Arizona Department of Health Services in order to complement, not duplicate, existing COVID-19 funding provided to our jurisdiction. Gila County will leverage and build upon our existing public health infrastructure that emphasizes the coordination and critical integration of disease investigation, epidemiology, contact tracing, and health information systems in order to maximize the public health impact of available resources. The primary goals will be to create a fully implemented, scalable, and sustainable, comprehensive disease investigation, detection, surveillance, and rapid response section to our Health Emergency Operations Center (HEOC).

Evaluation

Amendment No.1 to Contract No. 072920-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support will serve to increase the contract amount from $442,000 to $882,000 and extend the term of the contract to 2/28/2022.

Our response to COVID-19 is trending to be a long-term event that will require extended staffing of many positions in the Incident Command Structure (ICS) that are not typically funded. Additionally, Health & Emergency Management has the upcoming challenge to hopefully plan mass vaccinations of all Gila County residents when and if a COVID-19 vaccination is approved for distribution. In order to meet the deliverables of the new Expanded Lab Capacity funding, and continue our current public health prevention work, Health and Emergency Management is seeking approval of this amendment.

Conclusion

The Health & Emergency Management Department Director would like to amend Contract No. 072920-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support to increase the contract from $442,000 to $882,000 and extend the term of the contract to 2/28/2022. Amendment No. 1 to the contract will affect this change.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Finance Director and the Health & Emergency Management Department Director that the Board of Supervisors approves Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 072920-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support to increase the contract from $442,000 to $882,000 and extend the term of the contract to 2/28/2022.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 072920-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 Incident Management Support between Gila County and Command Solutions 4 to change the contract from $442,000 to $882,000 and extend the term of the contract to February 28, 2022.
