Request/Subject

Professional Services Contract No. 040820 with Community Alliance Consulting signed by the County Manager.

Background Information

Gila County was informed that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health was offering localities funding to partner with community organizations to connect minority, underserved populations with vital services, and promote pandemic safety measures in an effort to encourage COVID-19 vaccination among underserved populations. Based on the County's demographics, and continued risks from COVID-19 outbreaks, as well as the County's outstanding track record in vaccinations, it is believed the County is a prime candidate for this funding. In this situation, the County does not have the current capacity to put together such a detailed application under the current timetable and have requested assistance.

The Board of Supervisors has authorized the County Manager to sign contracts which are under $50,000. Any amendments to a contract may not exceed a contract amount totaling under $50,000.
