56. GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT WITH AZ EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND HEALTH BOARD (FIRST THINGS FIRST) FOR CHILD CARE HEALTH CONSULTATION SUPPORT LINE Approve a Government Agreement GRA-STATE-21-1109-01, between Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board (AECDHB), First Things First (FTF) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH). The intent of this grant is to provide a Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) Technical Assistance Support Line that will be available to non-Quality First enrolled childcare providers. Via phone/email these providers may seek guidance, education and answers to their most pertinent questions regarding the health and safety of staff and children amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding is in the not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the grant term of October 1, 2020 through July 22, 2021 unless terminated, cancelled or extended. This is a new grant award and it is not anticipated to continue beyond its initial term. It was non-competitive and there is no cash or in-kind match required. The project purpose is not a mandated function but is a benefit to the public by providing evidence-based Child Care Health Consultation services to childcare centers and homes in Maricopa County. When discontinued, on-going contributions will not be required. This is not CARES Act funding. This Grant deviates from County Policy A2505 and does not allow for full indirect cost reimbursement, but a maximum of 10% indirect cost reimbursement. MCDPH indirect rate for FY20-21 is 18.8%. The full indirect costs are estimated at $34,182 of which $18,182 is recoverable and $16,000 is unrecoverable. Departmental indirect rates are re-established at the beginning of each fiscal year and the future indirect rates will be collected at the corresponding rates. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation; therefore, expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This Agreement does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. Funding for this Agreement is provided by a Grant from FTF and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-21-070-X-00)
