54. CONTRACT WITH CIRCLE THE CITY FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT Approve a Contract for Services between Circle the City (Circle the City) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH) for participating in a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Circle The City shall pay the County for the services described, in the not-to-exceed amount of $57,000. The term of this Contract is from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. This contract will provide funds to support MCDPH’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). This is not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the community by identifying the unmet need for health services in the area based on the population served. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), approved by Congress in 2010, requires hospitals to conduct regular CHNA’s and adopt implementation strategies to meet the needs identified. Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) and the Maricopa County Synapse Coalition, a coalition of non-profit and federally qualified health care partners, will work collaboratively to implement a comprehensive assessment of the health needs of Maricopa County residents through this contract. The Department of Public Health’s FY27 indirect rate for the Fee Fund is 12.15%, indirect costs are estimated at $6,175.21 and are fully recoverable. It is non-competitive and there is no cash or in-kind match requirement. (C-86-27-006-X-00)
