SUMMARY
Since the 1970s, the Youth and Family Services Bureau (YFSB) has had an annual contract with the Alameda County Probation Department to provide services to the Delinquency Prevention Network (DPN) Youth Service Center. Services provided include crisis intervention, counseling, case management, and diversion programs and the services are provided to youth who are justice system-involved or at elevated risk of system involvement.
In 2018, the City was awarded a three-year contract to continue to provide DPN services with the option to extend for two additional years. In 2021, the contract was extended through June 30, 2023. In December 2022, a Request for Proposals was released soliciting bids to continue to provide DPN Youth Service Center services. The City of Hayward completed the application process and received a Notice of Intent to Award in May 2023. Subsequently, the County received a bid protest from an unsuccessful bidder. On June 14, 2023, the City was notified that rather than executing new contracts for successful RFP bidders, existing DPN contracts would be extended for a six-month period (July 2023 through December 2023) to accommodate the bid protest process. In November 2023, the City was again notified that existing DPN contracts would be extended for an additional six-month period (January 2024 through June 2024) while the bid protest process continued. Additional funding in the amount of $297,500 is being awarded to continue services through the additional six-month extension.
Council approval is requested to authorize the City Manager to extend the agreement with the Alameda County Probation Department to continue the important work of providing crisis intervention, counseling, case management and diversion services to youth who are system involved or at elevated risk of justice system involvement.
