Re: Request for Exemption to Bidding for Professional Services Agreement with Interfa
ith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego The purpose of this memorandum is to request authorization for an exemption to the bidding process per Municipal Code - Purchasing Code 3.28.110 (N). This code provides a bidding exemption for situations where solicitations of bids or proposals for good, services and/or professional services would be, in the discretion of the awarding authority, impractical, unavailing, impossible, or not in the best interests of the city.
In October 2022, the City Council approved a new strategic plan and reaffirmed its commitment to reducing homelessness and its impacts on the community, while recognizing the complexity of this regional, statewide and national crisis. On Feb. 7, 2023, the City Council adopted a Homelessness Action Plan
ffects on the
local communit
y. The plan outlines programs and initiatives that the city plans to carry out over the next five years.
The State of California, through the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), created an Encampment Resolution Funding Program grant in 2021 to assist local jurisdictions in ensuring the wellness and safety of people experiencing homelessness in encampments by providing services and supports that address their immediate physical and mental wellness and result in meaningful paths to safe and stable housing. The program supports cross-systems collaboration and service strategies to help people experiencing homelessness transition out of encampments and into housing. The City of Carlsbad applied for funding from the program in February 2023 and received notice in June 2023 that the state awarded the city the $2,358,408.94 in grant funds that it requested.
Performance under the grant must begin no later than 30 days after the grant agreement with Cal ICH is fully executed, or on the express date set by Cal ICH and the city after all approvals have been obtained and the grant agreement is fully executed. If the city fails to commence work by the agreed upon time, Cal ICH reserves the right to terminate the agreement. In order to commence work at the agreed upon time, the city does not have enough time to advertise request for proposals and conduct a best value evaluation for these services.

June 2
3, 2023
Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego are the subgrantees that were pre- identified by the city in the grant application. These local service providers were identified due to their active and ongoing partnerships with the city and their current work in addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness in Carlsbad. It is in the best interest of the city to enter into professional service agreements with these subgrantees to meet the scope of services outlined in the grant application and continue to serve the Carlsbad homeless community without any interruption.
The Housing & Homeless Services Department has previously conducted Request for Proposals for different types of homeless services activities with very limited results due to the limited amount of homeless service providers in the region. It is unlikely that new requests for proposals will result in additional bidders. The city currently has agreements in place with Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego for services that are addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness. Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego also owns and operates the La Posada de Guadalupe homeless shelter, which is the only homeless shelter in Carlsbad. Southern California Care Community is the only medical services organization providing free medical care for people experiencing homelessness in Carlsbad.
New professional services agreements with Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego will allow the city to move forward with the services identified in the grant application and secure the Encampment Resolution Funding Program grant with the state. The city would risk losing the grant funds if the project was to go through a formal Request for Proposal process. Providing an exemption allowing the city to enter into agreements with the identified local service providers would ensure the city secures the grant funds.
Housing & Homeless Services Department staff will be presenting the Encampment Resolution Funding Program to the City Council on July 11, 2023, with a recommendation to authorize execution of an agreement with Cal ICH and related professional service agreements with Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego to provide services that address the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The
agreements with the subgrantees will be
effecti
ve until June 30, 2026. The breakdown of the agreements is attached.
