CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
April 16, 2024 {{section.number}}h
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH ST.
VINCENT DE PAUL VILLAGE, INC. FOR ACCESS TO TWO SHELTER BEDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $104,710
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute an extension with St. Vincent de Paul, Inc. for shelter bed space in the amount of $99,710 for one year and an additional $5,000 available for additional capacity beds on an as-needed basis, resulting in a total amount of $104,710.
BACKGROUND:
The law provides that public entities could not impose criminal sanctions against homeless persons for sleeping on public property when they have no other meaningful options or access to overnight shelters. For the past three years, the City has contracted with St. Vincent de Paul for access to two shelter beds for individuals experiencing homelessness. The Police Department continues to have frequent contact with unhoused persons in the City. During the three-year contract period, Coronado Police Officers transported 148 unhoused individuals to the City’s contracted shelter, where they received temporary housing services.
The City Council awarded a 3-year contract with (1) optional one-year extension for shelter bed space to St. Vincent de Paul, Inc. on April 20, 2021. The formal competitive process was waived according to Coronado Municipal Code Chapter 8.04.070(A)(5), and the contract was granted to St. Vincent de Paul because no other satisfactory proposals were received, and they have been providing services to the City satisfactorily. The original contracted amount was $287,041. With this extension, we would exceed the contracted amount. The three-year contract will end on May 1, 2024. Staff requests City Council authorize the City Manager to sign a one-year extension commencing on May 1, 2024, through May 1, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
Staff seeks authorization for the City Manager to issue a one-year extension for shelter bed space beginning May 1, 2024. through May 1, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed one-year shelter bed space extension will not exceed $104,710. The first two months of this expense, approximately $16,618, will be paid out of operating budget savings in the FY 2023-24 Police Services Division (10021101-80030). The remaining amount will be programmed into the FY 2024-25 Police Services Division (10021101-80030) budget.
ALTERNATIVE:
The City Council may choose not to extend the existing agreement or direct staff to explore additional contracting options.
