Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with the Janet Goeske Foundation for the management and operation of the Janet Goeske Senior Center in the amount of $780,054 for an additional two-year term period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council:
Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with the Janet Goeske Foundation for the management and operation of the Janet Goeske Senior Center for the term of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, in the amount of $780,054; and Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Second Amendment to the Agreement with the Janet Goeske Foundation, including making minor and non-substantive changes.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Riverside has contracted with the Janet Goeske Foundation to provide the management and operation of the Janet Goeske Senior Center since August 1996.
On August 9, 2016, the City and the Foundation entered into a re-stated Agreement for the management and operation of the Janet Goeske Senior Center.
On September 15, 2020, the City executed the second extension for a one-year term that expired on June 30, 2021.
As a result of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) many community services were reduced to adhere to social distancing guidelines. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (PRCSD) renegotiated the Agreement with the Foundation, as the senior center offered reduced services to adhere to state and local guidelines on social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. A reduction of $11,963.25 was negotiated based on a reduction in services.
On July 6, 2021, the City and the Foundation entered into the final extension to the agreement for an additional one-year term which expired on June 30, 2022.
On July 28, 2022, the City and the Foundation entered into another management and operations agreement through June 30, 2023, with the option to extend for two additional two-year terms.
On March 20, 2023, the City executed the first amendment for a two-year term that expired on June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
This Second Amendment will continue the partnership with the Foundation through June 30, 2027, and will allow the City to carry on providing resources that will benefit and serve the City’s senior population. The two-year term total cost of $780,054 will be paid to the Janet Goeske Foundation on a quarterly schedule for management and operations of the Janet Goeske Senior Center.
The Amendment is in accordance with Purchasing Resolution 24101, Section 702 Exceptions. Competitive Procurement through the Informal Procurement and Formal Procurement process shall not be required in any of the following circumstances: (d) When the Procurement can only be obtained timely from a single source and the Manager is satisfied that the best price, terms and conditions for the Procurement thereof have been negotiated.
The Purchasing Manager concurs that the recommended actions are in accordance with Purchasing Resolution 24101, Section 702 (d).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
