Conway Freeman arbara Kirkmeyer Gc= (-1LC3T1T'G/BMW) Lit -III 2017-0511 HL0049 Memorandum TO: Julie A. Cozad, Chair Board of County Commissioners FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH Executive Director Department of Public Health & Environment DATE: February 2, 2017 SUBJECT: Immunization Core Services FY17-18 Continuation Contract Enclosed for Board approval is an Immunization Core Services continuation contract between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Weld County Board of Commissioners for the benefit and use of the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment (WCDPHE). With the approval of this contract, funding will be used to create higher immunization rates in Weld County children to reduce morbidity and mortality of infectious disease. We will follow CDC guidelines for immunization and follow-up of children and adolescents to guard against vaccine - preventable diseases. We will provide immunizations and educational materials in collaboration with schools, daycares, and community agencies, such as WIC. In addition to provision of immunizations, WCDPHE will provide technical support to community physician offices on the complex immunization schedules, conduct reminder/ recall activities, and maintain accurate reporting of immunizations to the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS). The term of this continuation contract is from April 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018. The term of this contract is for 15 months rather than the typical one year because the Federal government is changing the funding cycle for this grant to align with the State's fiscal year end. After the June 30, 2017, contract expiration, the funding cycle will be fully transitioned to a 12 -month State fiscal cycle beginning July 1 of each year and ending June 30 of each following year. For the 15 - month period, Weld County will be reimbursed an amount not to exceed $169,129 for the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. Funds include $106,740 in Federal funding and $62,389 in State funding. This continuation contract was approved for placement on the Board's agenda via pass -around dated January 31, 2017. I recommend approval of this continuation contract for the Immunization Core Services Program with CDPHE. 2017-0511 r1-'0 get DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY NAME COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT DCEED-IMM DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY NUMBER FAAA TASK ORDER AMENDMENT ROUTING NUMBER 17 FHHA 96783 To Original Task Order Routing Number 15 FHHA 74652 TASK ORDER AMENDMENT #4 This Task Order Amendment is made this 12th day of January, 2017, by and between the State of Colorado, acting by and through the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT, whose address or principal place of business is 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver, Colorado 80246, hereinafter referred to as the "State"; and, Board of County Commissioners of Weld County (a political subdivision of the state of Colorado) for the use and benefit of the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, whose address or principal place of business is 1555 North 17` Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80631, hereinafter referred to as the "Contractor".
