Title
Consider recommendations regarding a request for Consent to Assignment by Pacific Interpreters to LanguageLine Solutions and conversion of Purchase Order No. CN23946 to a Board Contract with LanguageLine Solutions, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a Joint Request for Consent to Assignment by Pacific Interpreters and LanguageLine Solutions, which would assign Purchase Order CN23946 between the County and Pacific Interpreters to LanguageLine Solutions, including all rights and obligations contained therein;
b) After approval of Recommended Action a), approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with LanguageLine Solutions to continue providing telephonic interpreter services for the Public Health Department for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023. This Agreement converts Purchase Order CN23946 to a Board Contract, extends the term for an additional two years, and increases funding by $550,000.00 for a revised total amount not to exceed $750,000.00, inclusive of $200,000.00 under Purchase Contract CN23946, but which otherwise cancels, nullifies, and supersedes Purchase Contract CN23946; and
c) Determine that the proposed actions do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, because the actions consist of the creation of a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.
