5.1.2 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, County's COR may make Administrative

such AA will be referred directly to the COR.

scope of this Agreement, in the definition of services to be performed, and the time (i.e.) hours of the day, days of the week, etc.

COUNTY CONTRACT NUMBER 561763
AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY FOR SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM
Contractor of the request, Contractor may request that County withhold or redact records responsive to the request by

organizations (for -profit) are required to have a non-federal audit if, during its fiscal year, it expended a total of $750,000 or
more under one or more FIRS awards. 45 CFR part 74.26(d) incorporates the threshold and deadlines of the Compliance
Supplement but provides for -profit organizations two options regarding the type of audit that will satisfy the audit
requirements. Contractor shall include a clause in any agreement entered into with an audit firm, or notify the audit firm in
writing prior to the audit firm commencing its work for Contractor, that the audit firm shall, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 7503, and

or will issue a disclaimer of opinion due to substantial doubt of Contractor's ability to continue as a going concern.
13.8 Reports. Contractor shall submit reports required in Exhibit A and A-1 and additional reports as may be requested by the
COR and agreed to by the Contractor. Format for the content of such reports may be developed by County. The timely
submission of these reports is a necessary and material term and condition of this Agreement and Contractor agrees that
failure to meet specified deadlines will be sufficient cause to withhold payment. Contractor shall submit to County within
thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement a report detailing all work done pursuant to this Agreement by
Contractor.
13.9 Evaluation Studies. Contractor shall participate as requested by the County in research and/or evaluative studies designed to

1. Scope of Work/Purpose
Contractor shall provide nutritionally sound meals to individuals sixty (60) years of age and older living
throughout San Diego County. The meals shall be provided in a congregate (group) setting at Senior
Dining Centers. There is no charge to the senior for these services, but Contractor shall provide the
opportunity for the senior to make a contribution at a suggested donation amount. The eligible
population for Title III C-1 is defined as individuals sixty (60) years of age or older, with emphasis on
those in greatest economic and social need with particular attention to low-income minority older
individuals, older individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), and older individuals residing
in rural areas.
2. Background Information
The Senior Nutrition Program, which began in the County of San Diego in 1975, is funded through Title
III of the Older Americans Act, a federal program administered by State and County governments and
operated under rules, policies, and regulations of the California Department of Aging (CDA). County
of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Aging & Independence Services
(AIS), as the designated Area Agency on Aging, oversees this program. Nutrition services assist older
individuals to live independently by promoting better health and reduced isolation through a program
of coordinated congregate meals, home -delivered meals, transportation, and supportive services. In
fiscal year 2017/2018 various contractors served approximately 7,500 clients with lunches at several
sites throughout the County, and many contractors also served approximately 2,300 clients with home
delivered meals. Breakfast is also provided at some sites and to some home -delivered meal recipients.
Live Well San Diego Vision: The County of San Diego, Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA),
supports the Live Well San Diego vision of Building Better Health, Living Safely, and Thriving. Live
Well San Diego, developed by the County of San Diego, is a comprehensive, innovative regional vision
that combines the efforts of partners inside and outside County government to help all residents be
healthy, safe, and thriving. All HHSA partners and contractors, to the extent feasible, are expected to
advance this vision. Building Better Health focuses on improving the health of residents and supporting
healthy choices. Living safely seeks to ensure residents are protected from crime and abuse,
neighborhoods are safe, and communities are resilient to disasters and emergencies. Thriving focuses
on promoting a region in which residents can enjoy the highest quality of life.
On December 13, 2016, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at the recommendation of
Chairman Ron Roberts and Supervisor Greg Cox unanimously voted to establish the Live Well San
Diego Food System Initiative (Initiative), which positions the County of San Diego to take on a greater
role in the advancement of a safe, healthy, and robust food system. As part of the Initiative, the County
Board of Supervisors also received the Eat Well Practices, a guide for expanding healthy, local and
sustainable food and beverage options for the County. The County updated this policy to reflect the San
Diego County Board of Supervisors' direction as well as United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) regulations, General Services Administration's Wellness and Sustainability requirements and
Center for Disease Control's Smart Food Choices: How to Implement Food Service Guidelines in
Public Facilities.

regulations of the California Department of Aging (CDA). County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency
(HHSA), Aging & Independence Services (AIS), as the designated Area Agency on Aging, oversees this program. Nutrition

choices. Living Safely seeks to ensure residents are protected from crime and abuse, neighborhoods are safe, and
communities are resilient to disasters and emergencies. Thriving focuses on promoting a region in which residents can enjoy
the highest quality of life.
On December 13, 2016, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at the recomrhendation of Chairman Ron Roberts and
Supervisor Greg Cox unanimously voted to establish the Live Well San Diego Food System Initiative (Initiative), which
positions the County of San Diego to take on a greater role in the advancement of a safe, healthy, and robust food system. As
part of the Initiative, the County Board of Supervisors also received the Eat Well Practices, a guide for expanding healthy,
local and sustainable food and beverage options for the County. The County updated this policy to reflect the San Diego
County Board of Supervisors' direction as well as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations, General

EXPLANATION:
The City has been contracting with the County of San Diego since 1979 to provide dining room and
home delivery meal service to senior citizens 60 years and older. In December 2019, the City was
notified of the County's intent to award the City with a contract to provide senior nutrition programs. The
City has been awarded $200,514.62 for the remainder of FY20; the County has the option to extend up
to three additional 1 year terms in the amount of $330,927 for each year, with a total not -to -exceed
amount of $1,193,295.62.
The County requires the contract to be executed prior to the initial term, which begins February 1, 2020.
However, the County did not send the contract to the City until January 22, 2020. Therefore, it was
necessary to have the Mayor sign the Contract in advance of City Council approval in order to begin
receiving funds to support Nutrition Center operations.

equipment, including dates of purchase and disposition of the property. Inventory records on non -expendable equipment

At County's option, it may: 1) have Contractor deliver to another County contractor or have another County contractor pick
up the non -expendable property; 2) allow the contractor to retain the non -expendable property provided that the contractor

used for the public good; or 3) direct the Contractor to return to the County the non -expendable property.

writing prior to the audit firm commencing its work for Contractor, that the audit firm shall, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 7503, and

1. Scope of Work/Purpose
Contractor shall provide nutritionally sound meals to individuals sixty (60) years of age and older living
throughout San Diego County. The meals shall be provided in a congregate (group) setting at Senior
Dining Centers. There is no charge to the senior for these services, but Contractor shall provide the
opportunity for the senior to make a contribution at a suggested donation amount. The eligible
population for Title III C-1 is defined as individuals sixty (60) years of age or older, with emphasis on
those in greatest economic and social need with particular attention to low-income minority older
individuals, older individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), and older individuals residing
in rural areas.
2. Background Information
The Senior Nutrition Program, which began in the County of San Diego in 1975, is funded through Title
III of the Older Americans Act, a federal program administered by State and County governments and
operated under rules, policies, and regulations of the California Department of Aging (CDA). County
of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Aging & Independence Services
(AIS), as the designated Area Agency on Aging, oversees this program. Nutrition services assist older
individuals to live independently by promoting better health and reduced isolation through a program
of coordinated congregate meals, home -delivered meals, transportation, and supportive services. In
fiscal year 2017/2018 various contractors served approximately 7,500 clients with lunches at several
sites throughout the County, and many contractors also served approximately 2,300 clients with home
delivered meals. Breakfast is also provided at some sites and to some home -delivered meal recipients.
Live Well San Diego Vision: The County of San Diego, Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA),
supports the Live Well San Diego vision of Building Better Health, Living Safely, and Thriving. Live
Well San Diego, developed by the County of San Diego, is a comprehensive, innovative regional vision
that combines the efforts of partners inside and outside County government to help all residents be
healthy, safe, and thriving. All HHSA partners and contractors, to the extent feasible, are expected to
advance this vision. Building Better Health focuses on improving the health of residents and supporting
healthy choices. Living safely seeks to ensure residents are protected from crime and abuse,
neighborhoods are safe, and communities are resilient to disasters and emergencies. Thriving focuses
on promoting a region in which residents can enjoy the highest quality of life.
On December 13, 2016, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at the recommendation of
Chairman Ron Roberts and Supervisor Greg Cox unanimously voted to establish the Live Well San
Diego Food System Initiative (Initiative), which positions the County of San Diego to take on a greater
role in the advancement of a safe, healthy, and robust food system. As part of the Initiative, the County
Board of Supervisors also received the Eat Well Practices, a guide for expanding healthy, local and
sustainable food and beverage options for the County. The County updated this policy to reflect the San
Diego County Board of Supervisors' direction as well as United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) regulations, General Services Administration's Wellness and Sustainability requirements and
Center for Disease Control's Smart Food Choices: How to Implement Food Service Guidelines in
Public Facilities.

2. Background Information
The Senior Nutrition Program, which began in the County of San Diego in 1975, is funded through Title III of the Older
Americans Act, a federal program administered by state and county governments and operated under rules, policies, and
regulations of the California Department of Aging (CDA). County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency
(HHSA), Aging & Independence Services (AIS), as the designated Area Agency on Aging, oversees this program. Nutrition
services assist older individuals to live independently by promoting better health and reduced isolation through a program of
coordinated congregate meals, home -delivered meals, transportation and supportive services. In fiscal year 2017/2018
various contractors served approximately 7,500 clients with lunches at several sites throughout the county, and many
contractors also served approximately 2,300 clients with home- delivered meals. Breakfast is also provided at some sites and

Live Well San Diego Vision: The County of San Diego, Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA), supports the Live Well
San Diego vision of Building Better Health, Living Safely, and Thriving. Live Well San Diego, developed by the County of
San Diego, is a comprehensive, innovative regional vision that combines the efforts of partners inside and outside County
government to help all residents be healthy, safe, and thriving. All HHSA partners and contractors, to the extent feasible, are
expected to advance this vision. Building Better Health focuses on improving the health of residents and supporting healthy
choices. Living Safely seeks to ensure residents are protected from crime and abuse, neighborhoods are safe, and
communities are resilient to disasters and emergencies. Thriving focuses on promoting a region in which residents can enjoy
the highest quality of life.
On December 13, 2016, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors at the recommendation of Chairman Ron Roberts and
Supervisor Greg Cox unanimously voted to establish the Live Well San Diego Food System Initiative (Initiative), which
positions the County of San Diego to take on a greater role in the advancement of a safe, healthy, and robust food system. As
part of the Initiative, the County Board of Supervisors also received the Eat Well Practices, a guide for expanding healthy,
local and sustainable food and beverage options for the County. The County updated this policy to reflect the San Diego
County Board of Supervisors' direction as well as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations, General
Services Administration's Wellness and Sustainability requirements and Center for Disease Control's Smart Food Choices:
How to Implement Food Service Guidelines in Public Facilities.
