DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana is currently in an Agreement with the Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) as the Fontana Expanded Program (FELP) Provider. FELP is an After School Education and Safety (ASES) Grant and Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) funded program.
As part of the grant required curriculum components, FELP provides academic support, physical education opportunities and 21st Century Skill lessons to meet the program requirements as well as align with the districts’ efforts to support students’ academic and physical development.
To support the operating agreement between the City and FUSD, FELP is recommending purchasing ZTag an additional component to support academic and physical education development of participants at all sites of the Fontana Expanded Learning Program. The ZTag curriculum offers a wide-ranging academic support curriculum based on physical activities and specialty programs, in a fun and engaging manner, for a variety of ages and skill levels.
This is a sole source contract as the curriculum is only available through ZTag and meets grant requirements. Purchasing Policy 3.1.5 allows the purchase when no competitive advantage would be gained from services that are unique and are only available from one source.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The program cost is $1,488,081.38 and is budgeted in the adopted FY 2023/2024 Community Services Department operating budget in account 38624101.8130. The cost is 100% reimbursable.
MOTION:
Approve the purchase of ZTag curriculum for the Fontana Expanded Learning Program to be used at all FELP program sites.
