DISCUSSION:
The Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) is contracting with the City of Fontana to serve as their Fontana Expanded Program (FELP) Provider. FELP is fully funded through the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Grant and Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P).
As part of the grant-required curriculum components, FELP provides youth development components and 21st-century skills lessons to meet the program requirements, as well as align with the district’s efforts to support student education and social-emotional learning.
It is recommended the City contract with Bestwenty4 Studios LLC to provide the Season of Success Program for the Fontana Expanded Learning Program at elementary and middle school sites to support the Operating Agreement between the City and FUSD. The program will support participants’ interpersonal skills and expose them to social-emotional skills needed for successful social and academic achievement.
The Season of Success programming will focus on teaching participants essential life values, including self-awareness, conflict resolution, and responsible decision-making. Additionally, FELP staff will receive training on the FUNdamentals of Fun curriculum provided by Bestwenty4 Studios LLC.
This is a sole-source contract as the curriculum is only available through Bestwenty4 Studios LLC 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. The contract template is approved by BBK.
FISCAL IMPACT:

The City, per the Operating Agreement with the Fontana Unified School District, will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $14,880,864 per year for services provided to the grant based after school program.
