AGREEMENT BETWEEN ORANGE COUNTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AND ORANGE COUNTY Introduction This agreement is entered into between the Orange County Partnership for Young Children and Orange County for the purposes of establishing comprehensive information and referral services available to public and private, non-profit agencies and families within Orange County. Both the Partnership and the County have been interested in the development of an automated I&R system, and have worked collaboratively during 1994/95 to reach agreement on the development of a system. The County has conducted a feasibility study which is presented in its report, Orange County: Information and Referral System, completed by the County in May 1995. The County also prepares the annual Orange Book which is a directory of services available in the county. The Partnership has designated certain funds for the development of a system in its 1994 annual Smart Start Plan, and developed a directory of resources of parents with young children called The Parent's Pages. Contract Purpose This contract is entered into by The Partnership and The County for the purposes of developing the first phase of the I&R system to include the purchasing of the necessary, computer equipment. The County will assume responsibility for this activity because it is able to purchase computer equipment more efficiently and at a better cost than the Partnership. Cost The Partnership agrees to provide the county with up to $50,000 in funding to purchase the necessary equipment and assist with other costs related to start-up efforts. Responsibilities The Partnership will: 1) work with the County in identifying appropriate sites for locating the computers that will maximize access throughout the County. 2) issue payment for capital expenditures based upon a bid and invoice from the County, within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. The County's invoice must describe in detail the type of equipment purchased and complete costs. 3) issue payment for other costs associated with start-up efforts based upon a detailed invoice from the County. Payment will be provided within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. 4) provide the County with a list of all community agencies that provide services to young children and families who could be potential consumers of the I&R system. 5) continue to work collaboratively with the County on implementing the I&R system.
