Recommended Action

Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Yolo County is one of the 58 counties in the CalSAWS Consortium that implemented CalSAWS as a primary business application for determining public assistance eligibility, computing, issuing and tracking benefits for CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, CalFresh, General Assistance, and Foster Care. Postage for printing resources is not part of the CalSAWS project contract, leaving counties to provide their own postage. Since all 58 counties faced similar challenges and requirements for meeting the CalSAWS printing specifications and mandated requirements, consortium members developed a strategy to standardize the printing solution, maintain data integrity, avoid duplication of effort, and is cost-effective.

The Consortium developed a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), which allows members to utilize the contract County of Sacramento has with Document Fulfillment Services (DFS) for CalSAWS client correspondence printing and mailing services.

HHSA is requesting the approval of the Purchase Order so postage can be applied to essential and required printing services provided by DFS for CalSAWS through the JPA which Yolo is a member.
