Resolution - Public Health Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 to Contract HHS000077800035 under the HIV Prevention Services Contract, and any associated documents, by and between the City of Lubbock and the Texas Department of State Health Services, to provide funding for HIV prevention services provided by the City of Lubbock Health Department.
Item Summary
This contract provides funding from the HIV-STD Program of the Texas DSHS to strengthen prevention activities in the community including community engagement, focused HIV testing to at-risk populations, and linkage to pharmaceutical therapies such as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). The grant will enable staff to reach individuals outside traditional clinical settings.
Amendment 2 extends the contract through August 31, 2022, and changes the grant cycle from calendar year to state fiscal year. The amount budgeted for calendar year 2021 was reduced by $63,147 to $126,292 to reflect the shorter grant period. The total contract amount is $515,731.
Fiscal Impact
The amendment adds $126,292 to the contract increasing the total not to exceed from $389,439 to $515,731.
