10 ("Agreement"), for evidence-based parenting programs designed to provide a collaborative
11 range of services, including parenting skills, healthy relationship activities and resources for

13 B. This Agreement previously has been extended in accordance with the terms of the
14 Agreement by mutual consent of the parties to its full potential five-year term, which is schedule
15 to expired on September 30, 2023.
16 C. The County needs to amend the Agreement to further extend the term of the Agreement,
17 as the County requires additional time to complete the competitive request for proposal ("RFP")
18 process to obtain a new agreement, in accordance with the County's purchasing procedures.
19 D. The County desires to continue services for the parenting program centered on the
20 evidence-based, trauma-informed Nurturing Parenting Program to eligible offenders under
21 supervision of the Fresno County Probation Department while the RFP process for the new
22 agreement is completed. The Contractor represents that it is able to continue providing the
23 County with said services.
24 E. The County and the Contractor now desire to amend the Agreement to further extend
25 the term for an additional six (6) months, through March 31, 2024, with the option of two (2)
26 additional three-month extensions, in the event the RFP process takes longer than expected, to
27 continue the provision of parenting programs to eligible offenders and increase the maximum
28 annual compensation, to allow the Contractor to provide such additional necessary services.
