EXHIBIT "A "
Scope of Services

user census and consultation services that include census records, system programming,
sharing of data, survey work, analyzing impacts, and mitigation options and solutions. This
limited scope of work will collect, analyze, and distribute data regarding the baseline of
homeless concentration pre and post implementation of the County's Pilot Whole Person Harm
Reduction Program. This data will cover the Fulton Corridor and within a 600' radius of APNs
46621104T, 46621103T, and 46621119T, commonly known as the Department of Public Health
Brix-Mercer Complex. Potential data collection includes a point in time census of the
unsheltered and/or unhoused population.
Definitions
Brix-Mercer Complex—The tandem of buildings and trio of parcels that house the Fresno
County Department of Public Health. The Mercer Building is located at 1211 Fulton Street. The
Brix Building is located at 1221 Fulton Street. The address commonly used to refer the Brix-
Mercer Complex is 1221 Fulton Street.
Department of Public Health —The County of Fresno's local health jurisdiction that
encompasses the 15 incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas that constitute the whole
of the County of Fresno.
Harm Reduction —The public health approach of minimizing or reducing negative health,
social, and economic consequences of risky behaviors.

P-24-006 Downtown Fresno Partnership

Harm Reduction Programming. These will include food stability, housing vouchers, bus tokens,

individuals for a comparative analysis.

Contractor to provide data to the County
Unhoused - see Homeless
Unsheltered — see Homeless
Point in Time Census
A point-in-time street count will occur for an approximately 600-foot radius catchment
area around the FCDPH Brix-Mercer Complex. This area will be divided into nine smaller
quadrants. Contractor will provide a team consisting of two (2) trained persons who will be
surveying the number of people identified as possibly unhoused in the catchment area.
In addition to noting their unhoused status, Contractor will record if they witness any
active drug use, excluding tobacco or marijuana, while conducting their survey of the area. Data
collected will be determined on the level of confidence the Contractor has in their determination
of the actions of the person being counted. Contractor will only count an individual once a day,
even if they change quadrants during the area survey, when it is known to Contractor that it is
the same person. However, it is unavoidable that double counting may occur given the
collection of minimal data.
Contractor will collect their point-in-time census data every Wednesday during the hours
of 11:00am Pacific Time and 12:00pm Pacific Time and every Saturday from 2:00pm Pacific
Time and 3:00pm Pacific Time. Contractor will begin the point-in-time homeless census on
January 1 st, 2024 and will continue through December 31 st, 2024. Contractor will be made
aware of the start date of the Pilot Whole-Person Harm Reduction Program in advance.
Data will be collected using an electronic form hosted in REDCap. Contractor will collect
data immediately on their phones or tablets in the electronic data collection form. Contractor will
be provided access to this electronic form for the input of data. If data is not entered directly into
P-24-006 Downtown Fresno Partnership
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER: P-24-006 Page 3
The Downtown Association of Fresno DBA Downtown Fresno Partnership
December 22, 2023
the electronic form, Contractor will collect data on a paper form that mimics the electronic form
and then enter the collected data into the official electronic database within a specific timeframe,
as agreed upon by the County and Contractor. Point in Time census counts, and associated
data will always be recorded at the time the census is conducted using the electronic form or
paper form to prevent inaccurate data associated with delayed recording of data collected by
the Contractor. To reduce bias, recent Point in Time census counts collected by other
Contracted parties or DPH will not be shared with the Contractor prior to their collection of data.
Contractor will follow Point in Time census counts as instructed in Exhibit C.
Contractor will work with Department of Public Health to distribute information and
provide a means of communication between the Department of Public Health and local area
businesses to generate regular discussions impacting the local businesses and social
determinants of health in the surrounding communities. The goal of this distribution of
information is to create an open dialogue and build trust between the Department of Public
Health and its neighbors in the Downtown Fresno area, and particularly the Fulton Street
Corridor.
Contractor will also work with local area businesses to encourage participation in County
programming regarding additional data collection with regards to their experiences with the Pilot
Whole-Person Harm Reduction Program, the Department of Public Health, the homeless and
any changes that may have occurred because of factors brought about by the County's Pilot
Whole-Person Harm Reduction Program.

Unsheltered/Homeless Identification
For this census count,only those who are experiencing homelessness and are
unsheltered in a public place will be counted.HUD's definition of an unsheltered
homeless person is one who resides in"a place not meant for human habitation, such
as cars,parks, sidewalks, abandoned buildings(on the street)".
Although the definition is straightforward, identifying those experiencing
homelessness is difficult, especially when basing counts by observation alone.
Homeless people are a diverse and varied group in terms of age, gender, ethnicity,
circumstances, and dress. Due to this it is important for teams to record the level of
confidence they have in their determination of if the person meets the qualifications.
It is also important that teams conducting the census do not assume people are
homeless based on preconceived notions and bias.
This census will include direct"street"counts of unsheltered/homeless persons by 1)
Simple counts done in non-shelter locations within the catchment areas or 2)Counts
with an interview component(Kingview).
Who to include in your counts
When an interview component is used:
a) High level of confidence- individuals that self-identify as experiencing
homelessness
Typically the following will fall under the high or medium level of confidence:
b) All adults, children,and unaccompanied youth sleeping in places not meant
for human habitation,which include: Streets,parks, alleys,parking lots,bus
stops, outdoor stairwells or doorways, and other similar places
c) Those living in a tent or hand-built structures
P-24-006 Downtown Fresno Partnership
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER: P-24-006
The Downtown Association of Fresno DBA Downtown Fresno Partnership
December 22, 2023
Although not all who fit within the below descriptions may be homeless for the sake
of this census count the following items will be proxies for potential homelessness:
d) Individuals panhandling
e) Persons holding large amounts of belongings or pushing a cart or stroller
with their belongings
If other reasons are made to make the determination that the person is homeless,they
will fall under low level of confidence.
Surveyors will only count those who are readily visible from their survey
location on the street(car)or sidewalk(walking). If unsheltered are in a
readily visible location inside an empty lot, stairways,alleyway,etc.they
will be counted. Surveyors will not go or look inside any empty or
abandoned buildings, go into areas not easy to see (e.g.,under thick bushes),
climb stairways,move any items,or go into an area deemed unsafe.People
going into or out of businesses,residences, or places of work will not be
counted. Surveyors will report the actual number of people counted during
the point-in-time survey with no adjustments.
Drug Use
While conducting your area assessment,if your team witnesses active drug use,
excluding tobacco or marijuana use,please record this in the data form form
separately from the unsheltered/homeless counts.
For the unsheltered/homeless and drug use counts,try to only count an individual
once a day, even if they change quadrants/areas during the assessment.If you are
unsure if it is the same person,then count them in the new quadrant/area.
Data Collection Form
I. Data and Time:The date and start time should represent the date and time the team physically
started the area census assessment.These will automatically be filled out when you open the form.

II. Recorder:The name of the person or team collecting and recording the data. For every form you
submit you need to enter something that can be linked back to you or your team, it can be a full
