RECITALS A. In April, 2021, the City released Request for Proposals #21-061 (“RFP”) for the Homeless Outreach – Street Outreach and Engagement pilot program in the City of Santa Ana, which is service delivery for the specific purpose of reaching out to unsheltered homeless neighbors; connecting them with emergency shelter, housing, or critical services; and providing urgent, non-facility-based care. The RFP allowed for selection of vendor to provide services for up to two (2) years with extensions. B. On October 6, 2021, the Parties entered into Agreement #A-2021-096 for said services and included the RFP as an exhibit to the Agreement #A-2021-096. On July 19, 2022, City Council approved a six-month amendment to extend Agreement #A-2021-096 with City Net through December 31, 2022. C. On December 6, 2022, the Parties entered into Agreement #A-2022-240 for said services for a one (1) year term through December 31, 2023, consistent with the requirements and terms of the RFP. C. City seeks a Contractor which is qualified by experience, preparation, organization, staffing and management to operate programs on behalf of homeless individuals and is familiar with existing homeless services in the City. The City finds that the pilot program, along with the engagement for 2023 with CityNet, was successful.

D. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Contractor represents that it is knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Contractor under this Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be expected from a professional firm in the field.
