Honorable Board of Supervisors
Administration Building
Oakland, CA 94612
Dear Board Members:
SUBJECT:
Approval for California State Association of Counties (CSAC)
CalWIN Agreement Renewal for FY 2014-2015
RECOMMENDATION:
In order to continue Alameda County’s participation with CSAC to support the Welfare
Client Data Systems (WCDS)/CalWORKS Information Network (CalWIN) consortium, it is
recommended that your Board:

Authorize the President of the Board to sign the agreement with the California State
Association of Counties, Procurement No. 10387 (Principal: Kelli Oropeza, CSAC
Controller, Sacramento, CA), for the service period of July 1, 2014 through June 30,
2015, in the amount of $153,112 for Alameda County’s continued participation with
CSAC in support of the WCDS/CalWIN consortium.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
CSAC provides skilled staff and resources for coordination of the eighteen-county
WCDS/CalWIN consortium, communication with State Department of Social Services staff, and
management of WCDS/CalWIN vendor services. CalWIN is the existing computer system in 18
counties with an automated eligibility system to determine eligibility, issue benefits, track cases,
individuals, and employment services for CalWORKS, Food Stamps, General Assistance, and
Medi-Cal applicants and recipients. Alameda County implemented CalWIN on December 5,
2005 and the renewal of this contract is part of the continuing implementation of the CALWIN
project with the eighteen-county consortium. Additionally, this Agreement, while not the
County’s standard agreement, is the format proposed by CSAC that allows for all eighteen
CalWIN consortium counties members to have uniform documents, and therefore still requires
Board President’s signature.
