Question 2

How do I win a contract with Town of Avalon?

Accepted Answer

Small purchases under GA's simplified acquisition threshold can be awarded directly — no formal bidding required. Recent meeting discussions at Town of Avalon include exclusively for the Avalon Municipal Hospital and Clinic.

The agreement outlines that CIMC must use the funds received through this program for services to Medi-Cal members and cannot use them to pay back the City directly. Instead, the City will recoup the funds from Measure C allocations to CIMC, as well as other permissible CIMC revenues. The advance by the City to CIMC will be paid back over approximately 18 months, during which time the City would offset payments to CIMC under Measure C. If Measure C funds are insufficient, CIMC will repay the remaining amount through other available revenues. Key terms of the CIMC advance payment agreement include an advance amount not to exceed $1,106,450 (potentially adjusted after DHCS reconciliation), Measure C Funds and other CIMC revenues as the source of repayment, and an 18-month repayment term.

The agreement also includes several administrative and financial safeguards. CIMC will pay a City Administrative Fee equal to 4.5% of the total amount advanced, plus 2.25% of the outstanding amount after one year. The hospital is also responsible for the City's attorneys’ fees related to the advance payment. Repayment of 100% of the advance amount will commence at the end of the first quarter after the City's funding or April 1, 2026, with the balance due from operating funds by the end of the term. Covenants include prohibiting the sale of the hospital or changes in ownership without City consent, and requiring monthly meetings between City and hospital management. Financial reporting requirements include audited financial statements and monthly or quarterly financial statements. The city manager of the City (or his/her designee) is required to meet with the management of the Medical Center on a monthly basis to discuss and update the City regarding the status of any future plans for the Medical Facility.

The council's action is contingent upon several factors, including the execution of the IGT Agreement with DHCS by August 1, 2025, and the transfer of the IGT amount to DHCS by November 21, 2025. Consequences of not approving the recommended action include the hospital not receiving fee increases from the L.A. Care Plan and needing to seek funds from other sources. The email from Leeann Habte at Best, Best & Krieger law firm emphasizes the urgency of signing the CY 2024 VRRP IGT Agreement by August 1, 2025, and mentions the Welfare and Institutions Code sections authorizing the Rate Range Program. It also references the Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Transfer of Public Funds document detailing the contribution amounts by rate category for the Rating Period CY 2024., Avalon Planning Commission Reviews Rentals & Approves Ice Cream Shop, and City of Avalon Council Meeting: Key Approvals and Financial Overview, suggesting active spending in these areas. The key is timing: reach the right department head while they're still scoping the project, not after the RFP is already live. Monitoring what agencies are discussing and spending on helps you start conversations before the competition.
