Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board approve and authorize the continuation of the perpetual Subscription Agreement 5815 with Lexipol, LLC (previously named Cordico Inc.) for wellness app software for an annual subscription fee of $30,000 for a one-year term from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Cordico Inc. developed a customized mobile wellness app for iPhone (iOS) and Android phones based on image files and contact information provided by the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office for use by deputies, correctional officers, and professional staff. The app contains a variety of content and features including nutrition, injury prevention, wellness self-assessment tools, work-life balance, stress management and response, suicide prevention, posttraumatic stress, and other personal and professional development services.
In 2020, Cordico Inc. was acquired by Lexipol, LLC. In September 2022, Lexipol, LLC notified customers that Cordico Inc. was to be consolidated under Lexipol, LLC.
On November 5th, 2024, with Legistar file 24-0686, Amendment I to agreement 5815 was completed and approved by the Board to change the vendor’s name from Cordico Inc. to Lexipol LLC.
The importance of such an app cannot be understated given the conditions that law enforcement personnel face on a daily basis around our nation. As a pro-active measure by the Sheriff’s Office, this subscription provides the help necessary to enhance the well-being and provide support to our law enforcement personnel both on the job and at-home.
Since Board Policy C-17 requires departments to obtain authorization from the Board of Supervisors to utilize any contract that does not have a stated contract term on an annual basis, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting that this contract with Cordico Inc., with the annual compensation rate of $30,000 continue for another annual term.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to renew this perpetual agreement.
