Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board approve and authorize the continuation of the perpetual Subscription Agreement 5815 with Cordico Inc. for wellness app software for an annual subscription fee of $30,000 for a one-year term from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
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.
Cordico Inc., has developed a customized mobile wellness app for iPhone (iOS) and Android phones based on image files and contact information provided by the Sheriff’s Office for use by deputies. The app contains a variety of content and features generally including nutrition, injury prevention, wellness self-assessment tools, work-life balance, stress management and response, suicide prevention, post-traumatic stress, and other personal and professional development services.
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.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to renew this perpetual agreement.
