Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Sheriff's Office (SO) recommends the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign Amendment I to Agreement 376-S1610 with Cordico Psychological Corporation to add the District Attorney’s Office (DA) to the Agreement, increase the not to exceed amount and replace Exhibit A with Exhibit A-1.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On April 05, 2016 the SO and the Probation Department entered into Agreement 376-S1610 with Cordico Psychological Corporation for Psychological Fitness exams for employment candidates with a term of April 05, 2016 thru April 04, 2019.
The DA requested to be added to this contract after the vendor that had been providing these services announced retirement effective November 01, 2016. This Amendment will add the DA to the contract, increase the not to exceed amount in order to cover costs for the SO, Probation and the DA, as well as update Exhibit A with Exhibit A-1 due to changes in Government code making the prior Exhibit A out of date.
The original contract was not taken to Board due to the not to exceed amount being within the Purchasing Agent’s Contract Authority. This amendment will bring the not to exceed amount above the Purchasing Agent’s Authority and requires Board approval.
