Title
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) recommending the Board:
1) Make findings pursuant to Section 3.13.030 (B) of the El Dorado County Ordinance Chapter 3.13, Contracting Out, that it is appropriate to contract with Koefran Industries (Koefran) for the provision of animal carcass, hazardous waste carcass, and associated medical/biohazardous waste disposal services for Animal Services, as these specialty skills and qualifications not expressly identified in County classifications are involved in the performance of the work;
2) Make findings in accordance with Procurement Policy C-17 Section 3.4(2f) exempting the competitive bidding process with Koefran, with Purchasing Agent concurrence, because “the procurement is for services where the continuity of providers will provide efficiency or critical knowledge, and other providers of the services cannot provide similar efficiencies or critical knowledge” and due to Koefran being the only local vendor capable of servicing all of El Dorado County for the animal carcass rendering services required, therefore it is not possible to obtain competitive bids;
3) Approve and authorize the Chair to sign Agreement 8916 with Koefran in the amount of $135,000 and for the term of three years from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027;
4) Authorize the Purchase Agent to execute further documents relating to Agreement 8916, contingent upon approval by County Counsel and Risk Management, including amendments which do not increase the maximum dollar amount or term of the Agreement; and
5) Authorize the HHSA Director, or the Chief Assistant Director, to execute programmatic, administrative, and fiscal documents relating to Agreement 8916.
FUNDING: 9% Realignment, 20% City Revenue, 4% generated from Permits and License fees, 7% Miscellaneous Revenue, 4% fee for service, and 56% General Fund.
