1) Make findings pursuant to Section 3.13.030 (C) of the El Dorado County Ordinance Chapter 13, Contracting Out, that due to the limited timeframes and temporary or occasional nature of the work involved in as-needed after-hours emergency telephone answering services provided by Inland Southern California 211+ (ISC211+), the ongoing aggregate of work to be performed is not sufficient to warrant the addition of permanent staff;
2) Make findings in accordance with Procurement Policy C-17 Section 3.4(2f) to exempt Agreement for Services 10028 and 10068 from the competitive bidding process, 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”;
