Background: Several departments have needs for Process Service and have, in the past, separately contracted with Legalese Attorney Services, Inc. for these services. The Procurement and Contracts Division identified the opportunity to implement a single Agreement for these services that can be used by departments County-wide.
Reason for Recommendation: In accordance with Chapter 3.13 of the County Ordinance, the Board is being asked to make findings that the work can more economically and feasibly be performed by an independent contractor as there is not sufficient staff available to perform these services that are necessary on an "as requested" basis.
The Purchasing Agent is recommending a one-year agreement based on the evaluation of the requesting departments that the vendor has provided satisfactory service. However, the Procurement and Contracts Division will engage in a competitive selection process with the intent to solicit multiple "as needed" process service contracts that can be used on a County-wide basis prior to the expiration of this agreement.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Forward one original of the executed Agreement for Services #216-S0911 to Procurement and Contracts for distribution and encumbrance.
