Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In accordance with Board Policy C-17, departments are required 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 has Board-approved contracts with the above referenced companies for consumer reporting information for background investigations, for maintenance of a latent finger print reader, and radio tower space leasing which do not have a stated contract term, and is recommending the Board authorize the continued use of these agreements for FY 2020-21.
Trans Union LLC
Trans Union LLC provides Consumer Report Information to background investigators in the Sheriff’s Office. These reports provide an unbiased account of a potential employee’s financial background information. The contract has approximately $22,000 remaining, and the Sheriff’s Office annual expense is approximately $260. As a result, this request is to simply approve the extension through November 1, 2021, with no additional funding for Agreement # 874-S0910.
NEC Corporation
On January 17, 2014, the Board signed perpetual Maintenance Agreement No. 184-O1410 with NEC Corporation of America for maintenance of a Latent Finger Print Reader for the term August 5, 2013 to August 4, 2014. This request is to continue that Agreement for another successive year term to August 4, 2021, and increase Agreement # 360 in the amount of $5,000 plus special maintenance service charges on an as needed basis.
Global Tower Assets III, LLC
On November 1, 1999, the Board signed perpetual Agreement # 356-O0010 with Spectrum Resources Towers, L.P, for lease of radio tower space for the Sheriff’s Communications Unit. The company name has been changed over the years, and the current name is Global Tower Assets III, LLC. This request is to continue the Agreement for another successive year term to October 31, 2021, and increase the Agreement by $7,500 for annual rent.
