Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board approve and authorize the continuation of the perpetual Subscription Agreement 5815 with Cordico Inc. for wellness app software for an approximate annual subscription fee of $30,000 for a one-year term from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Cordico Inc., has developed a customized mobile wellness app for iPhone and Android phones based on image files and contact information provided by the El Dorado Sheriff’s Office (EDSO) for use by deputies. The app contains a variety of content and features generally including nutrition, injury prevention, wellness self-assessment tools, work-life balance, stress management and response, suicide prevention, post-traumatic stress, and other personal and professional development services.
The importance of such an app cannot be understated given the conditions that law enforcement personnel face on a daily basis around our nation. As a pro-active measure by the EDSO, this subscription provides the help necessary to enhance the well-being and provides support to our law enforcement personnel both on the job and at-home.
Since Board Policy C-17 requires departments 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 is requesting that this contract with Cordico Inc., and the annual compensation rate of $30,000 continue for another annual term.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to direct staff to use another vendor, however, the continuity of provider provides efficiencies to the County.
