Sheriff's Office recommending the Board: 1) Make findings that it is appropriate to engage an independent contractor to provide selected pathology and related services, as Agreement 2402 can be more economically and feasibly performed by independent contractors than County employees in accordance with Ordinance 3.13.030(A); 2) Make findings in accordance with Procurement Policy C-17 Section 3.4(2.f) to exempt Agreement 2402 from the competitive bidding process, with Purchasing Agent concurrence, because the continuity of providers will provide efficiency or critical knowledge, and other providers cannot provide similar efficiencies or critical knowledge; and 3) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute Amendment V to Agreement 2402 with Michael C. Berry, M.D., to provide selected pathology and related services in Placerville and South Lake Tahoe for the Sheriff's Coroner Division, increasing the amount by $1,000,000 to $3,600,000, and extending the term of the Agreement by a year for a revised termination date of December 31, 2027.
