RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract with Consolidated Printers, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 to provide printed sample ballots, mailing services, and other election materials for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The payment limit of $2,000,000 is funded within the Election Division budget. A portion of the cost is reimbursable by those agencies for whom the County conducts elections.
BACKGROUND:
California Administrative Code, Title 2, Division 7, Section 20220 provides that printers must be certified by the Secretary of State's Office in order to print official ballots for a particular voting system. Consolidated Printers, Inc., is a certified printer for our election ballot tabulation system. While such certification is not required for the printing and mailing of sample ballots, the certification signifies a knowledge and understanding of the importance of timeliness and accuracy to elections. Consolidated Printers has successfully provided these services since 2013, when they were selected through a competitive bid process.
