RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Behavioral Interventions (B.I.), Incorporated in the amount of $350,000 to provide electronic monitoring equipment for the period February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for electronic monitoring services is included in the Probation Department's annual budget and partially offset by participant fees.

BACKGROUND:

In January 2012 the Purchasing Division of the General Services Department completed a bid process for electronic monitoring equipment on behalf of the Probation Department. The recommended vendor to provide the best combination of price, service and equipment was Behavioral Interventions (B.I.) , Incorporated. The Probation Department has been pleased with the service provided by B.I. and would like to renew the contract for a two year period.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Probation Department will not have an active contract with a vendor for the electronic monitoring of certain probationers.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
