RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Rotorcraft Support, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $1,000,000 from $500,000 to a new total contract payment limit of $1,500,000 for helicopter maintenance, repairs and law enforcement enhancements with no change in term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,500,000; budgeted. These expenditures are covered by a combination of agency user fees, annual SLESF (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund) allocation, and P-6 Zone revenue.

BACKGROUND:

Rotorcraft Support, Inc., provides maintenance services for the Sheriff’s helicopters. The helicopter program is an integral element of effective law enforcement operations, providing enhanced patrol, surveillance, and search and rescue capabilities. Continuation of the helicopter program hinges on the services provided under this contract. Costs associated with this contract are partially offset by revenue generated by neighboring jurisdictions contracting for helicopter services and indirectly offset by State of California Department of Boating and Waterways grant funding. The increase need for additional funding is due to law enforcement enhancements for the new helicopter.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board of Supervisors decide to disapprove the amendment of the contract, the continuation of the helicopter program will require the County to contract for maintenance, repair and enhancement services at additional cost.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
