RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a Products and Services Agreement and associated schedules with Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $800,000, for the purchase and lease of SCRAMx alcohol monitoring systems, monitoring services and hosted software, for the term of November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$800,000; Program fees are collected from individuals based on their ability to pay.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff has been utilizing SCRAM and Remote Breath Alcohol monitor devices for offenders who commit alcohol related offenses since 2009. Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc., has been providing sales, leasing, on-going warranty and on-line monitoring of SCRAM and Remote Breath Alcohol monitor devices. Alcohol monitoring programs are utilized for both sentenced and pre-trial release offenders. The use of alcohol monitoring equipment helps reduces the jail population and cost savings associated with housing offenders in-custody. The fee collected from participants are based on individual’s ability to pay and the fees help offset the cost of monitoring. The alcohol monitoring program also plays a key role in helping offender complete their court ordered commitment and allowing them to re-enter the community in a timely manner. Approval of the Products and Services Agreement documents the vendor’s obligations to provide the described products and services to the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Replacement cost for potential loss to monitoring equipment due to intentional damage and/or absconders discarding equipment.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
