RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners, in the amount of $1,000,000 for the period of August 1, 2021 through August 30, 2022, to provide standard crime scene and biological cleaning services, and specialized cleaning services to combat the spread of COVID-19.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund. The FY 21/22 cost is approximately $900,000, but will largely depend on the number of actual service callouts and assumes current COVID-19 precautions stay in place. This expense is not currently budgeted, but additional appropriations are not expected to be needed at this time. The Department will continue to monitor the budget and will return to the Board of Supervisors in the event additional appropriations are needed.










BACKGROUND:

The cleaning of blood and bodily fluids requires extensive training and experience to avoid contamination and health risks. The Sheriff's Office has contracted with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners since 2019 for full service crime scene and biological cleaning. They have serviced the detention facilities, patrol station houses and vehicles. In addition to the standard cleaning services, Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners has also provided increased sanitation measures at the Sheriff's facilities. Due to the continued risk of COVID-19, and with the elimination of the County's Emergency COVID Funds, the Sheriff's Office deems it necessary to continue the contract with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners for the foreseeable future.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will be unable to acquire the appropriate level of cleaning and sanitation services.
