RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to enter into a contract amendment with Behavioral Interventions, Inc. increasing the payment limit by $191,000 from $342,600 to a new payment limit of $533,600 and expand the scope of services to include electronic home detention equipment with cellular connect-ability with no change to the contract term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County Costs, 100% Participant fees.

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2007 the Board of Supervisors authorized the Sheriff-Coroner to enter into a contract with Behavioral Interventions, Inc. (Item C.155) in an amount not to exceed $310,600 for electronic home detention (EHD) monitoring services for the period June 25, 2007 through June 30, 2010. Since that time, the Board has authorized the Sheriff-Coroner to amend the contract on two occasions; once on July 8, 2008 (Item C.92) increasing the payment limit by $32,000 to $342,600 and adding new products to the list of available EHD systems and once on April 21, 2009 (Item C.60) adding new products to the list of available EHD systems.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Due to the increase in the number of inmates participating in the Electronic Home Detention Program, the Sheriff-Coroner is requesting a third amendment increasing the payment limit by $191,000 to a new payment limit of $533,600. In addition the proposed amendment would add the HomeGuard Digital Cell Unit (HG206) to the EHD systems available to the department through this contract. Currently, a land-line must be used in conjunction with EHD equipment; however, increased use of cellular phones has resulted in the need for more contemporary EHD systems. The equipment described above will allow the department more flexibility in EHD monitoring options. Two spare units will be provided at no charge.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action will result in the Sheriff’s Office having to put inmates on active global positioning system monitoring at a higher unit cost or keep inmates in physical custody at a substantial County expense.
