RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract amendment effective December 18, 2018 with Consolidated Printing, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $1,500,000 to a new payment limit of $5,500,000 for printing and mailing sample ballot materials, with no change to the term ending December 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost is 100% County General Fund, with a portion of the increase reimbursed by the districts for whom the Elections Division conducts elections.
BACKGROUND:
The increase in payment limit is needed because the addition of Chinese as a mandated language combined with the number and length of ballot measures in 2018 considerably increased the cost of the production and delivery of voting information and materials.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will be unable to pay for printing services incurred in the conduct of state and federally mandated elections.
