RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Department, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Kroll Laboratory Specialists, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $103,000 to a new payment limit of $328,000 for continued substance abuse testing servies, for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$328,000: 23% County Funds; 77% State Funds

BACKGROUND:

Random substance abuse testing and Sweat Patch testing are court-required services and are ordered as part of the client service plan. Laboratory results are submitted for inclusion in the Court Hearing(s) on Child Welfare Family Maintenance and Reunification cases. Services include ensuring the availability of specimen collection sites in West, Central, and East regions of the County, screening test specimens using three different laboratory test systems, providing “on-demand” sample testing when requested by the County’s Employment and Human Services Social Worker, and providing monthly statistics for clients referred to substance abuse testing.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This amendment serves to increase the payment limit as a result of more clients than originally anticipated under court order to undergo substance abuse testing.
