On July 2, 2015, the County Department of Information Technology's (DoIT) Telecommunications Division executed an agreement with City of Brentwood to provide radio communication services at the hourly labor rate of $148.00 through June 30, 2017. On May 26, 2017, the Parties executed Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement to decrease the hourly labor rate to $128.00 and extend the term through June 30, 2018. Under this Amendment No. 2, the term is being extended through June 30, 2020, and the Parties have agreed to a new scope of work, allowing the County the right to, on an annual basis, adjust the hourly rates it charges City for radio services based on its costs to provide the Services, and will notify City in writing of any change in the hourly rate for subsequent fiscal years (July 1 to June 30), and City shall either: (i) countersign the COUNTY correspondence indicating agreement with the increased hourly rate set forth therein, or (ii) provide COUNTY with a notice of termination under Section 9 (Termination) of the Agreement.
The County has provided such services to the City of Brentwood since 2013.
In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 104, no action shall be taken to initiate new or expanded programs or projects (such as providing services to another governmental entity for a fee) unless approved by the Board of Supervisors in advance. The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.
A decision to not approve the recommendation will diminish revenue for the radio division, which could increase labor rates.
