RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Advanced Helicopter Services, Inc., to add installation services in addition to helicopter maintenance services and disallow sales mark ups on purchases related to grants, effective April 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022. There are no other changes to the contract.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for the amended services.

BACKGROUND:

Advanced Helicopter Services, Inc., will provide maintenance and support services, including new installations, for the Sheriff's helicopters. The helicopter program is an integral element of effective law enforcement operations, providing enhanced patrol, surveillance, and search and rescue capabilities. Continuation of the helicopter program hinges on the services provided under this contract. Costs associated with this contract are partially offset by revenue generated by neighboring jurisdictions contracting for helicopter services and indirectly offset by State of California Department of Boating and Waterways grant funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board of Supervisors disapprove this vendor contract amendment, the Sheriff's Office will not be able to execute grant related projects in a timely and efficient manner, incurring additional costs and potentially losing grant funds.
