RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Phamatech, Incorporated in the amount not to exceed $237,600 for Child Welfare mandated drug testing services for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. (County: 30%, State: 70%)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$237,600.00: 30% County, 70% State

BACKGROUND:

Random drug tests are court-ordered services and are ordered as a part of the client service plan. Laboratory results are submitted for inclusion in the Child Welfare Family Maintenance and Reunification cases. Services include insuring the availability of specimen collection sites, screening test specimens, providing "on-demand" sample testing when requested by the County's Employment and Human Services Department social workers, and providing monthly statistics to EHSD for clients referred for drug testing.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this service, the Employment and Human Services Department would be unable to comply with court-ordered drug testing.
