RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Risk Management to execute a contract amendment with BSI EHS Services and Solutions to increase the payment limit by $508,600 to a new total payment limit of $1,727,400 for additional Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) compliance support during the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Additional cost of $508,600 will be paid through the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund.

BACKGROUND:

BSI EHS Services and Solutions assists in dealing with Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) compliance inspections and responses on behalf of all County departments. Since the inception of this contract, additional services have been needed for Public Works asbestos sampling, Contra Costa Fire asbestos sampling, ADA pubic access compliance and the desktop alert emergency notification system.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to ensure OSHA and CalOSHA compliance.
