RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Corporation of Delaware, in an amount not to exceed $18,900 to provide genetic parentage testing services for clients of the Children and Family Services Bureau for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract will increase the department budget expenditures by $18,900 to be funded by 30% County Funds and 70% State 2011 Realignment funds, all of which is already budgeted in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24.

BACKGROUND:

Since July 1, 2019, the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS) has been required to take on genetic testing contracting responsibilities as a result of a California Department of Social Services (CDSS) mandate. The Contractor provides genetic parentage testing for CFS clients to evaluate paternity in court ordered cases. The services provided under the Contract are court ordered and require an active provider to handle service delivery for clients. This Contract includes modified indemnification and insurance language, which were approved by Risk Management.  

The contractor has been providing the services to the County since July 1, 2019 with the initial contract for FY 19-20 approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 10, 2019 (C. 81). The Board of Supervisors approved the first renewal contract for FY 20-21 on June 23, 2020 (C. 41), and the second renewal contract for FY 21-22 on June 22, 2021 (C. 95). This new Board Order is for the third renewal contract for FY 22-24.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

County will not be able to comply with court-ordered genetic testing of CFS clients.
