RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Human Resources Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Biometrics4ALL, Inc. from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $495,000, to provide technology services to facilitate fingerprinting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this contract is borne by the hiring departments that utilize the services.

BACKGROUND:

In 2020, the County approved a contract with Biometrics4ALL, Inc. to provide a technology service platform via ApplicantServices.com that facilitates and streamlines social distancing fingerprinting services to new hire candidates. The platform allows candidates to directly schedule appointments at various locations throughout the State of California. Biometrics4All, Inc. collects and retains all completed live scan applications on behalf of the County per the Department of Justice (DOJ) legal requirements for a period of one (1) year. The pandemic is not over and there is currently an increase in COVID-19 cases. The service provided by Biometrics4All not only takes the health and safety of the public and County staff into consideration, but it also brings efficiency and convenience to applicants requiring fingerprinting services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, the County will be unable to offer the fingerprinting and related services offered by Biometrics4All, Inc. for new hires candidates.
