RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Rotorcraft Support, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 for helicopter maintenance services for the period September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,500,000; budgeted. These expenditures are covered by a combination of agency user fees, annual SLESF (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund) allocation, and P-6 Zone revenue.

BACKGROUND:

Rotorcraft Support, Inc., will provide maintenance services 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:

Should the Board of Supervisors decide to disapprove this contract, the continuation of the helicopter program will require the County to contract for maintenance services at additional cost.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
