RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with K&H Printers-Lithographers, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $1,200,000 from $6,000,000 to a new payment limit of $7,200,000 to provide printed ballots, mailing services, and other election materials, with no change to the contract term of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The increase is funded within the Elections Division budget in fiscal year 2021-22. Additionally, the full cost of the Elections Division's conduct of the 2021 Statewide Gubernatorial Recall Election is reimbursable by the State.

BACKGROUND:

California Administrative Code, Title 2, Division 7, Section 20220 provides that printers must be certified by the Secretary of State's Office in order to print ballots for a particular voting system. K&H Printers-Lithographers, Inc., is a certified printer for our election ballot tabulation system. K&H Printers-Lithographers, Inc., has successfully provided printed ballots, mailing services, and other election materials to Contra Costa since November 2013.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Elections Division will be unable to conduct the Statewide Gubernatorial Recall Election without K&H Printers-Lithographers, Inc. providing printed ballots, mailing services, and production of other election materials.
