Report
Summary
The contract provides background screening services for contractors that need access to Water Services Department facilities or infrastructure. The six-month extension will allow sufficient time to complete the competitive process and award a multi-year replacement contract for this service.
Contract Term
The term of the contract amendment will be for six months and the contract will be extended from July 1, 2019 through Dec. 31, 2019.
Financial Impact

An amendment to this contract extended the term by one year and increased the total contract by $218,000 to include the Human Services and Public Works departments. This amendment will extend the contract term by six months and increase the total contract by $40,000, for a new total fee not to exceed $483,000.
