Title

Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Contract 136301, with Quick Acquisition, LLC, to extend background screening services for one year and add funds not to exceed $218,000 over the life of the extension. Further request authorization for City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
Report
Summary
The contract provides background screening of potential contracted employees, and analyzes the results to determine if the potential employee’s history falls within acceptable parameters of the City. Interruption of these critical services would be detrimental to operations. The extension will allow the City the required time to complete a competitive citywide, multi-year solicitation for contract award.
Financial Impact
The contract's value will increase to a total of $443,000 with this additional amount. Funds are available in the Water Services and Public Works departments' operating budgets.

Contract 136301 was awarded by Formal Council Action on June 5, 2013, with an original aggregate value of $225,000 for five years and an ending date of June 30, 2018.
