FROM: RICHARD K. RAINEY ,Co",,�}tr,a
Sheriff-Coroner. . C�IJ�ICI
DATE: July 10, 1989 CO R'+�'�/
SUBJECT: PRISONER TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT WITH LOS ANGELES "� �`�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND Alm JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Chairperson to execute agreement with Los Angeles County Sheriff' s Office for
transportation of inmates at a cost of .08¢ per mile plus meals for the period of July
1 , 1989 to June 30, 1994.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Estimated cost for fiscal 1989794 is $12,000. If Contra Costa provided this service
directly, it would cost between $50,000-$100,000 per year. During the past four (4)
years , the expense incurred has been between $2,500 and $3,000 per year.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
During the past four years , Contra Costa has had a contract with the County of Los
Angeles which reimburses that County for the transportation of prisoners . This
contract expires July 30, 1989. The Los Angeles County Sheriff' s Department operates a
bus up and down the Interstate 5 corridor which transports Contra Costa prisoners from
Los Angeles to this County and the Los Angeles prisoners from this County to Los
Angeles County. Without this agreement, vie would be obligated to go to Los Angeles and
pick up our own prisoners at an estimated annual cost of $50,000-$100,000. Since Los
Angeles County has a large number of prisoners to be picked up from around the State ,
they have found it more cost effective to operate their own bus service, which turns out
also to be cost effective for the other participating counties . The proposed contract
would continue the agreement for another four years ending June 30, 1994. The annual
mileage cost would be adjustable annually.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this agreement will result in a significant expenditure of funds for
transportation of inmates either by private contractor, on an as-needed basis , or the
expenditure of costs associated with salary and benefits of two officers, and the
purchase and maintenance of a suitable vehicle dedicated to this purpose.
