FROM: GARY T. .YANCEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY Contra
Costa
DATE: July 1, 1996
County
SUBJECT: Purchase Order Contract, Genetic Testing on Paternity Cases in
the District Attorney, Family Support Division
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Services Officer to increase the
existing purchase order contract with Genetic Design by $20, 000 for a
total annual contract amount of $45, 000 . The contract covers the
genetic testing in paternity cases handled by the District Attorney,
Family Support Division.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. There is no net county cost associated with the approval of
this request. The total cost is covered by 66% Federal Funding and
34% SEIF (Support Enforcement Incentive Funding) .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The District Attorney' s Family Support Division is empowered to enter
into contracts with private organizations as necessary to carry out
the responsibilities imposed by the State plan for determining
paternity and securing support.
As the Family Support caseload increases year to year, the paternity
cases also increase. Genetic Design, Inc. has been providing the
genetic testing for the Family Support Division.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request would hamper the District Attorney's
Family Support Division in its attempt to pass federal audit. Such
inability to pass the audit would ultimately generate a positive net
county cost for the Family Support Program.
The District Attorney' s Family Support Division would be unable to
provide this much needed service to the Children of Contra Costa
County.
