RECOMMENDATIONS: I
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Child Support Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract I
amendment with Laboratory Corporation of America to increase the payment limit by$1,952 to a new payment
limit of$41,952. The contract effective dates of July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 will remain the same. I
I
FINANCIAL IWACT:
The cost of this Contract is budgeted within the State's allocation to Child Support Services. There will be no
impact on the General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECON NIIENDATIONSBACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services is empowered to enter into contracts with private organizations, as
necessary, to carry out the responsibilities imposed by the State plan for securing support for children and
families.
Determination of paternity is a vital element in most child support obligation cases and DCSS has contracted j
with LabCorp since July,1, 2001 for the required testing procedures necessary to fulfill this need. LabCorp
continues to be the solitary,vendor to meet all of our requirements in this area, while being able to reduce their I
cost to us in each of the past 3 years.
Actual expenses for the contract period exceeded the estimated total expense by$1,952 and the Auditor's
Office requires a contract amendment to pay the overage. j
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
I
Failure to approve this request would restrict the Department of Child Support Services' ability to collect child
support for the children of Contra Costa County. j
