SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract Bristow Academy
Incorporated for helicopter services in an amount up to $400,000 for the period of July 1, 2007 through June 30,
2008.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
100% County costs: $400,000. Budgeted.
BACKGROUND:
Bristow Academy Inc., formerly Helicopter Adventures Inc., provides pilots, maintenance, and repair for the
Sheriffs Office helicopter program. The helicopter program is an integral element of effective law enforcement
operations, providing enhanced patrol, surveillance, and search and rescue capabilities. Continuation of the
helicopter program hinges on the services provided under this contract. Costs associated with this contract are
partially offset by revenue generated by neighboring jurisdictions contracting for helicopter services and
indirectly offset by State of California Department of Boating and Waterways grant funding.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Supervisors decide to disapprove this contract, the continuation of the helicopter program
will require the County hire pilots, mechanics, tools and equipment, and lease hangar space at additional cost.
