Bates Avenue in Concord, will be to be outfitted and supplied by that date. Due to a very short turn around period, the
Employment and Human Services Department is requesting blanket authority to allow the Purchasing Agent to
execute up to seven purchase orders over $100,000 without returning to the Board of Supervisors for individual
approval, thereby expediting the process. These purchase orders will allow the Purchasing Agent to obtain furniture,
equipment and supplies necessary to make the Contra Costa County Covered California Call Center operational.
The County Administrator's Office will monitor and track these purchase orders to ensure that this authority is not
exceeded.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Contra Costa County Covered California Call Center will not be able to purchase and install equipment
necessary for its operation in a timely manner.
