HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04222014 - C.72RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Clerk Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract with K & H
Printing-Lithographers, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 to provide printed ballots, mailing services, and
other election materials for the period March 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract total is $1,200,000 and is funded within the Election Division budget over fiscal years 2013-2014 and
2014-2015. A portion of the cost is reimbursable by those agencies for whom we conduct elections.
BACKGROUND:
California Administrative Code, Title 2, Division 7, Section 20220 provides that printers must be certified by the
Secretary of State's Office in order to print ballots for a particular voting system. K & H Printing-Lithographers, Inc.,
is a certified printer for our election ballot tabulation system. K & H successfully provided similar services under a
one-time contract for the November 2013 Election.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Accurate and timely printing and mailing of election ballots and related material are critical components of
conducting successful elections. Failure to accurately print or distribute election materials could jeopardize our
mandated function to conduct elections in a fair and accurate manner. An error or omission could force the
department to conduct an election over again at a substantial cost to the County.
