HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09232014 - C.60RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to execute a contract with Tricor America, Inc., in
an amount not to exceed $240,000 for interlibrary courier services, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the County General Fund. The annual cost is appropriated in the Library's budget.
BACKGROUND:
County Costa County Library participates in an interlibrary loan service through a cooperative partnership with other
libraries in California and Nevada, known as LINK+. As part of their responsibilities, the LINK+ Executive
Committee negotiates a delivery service agreement with a dedicated courier service. Each LINK+ member
institution, then individually contracts with that courier, under the terms negotiated on our behalf. Delivery service
takes place Monday thru Friday, with one stop per day to drop off incoming shipments and pick up outgoing
shipments. The LINK+ service depends on all member institutions to actively participate in this deliver schedule, as
we depend on each other to supply the library materials that our local patrons have requested, and to return items to
the owning institution by the due date.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Contra Costa County Library will not participate in the interlibrary loan program resulting in decreased customer
satisfaction.
