CO
DATE: September 27, 1989 County
SUBJECT: Contract Agreement for Blood Withdrawal Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner to execute on behalf of the
County a contract with Rosanne Beebe dba Blood Alcohol Determinants in
the amount of $90,000 for the period December 1, 1989 - November 30, 1990
for the provision of blood withdrawal services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The funding for .this contract is a continuing budget item in the Driver
Alcohol Program budget of the Sheriff's Department for the fiscal year
1989-90. Approximately $50,000 of the cost will be reimbursed to the
Driver Alcohol Program budget by the City police agencies within the
County who also use this service. Any part of the contract which is not
reimbursed by the Cities will be paid for by fines collected from drinking
drivers.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Execution of this contract renewal provides a continuing mechanism for
police officers to obtain blood samples from persons suspected of driving
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and from suspects in major
crimes. The blood samples are essential evidence in the continuing
prosecution of these types of crime.
The implementation of Driver Alcohol Testing by the Sheriff-Coroner
Department in 1980 resulted in the elimination of blood withdrawal services
by local private laboratories. Since 1980, the County has contracted for
this service and made it available to other law enforcement agencies. The
Cities reimburse the County for blood withdrawal from suspects in crimes
other than driving under the influence. The balance of the contract is
paid with fines collected for driver alcohol testing pursuant to Penal
Code Section 1463.14.
