FROM: Mark Finucane, Health Services Director ontra
By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administr Costa
DATE: November 30, 1992 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #22-379-1
with Community Alert Network
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute on
behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #22-379-1 to amend
Standard Contract #22-379 with Community Alert Network, an operating
division of Automated Communications, Incorporated, effective October 1,
1992, to modify the Contract Payment Provisions, with no change in the
payment limit of the Contract.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Amendment modifies the Contract Payment Provisions only, and does
not change the Contract Payment Limit of $321,779 for the five-year term
of the Contract.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On May 7, 1991, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Contract #22-
379 with Community Alert Network, an operating division of Automated
Communications, Incorporated, for the period from July 1, 1991 through
June 30, 1996, for provision of emergency community notification
services.
One of the services which the Contractor provides is computer line '
calling for which the Contractor charges the County $60. 00 per hour.
The use of this service is linked to emergency response situations
wherein the number of calls needed to inform the public of a danger or
impending danger is unknown. Because this is a newly contracted service
with no history, at the time the Contract was negotiated, a $5, 000
payment limit for this service seemed reasonable 'and was, therefore,
included in the Contract Payment Provisions. However, two major
incidents, happening fairly close together, demonstrated the need to
have some flexibility in the Contract Payment Provisions, while not
exceeding the Contract Payment Limit.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #22-379-1 will remove the
arbitrary payment limit from the computer line calling services and
allow the Contractor to provide additional calling time as requested by
the County when emergencies arise.
