FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: May 28, 1985 County
SUBJECT: PRISONER TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY 1
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Chairwoman to execute agreement with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office for
transportation of inmates at a cost of .08� per mile plus meals for the period July 1, 1985
to June 30, 1989.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Estimated cost for fiscal year 1985-86 is $3,000. If Contra Costa provided this service
directly, it would cost between $50,000-$100,000 per year. During the past four (4)
years, the expense incurred has been between $1,700/year and $2,500/year.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
During the past four years, Contra Costa has had a contract with the County of Los Angeles
which reimburses that County for the transportation Of prisoners. This contract expires
June 30, 1985. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates a bus up and down the
Interstate 5 corridor which transports Contra Costa prisoners from Los Angeles to this
County and the Los Angeles prisoners from this County to Los Angeles County. Without this
agreement, we would be obligated to go to Los Angeles and pick up our own prisoners at an
estimated annual cost of $50,000-$100,000. Since Los Angeles County has a large number of
prisoners to be picked up from around the State, they have found it more cost effective to
operate their awn bus service, which turns out also to be cost effective for the Other
participating counties. The proposed contract would continue the agreement for another
four years ending June 30, 1989. The annual mileage cost would be adjustable annually.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this agreement will result in a significant expenditure of funds for
transportation of inmates either by private contractor, on an as-needed basis, or the
expenditure of costs associated with salary and.benefits of two officers, and the purchase
and maintenance of •a suitable vehicle dedicated to this purpose.
