FROM: . Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Contra
Costa
DATE: March 28, 2001 County
SUBJECT: Purchase Order for Polygraph Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Manager or his designee to execute a Purchase Order on
behalf of the County with John Wabl not to exceed $40,000, for polygraph services for the Office of the
Sheriff for the period February 19, 2001 to February 18, 2002.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE, funding is available in the Office of the Sheriffs budget to perform Background Investigations
(polygraph services) on job applicants.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriffs Office is responsible for conducting polygraph tests on candidates for employment in both
sworn and non-sworn support positions. Our recruitment efforts have generated a substantial number of
applicants who are required to go through the screening process; however our current staffing level is
unable to complete the necessary steps in a timely fashion. The contractor has the licensing and
experience necessary to provide these services.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If background investigations of candidates are not performed on a timely basis, the Sheriffs's Office risks
losing good staff to competing employers.
