FROM: Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Contra
Costa
DATE: May 8, 2001 County
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment with Sentencing Concepts, Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to sign a contract amendment on
behalf of the County with Sentencing Concepts, Inc. to increase the total amount of the contract
by $17,000 to a new total of$42,000 for the continued provision of private Electronic Home
monitoring services, and to extend the contract from June 30, 2001 to September 30, 2001.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE. The cost of this contract is paid by Custody Alternative facility program fees.
BACKGROUND:
Certain inmates referred to the Office of the Sheriff for out-of-custody programs cannot be
accommodated due to their residing outside Contra Costa County.
Section 1203.016 of the Penal Code authorizes the Sheriff,with the Board of Supervisors'approval,
to enter into a contract with a private company to provide electronic home monitoring services
outside the County.
The Sheriff's Office has been contracting with Sentencing Concepts for several years. The current
contract expires on June 30, 2001. The Sheriffs Office is currently in the process of working with
the Purchasing Division to put a contract package out to bid. However, this process cannot be
completed prior to the expiration of the current contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriffs Office does not have the internal capacity to monitor individuals in out-of-custody
outside Contra Costa County. Therefore, these low risk inmates would have to be to retained in
one of the detention facilities at greater cost to the County.
