SUBJECT: Purchase Order Contract, Specialized Litigation Services, Inc., Service of Process
SPECIFIC REQUIiST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Services Officer to issue a Purchase Order Contract to Specialized
Litigation Services, Inc. in the amount of$100,000.00 for legal process services for the Department of Child
Support Services for the period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of this contract is budgeted within the State's allocation to Child Support Services. There will be no
impact on the General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services is empowered to enter into contracts with private organizations, as
necessary, to carry out the responsibilities imposed by the State plan for securing support for children and
families.
The department wished to change vendors due to unsatisfactory service from the vendor that had been providing
service of process. Several different companies were researched per the Small Business and Outreach
requirements. Specialized Litigation Services was selected and on April 26, 2001 a blanket purchase order
(93844) was issued to Specialized Litigation Services for the period 4/1/01 through 6/30/01. The department
wishes to extend their contract with Specialized Litigation Services through June 30, 2002.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request would restrict the Department of Child Support Services ability to collect child
support for the children of Contra Costa County.
