FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with this recommended action as the Department anticipates ARPA funds, or alternate third-party funding, will be utilized for continued service costs.

Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues will be included in the Department’s Risk Management Org 8925 FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget.
DISCUSSION:
On January 26, 2021, your Board approved to replace Agreement A-20-295 with Pinnacle Training Systems, LLC with Agreement A-21-025 for COVID-19 testing services, which extended the term of the agreement through June 30, 2021.
On May 25, 2021, a retroactive First Amendment to Agreement A-21-025 was approved by your Board, which extended the term to the Agreement through December 31, 2021, expanded the testing services to include incarcerated populations as a requirement for transfer to State correctional facilities, and increased the maximum by $1,083,400 for a total not to exceed $3,749,000.
On September 7, 2021, your Board approved a retroactive Second Amendment to Agreement A-21-025 in response to a Public Health Order issued by the California Department of Public Health State Public Health Officer, requiring testing of unvaccinated workers in certain settings. The Amendment allowed for the expansion of testing availability by including rapid antigen testing, the extension of the Agreement to June 30, 2022, and an increase of the maximum by $6,131,000 for a total of $9,880,000.
Approval of this Third Amendment to Agreement A-21-025 allows the County to continue to offer testing services throughout its facilities through December 31, 2022.
