DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Third Amendment to Agreement with B.I. Incorporated
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Third Amendment to Agreement No. A-21-222 with B.I. Incorporated, doing business in California as BI Correctional Services, Inc., to extend the term of the existing Agreement for operation of an adult Day Reporting Center by one year, which includes a six-month base extension and one optional six-month extension, from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 with no change to the maximum compensation of $4,121,036.
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action, which will allow B.I. Incorporated (BI) to continue to operate the adult Day Reporting Center (DRC), while the Probation Department completes the procurement process and establishes a new agreement. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If the Board does not approve the recommended action, the Department will experience a lapse in DRC services until a Request for Proposal (RFP) is completed, and a new agreement is established.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Services provided under this agreement and the recommended amendment are funded with Senate Bill 678 (Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act) funds, under which cost savings realized by the State in avoiding new prison admissions are shared with counties that have successful felony probation programs. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues will be included in the Probation Department’s FY 2026-27 Recommended Budget for Org 3430.
DISCUSSION:
On June 22, 2021, the Board approved Agreement No. A-21-222 with BI for the operation of a Day Reporting Center to provide evidence-based programming to adult offenders. Services include but are not limited to daily check-ins, random drug testing, job skills training/placement, substance abuse counseling, anger management, family and parenting counseling, educational services/GED, life skills, relapse prevention, and mental health assessments.
On March 22, 2022, the Board approved revenue Agreement No. A-22-110 with the Superior Court of California, County of Fresno (Superior Court) for the Pretrial Services Expansion Program, pursuant to Senate Bill 129 of the Budget Act of 2021. This agreement allowed for reimbursement of costs associated with the Pretrial Services Expansion Program (Senate Bill 129, Budget Act of 2021).
On December 13, 2022, the Board approved the first amendment to Agreement No. A-21-222 with BI, adding administration of a financial questionnaire to in-custody, Pretrial-eligible defendants, as part of the Pretrial Services Expansion Program. Funding for these services was provided by the Superior Court.
On November 4, 2025, your Board approved the retroactive second amendment to Agreement A-21-222 with BI Incorporated, which discontinued services for the administration of financial questionnaires due to a loss of funding from the Superior Court, effective October 1, 2025.
The current agreement will expire on June 30, 2026. The Department is completing the procurement process for issuance of an RFP to establish a new agreement for DRC services.
Therefore, approval of the recommended action will extend the current agreement for an initial six-month term, with the option to extend for an additional six-month period, to ensure continuity of DRC services without interruption while the Department completes the RFP process and establishes a new agreement.
The recommended amendment deviates from the County’s standard agreement language by including a mutual 30-day advance written-notice termination clause, effective January 1, 2027. The Probation Department believes that the benefits of the recommended amendment outweigh any potential risks and recommends approval of the amendment as a prudent business decision.
