SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Retroactive Second Amendment to Agreement with B.I. Incorporated
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive Second Amendment to Agreement No. A-21-222 with B.I. Incorporated, doing business in California as BI Correctional Services, Inc., to discontinue services for the administration of financial questionnaires, effective October 1, 2025, with no change to the term of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026, or the compensation maximum of $4,121,036.
REPORT

Amendment No. 1 only provided funds for the financial questionnaire services through the end of FY 2025. Actual and projected costs for FY 2026 will not exceed the maximum compensation. Due to budgetary reductions, the Superior Court of California (Court) is unable to continue funding for these services past September 30, 2025.
