DATE: May 1, 2018
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: Amendment I to Agreement with RR-M Reyna, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize Chairman to execute Amendment 1 to Agreement No. 14-258 with RR-M Reyna, Inc., doing business as R & R Transport, for professional decedent removal services, effective May 1, 2018 with no change in the term to May 15, 2019 and increasing the maximum by $44,000 to $200,000 per year (for the current and remaining year of the contract), with an increase in the total five year agreement to $870,000.
REPORT

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action in the current fiscal year. The current annual maximum for the Sheriff-Coroner's Office is $156,000; the requested increase of $44,000 for a total of $200,000 will be absorbed within the Sheriff-Coroner's Org 3111 FY 2017-18 budget. The $44,000 increase for FY 2018-19 will be included in the department's budget request.
