This contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000. This contract was approved by Health Services Personnel to ensure there is no conflict with labor relations. These contracted services were determined to be exempt from Administrative Bulletin 600.3 solicitation requirements by the Public Works Department’s Purchasing Division.

This contract includes services provided by represented non-teamster classifications and the county has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).
