To: Board of Supervisors
From: David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner
Report Title: Leica Geosystems
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Leica Geosystems in the amount of $8,000 to provide preventive maintenance, extended warranty and repairs for the Office of the Sheriff Forensics Division’s 3D laser scanners, for the period June 6, 2024 through June 5, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request will result in a one-time expenditure of $8,000 and will be funded 100% by the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Leica Geosystems provides a reality capture solution which empowers the user to document and capture environments in 3D with accuracy, efficiency and portability. Leica Geosystems manufactures the Leica 3D scanners used by the Office of the Sheriff Forensics Division, which are utilized when capturing high resolution images of crime scenes.
The department is seeking approval of this retroactive contract due to unintentional oversight caused by the substantial number of new contracts the Office of the Sheriff is currently handling.
The Terms and Conditions include a limitation of liability provision.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve, the Office of the Sheriff Forensics Division laboratory will be out of compliance with maintenance of the equipment, which will result in the inability to provide scanning services at crime scenes.
