To: Board of Supervisors
From: David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner
Report Title: Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners, in the amount of $1,000,000 for the period of September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024 to provide standard crime scene and biological cleaning services and specialized cleaning services to combat the spread of respiratory and bloodborne illnesses.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request will result in up to $1,000,000 in contractual service expenditures over a 1-year period and will be funded 100% by the Sheriff’s Office General Fund. The FY 23/24 cost will largely depend on the number of actual service callouts and assumes current COVID-19 precautions stay in place.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff's Office has contracted with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners for full-service crime scene and biological cleaning for the detention facilities, patrol station houses and patrol vehicles. The cleaning of blood and bodily fluids requires extensive training and experience to avoid contamination and health risks. In addition to the standard cleaning services, Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners has also provided increased sanitation measures at the Sheriff's facilities. Due to the continued risk of respiratory and bloodborne illnesses, the Sheriff's Office deems it necessary to continue the contract with Diablo Crime Scene Cleaners for the foreseeable future.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriff's Office will be unable to acquire the appropriate level of cleaning and sanitation services.
