From: Matt Brega, Child Support Services Director
Report Title: Purchase Order with OPEX Corporation
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Child Support Services Director, a purchase order with OPEX Corporation in an amount not to exceed $14,147 for a suite of barcode licenses for mail processing machines for the period August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$14,146.53: 66% Federal, 34% State; all of which is budgeted in FY 25/26.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Child Support Services utilizes OPEX Corporation to automate and disseminate mail received by the department. The software facilitates effective operations and simplifies the complexities of running a high-volume mailroom. This helps in supporting communication and facilitation of child support services available in Contra Costa County.
The Master Maintenance Agreement of the purchase order includes a Limitation of Liability and Indemnification provision approved by County Counsel. This Purchase Order is late due to staff shortages in Child Support’s administration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the department will have difficulty completing business operations for Child Support Services.
