a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a Third Amended Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Thomas D. Ramirez d.b.a. Southern Coast Janitorial (a local vendor) to revive the Agreement for FYs 2017-2020 to compensate the contractor an additional amount of $10,000.00 for furnishing additional detailed sanitation cleaning services at Behavioral Wellness clinics providing essential mental health services and the Psychiatric Health Facility, necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic in FY 2019-2020, with a total Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $522,380.00, inclusive of $180,089.00 for FY 2017-2018, $164,076.00 for FY 2018-2019, and $178,215.00 for FY 2019-2020, for the period of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020;
b) Determine that the County’s economic interests are served by such a contract, pursuant to Government Code Section 31000, since there are not County employees available to perform these maintenance or custodial matters; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
