This agreement has been amended multiple times. SMMC recently completed a Request for Proposals and chose a different laundry linen vendor.
DISCUSSION:
SMMC is requesting that your Board increase the funding amount by $75,000 to allow payment of the outstanding bills that were not included in the previous amendment's not to exceed amount. SMMC and the vendor originally agreed upon on an estimate for the required volume of laundry services prior to the Omicron COVID-19 surge. With the recent Omicron surge, this estimate proved to be insufficient, and hence the reason why we are returning to your Board to increase the funding amount for this agreement.
This amendment is late due to the unanticipated bulk of services needed for the last two months of the agreement.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to form.
The resolution contains the County's standard provisions allowing amendment of the County fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
