(ALL)Authorize Amendment to Increase Annual Expenditures under City Secretary Contract No. 51346 with LaSalle Corrections VI, LLC for Jail Intake Services for the Fort Worth Police Department by $400,000.00 and Authorize the Second Annual Renewal Option in an Amount Not to Exceed $3,750,000.00 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 51346 with LaSalle Corrections VI, LLC. for jail intake services to increase the annual amount by $400,000.00 for a new total annual amount of $3,750,000.00; and 2. Authorize the second annual renewal option with LaSalle Corrections VI, LLC. in an amount not to exceed $3,750,000.00 DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize an amendment to increase the annual maximum expenditures under an existing City contract and to authorize the second annual renewal option. On September 25, 2018, City Council authorized the execution of an agreement with LaSalle Corrections VI, LLC. for jail intake services in an annual amount of$3,350,000.00 (M&C C-28877). The City of Mansfield currently provides detention services, including booking, transferring, and detention of prisoners arrested by the City of Fort Worth. Since 2022, LaSalle Corrections VI, LLC has experienced an increased volume of inmates and staffing shortage on the main midnight shifts from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. on weekend days Friday through Sunday. This M&C is to request an amendment of City Secretary Contract No. 51346 with an increase of the maximum annual contract authority from $3,350,000.00 to $3,750,000.00, starting Fiscal Year 2023. This increase in contract authority allows the vendor to increase wages which is expected to improve staffing shortages and retention levels to provide the necessary jail intake services. A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Police Department and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. The current renewal term is from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Upon the expiration of the renewal term, the City has six (6) remaining one-year renewal options. Funding will be budgeting in Other Contractual Services account within the Crime Control and Prev Distr Operating Fund for Fiscal Year 2023. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget by the City Council, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2023 operating budget, as appropriated, in the Crime Control and Prev Distr Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
