Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 10/9/2012
DATE: Tuesday, October 09,2012 REFERENCE NO.: **C-25909
LOG NAME: 35DNA ANALYSIS
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Agreement with Orchid Cellmark,Inc., in the Amount Up to$338,000.00 for
Professional Forensic Laboratory Services for the Fort Worth Police Department's Crime Lab (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of
an Agreement with Orchid Cellmark, Inc.,in the amount up to
$338,000.00 for professional forensic laboratory services for the
Fort Worth Police Department's Crime Lab for a period of twelve
months, with five one—year options to renew annually.
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Police Department has used outside firms to
supplement the casework performed by the Crime Lab for
approximately the last 10 years in order to efficiently manage its
caseload. Expenses for this Agreement are estimated in the amount
of$338,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2013.
Orchid Cellmark,Inc., will provide the department with specific
forensic analysis,including DNA analysis for cold cases and other
instances where the City of Fort Worth(City) and other agencies
are unable to provide analysis. The Fort Worth Police Department
recommends this vendor because of the need for scientific
integrity, credible testimony and close proximity to the City.The
City has contracted with this agency since 2003.
M/WBE—A waiver for the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting
requirements was requested by the Police Department and
approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods and
services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION:

are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the General Fund.
