TOPIC: Amendment to the Agreement with The Counseling Team International
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve Amendment to the Agreement with The Counseling Team International in the
amount of $6,145 for Law Enforcement Psychological Services (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with The
Counseling Team International in an amount not to exceed $6,145 for law enforcement
psychological services for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $84,145 for the
agreement term ending on September 30, 2025, subject to non -substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes contract psychologists to provide pre-
employment screenings, employee support and counseling, critical incident counseling,
training, and SWAT consultation. On October 4, 2022, the City Council authorized a
new agreement with The Counseling Team International (TCTI) to provide law
enforcement psychological services for a three year period. TCTI was one of three
selected consultants to provide these services.
After the approval of the agreement, the Police Department became aware of past -due
invoices totaling $6,145 for services rendered by TCTI under the previous agreement
that expired on September 30, 2022. Due to insufficient contract authority remaining on
the now expired agreement, the Department is unable to compensate TCTI for past
services rendered. Therefore, this amendment is necessary to increase the total not -to -
exceed amount from $78,000 to $84,145 and add language to include these
outstanding invoices.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $6,145 for this amendment are available in the Human
Resources, Contract Services account (no. 01114402-62300).
