DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Forensics Division contracts with
California Forensic Phlebotomy, Inc., to provide blood alcohol level
testing and analysis, drug content, blood typing, and DNA testing.
California Forensic Phlebotomy services all Orange County law enforcement
agencies. The testing is required for use as evidence in the prosecution of
criminal cases.
On July 2, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to California Forensic
Phlebotomy, Inc., for blood and breath technician services in an annual
amount of $80,000 for a two-year term, with provision for three, one-year
renewals. This projected cost was based on prior year usage and staff
estimates. Over the past 12 months, the Police Department has increased the
amount of check points to enforce public safety and, as a result, an
increase in the number of blood and breath technician tests used. In order
to continue services to the end of the original term, staff recommends
adding funds to the current contract. Additionally, California Forensic
Phlebotomy, has performed satisfactorily during the two-year contract
period and staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
