Agenda Item Text:
Approve the renewal of contracts for Indigent Defense Contract Services to seventeen Attorneys for the period of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
Background:
On June 26, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved the award of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 11-02-CAO-01 to adopt a qualified list of nineteen (19) attorneys to provide indigent defense services. The terms of the RFQ included a provision to renew the contract for up to four (4) years in one-year periods. This is the first year renewal period. All contract attorneys agreed to renew their contract, with minor revisions to the original contract terms, with the exception of Kent Law Group. During the first contract period one attorney, Abigail Jensen, terminated her contract.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Assign work on a rotation basis. Monitor contract performance.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
IDC will no longer have a contractual agreement with court-appointed private attorneys and will return to the former hourly payment method for those attorneys.
