(AEL) Date: November 16, 2023 BACKGROUND: The Professional Service Agreement with AEL is scheduled to expire on December 31,2023. The terms of the agreement allow for annual renewals for a period of up to five (5) years, contingent upon the mutual agreement of both parties. Both parties are interested in renewing the contract. AEL requested a 1.5% rate increase. Per the Agreement, if parties agree to renew the agreement, CCUA may consider a price increase in either of the renewal years based on verifiable changes in the marketplace. Staff compared the rates to the verifiable changes in the marketplace and have determined the rates to be consistent with the marketplace. BUDGET IMPACT: Staff has budgeted $413,150 for laboratory services in FY 23/24. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the Board of Supervisors approve the renewal for the Professional Service Agreement with AEL to be extended for an additional one (1)year term and rate increase.
