Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
The Superior Court requests approval of statewide contract for pharmaceutical & drug testing supplies from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics to be utilized by the Fulton County Accountability Courts programs which includes Drugs, Veteran & Behavioral Health Programs. The purchase of all testing supplies is to be reimbursed through approved funds established by the 2018 statewide grants for Behavioral Health, Veterans and Drug Court Programs.
Scope of Work:
The purchase of medical/drug testing supplies for random drug testing primarily for Superior Court Accountability Courts, as well as State & Juvenile Courts as requested.
Community Impact: The contract with Siemens will support drug testing services for more than 400 criminal defendants in the Accountability Court Programs. The provision of these services will ensure program compliance and effective treatment/services for defendants with substance abuse addictions. Effective treatment programs improve safety and reduce criminal recidivism in the community.
Department Recommendation: Superior Court Administration recommends approval.
Project Implications: The contract with Siemens will allow the purchase of drug testing supplies at a discounted rate for more than 400 defendants within the Accountability Court Programs. The lack of these supplies will prohibit adequate treatment as required for defendants with substance abuse additions and prevent assimilation back into the community at large.
Community Issues/Concerns: Without the proper support to the Program, via the Grant, defendants within the County’s care are more likely to become recidivist, which will lead to an increased jail population.
Department Issues/Concerns: The department does not have any issues or concerns with this contract.
Contract Modification: This is a new request.
