Re: Amendment to Forensic DUI Analysis Contract
Dear Chief Gonzalez,
In early 2019, the Bureau of Forensic Services (BFS) began updating its standard coniract for DUI analysis services in order to adapt to changes in the Vehicle Code as well as to the increase in drug-only DUI (DUID) cases.
The amended language allows our laboratories to commence drug analysis immediately when no alcohol content is suspected, thus bypassing the otherwise-required testing for alcohol.
This change will streamline the analytical process, minimize turn-around times, and decrease backlogs.
Attached for your review, please find form 'STD. 213A' and attachments 'Exhibit A - SCOPE OF WORK', 'Exhibit B - BUDGET DETAIL AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS', and 'Exhibit D - SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS,' amending our existing forensic DUI agreement. A copy of your existing agreement has also been provided for comparison.
If there are any edits that need to be made prior to you being able to sign, please contact unclEs he documents acd Pingly and provide you revise lin fadic sign, We can Sincerely,
Barry Miller
Bureau Director, Bureau of Forensic Services
