SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Contracts/Purchasing has been activated by the County Emergency Operation Center as the Logistics Support Section since March 2020.

The services outlined in Exhibit A are the associated Agreements that have been signed retroactive of services provided.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and fires are currently being monitored and managed by the service Agreements outlined in Exhibit A and are anticipated to extend beyond December 30, 2020. By approving and authorizing the Contracts/Purchasing Officer or his designee to execute the Agreements and associated Amendments in response to these emergencies, the continuity to services will be sustainable.
