The following are the pertinent provisions of the Contracts:
•                     The term of the Contract was from date of award through June 30, 2019 and included the option to renew                      for 4, one-year periods. There is 1 renewal option remaining.
•                     Included the option to increase the award amount up to 20% based on possible increased user                      requirements for the renewal terms and approved budget appropriations.
•                     Included the County’s option to terminate for cause, convenience or default and suspend the Contract                      with advanced written notice.

This approval will provide for the Coroner’s office to pay the current Forensic Pathologist that they have under contract.
