The total cost to OCTA for the contracted law enforcement services is $10,685,102. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, OCTA may request additional special and supplemental services, such as use of the Mounted Enforcement Unit to patrol environmental mitigation properties owned by OCTA, canine explosive detection services and seasonal law enforcement services and special enforcement activities, up to a maximum cost of $447,957, for a firm, fixed total cost of $11,133,059.
Agreement costs include salaries, wages, benefits, services and supplies and transportation expenses as well as division, department and County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan overhead. FY 2021-22 contract service costs are 5.14 percent higher ($522,673) than the current fiscal year's first amendment to the agreement of $10,162,429.
The $447,957 authorized amount for special and supplemental services is established annually by OCTA based on projected service need and available funding.
The net increase is due to updated salary and benefit changes approved by the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS), Association of County Law Enforcement Managers (ACLEM), Orange County Managers Association (OCMA) and the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA). The AOCDS agreement was approved by the Board on October 8, 2019. The Board approved the ACLEM, OCMA and OCEA agreements on October 22, 2019.
The OCTA Executive Committee approved the agreement at its June 7, 2021 meeting. The OCTA Board of Directors approved the agreement at its June 14, 2021, meeting.
