BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s (Sheriff) Carry a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Licensing Unit has expanded exponentially. On September 29, 2022, Sheriff executed a contract with Permitium for the term of October 24, 2022, through October 23, 2023. The goal of the department in contracting with Permitium LLC (Permitium) for an online CCW licensing process was to mitigate the costs in processing hard copies of CCW files, physical storage, office space, and office supplies. The automation of the CCW application process allows for greater efficiency, ensures accountability, and be cost effective to improve customer service. 

 

Sheriff uses Permitium’s PermitDirector software for weapon permits, which serves as an end-to-end online solution that includes the application, background check tracking, processing, payment and issuance of gun and concealed carry permits.

 

Sheriff currently manages over 20,000 CCW files, with thousands of additional CCW files added to this number annually. In 2023, 15,700 CCW applications were processed. This included new, renewals, and amendment requests.

Sheriff requests the Board of Supervisors to retroactively approve payment for the Permitium system. These invoices are due to a contract overrun since additional costs were not anticipated when the contract was initially established. The Permitium contract MA-060-23010282 had an effective date of October 24, 2022, through October 23, 2023, in the amount of $35,000. The contract was overrun by $16,356. Sheriff’s Professional Standards Division staff will ensure that expenditures for their contracts are monitored and will work with Sheriff’s Procurement Department staff should additional funds be needed. On October 23, 2023, Sheriff renewed contract MA-060-23010282 for the term of October 24, 2023, through October 23, 2024, under Amendment Number One.

 

The Contractor's performance has been confirmed as satisfactory. Sheriff has verified there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to Contractor's ownership/name, litigation status of conflicts with County interests.

Appropriations for these invoices are included in Sheriff-Coroner's FY 2023-24 Budget for Budget Control 060.
