On June 24, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the total contract by an additional $40,000 for a new total contract amount of $70,000.

On October 21, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 2 to increase the total contract by an additional $30,000 for a new total contract amount of $100,000.

On December 16, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 3 to extend the term of the contract from January 7, 2015 to January 6, 2016.  Amendment No. 3 also served to increase the original dollar amount of the contract from $30,000 to $70,000.

On September 1, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 4 to increase the total contract by an additional $40,000 for a new, not to exceed without written authorization contract amount of $110,000 for the January 7, 2015, to January 6, 2016 contract term.

On January 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 5 to increase the total contract by an additional $10,000 for a new, not to exceed without written authorization contract amount of $120,000 for the January 7, 2015 to January 6, 2016 contract term.
Evaluation
Professional Services Agreement No. 062813-Medical Examiner Services for Gila County with Dr. Mark Fischione will expire on January 6, 2016.  Per Article 11-Term, of the contract documents, Gila County has the option to renew the contract for three additional one-year terms.  At this time, staff and Dr. Fischione, are exploring ways to possibly reduce costs to the County for medical examiner services.  To allow the time necessary to perform an in-depth analysis of all costs associated with autopsy services, staff desires to extend the contract for a six month period.  Amendment No. 6 will serve to extend the contract term from January 7, 2016 to July 6, 2016.

Additionally, Amendment No. 6 will increase the original contract amount of $30,000 by an additional $35,000, for a new, not to exceed without prior written authorization total contract amount of $65,000, for the contract term from January 7, 2016 to July 6, 2016.
Conclusion
Staff feels it would best serve the interest of Gila County to continue to contract with Dr. Mark Fischione for medical examiner services for Gila County.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of Amendment No. 6 to extend the contract term of Professional Services Agreement No. 062813 with Dr. Mark Fischione for medical examiner services for Gila County for a six month period, and to increase the original contract amount from $30,000 to $65,000 for the contract term from January 7, 2016, to July 6, 2016.
