Background Information

On January 7, 2014, Gila County entered into Professional Services Agreement No. 062813 with Dr. Mark Fischione for Medical Examiner Services for Gila County. The contract was issued for a period of one year in a not to exceed amount of $30,000 without prior written approval from Gila County. Additionally, the contract allows for the option to renew the contract term for three (3) additional one- (1) year periods. During the first four months of the contract term, an amount of $26,320 has been expended.

Evaluation

There is a need to increase the contract amount of Professional Services Agreement No. 062813 for Medical Examiner Services with Dr. Mark Fischione to cover the remainder of Fiscal Year 2013/2014, as well as going into Fiscal Year 2014/2015 for the remainder of the contract term, which expires on January 6, 2015.
