On March 28, 2023, the Board approved the first amendment increasing the Agreement amount by $200,000, for a new Agreement total of $600,000. On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the second amendment increasing the Agreement amount by $30,000, for a new Agreement total of $630,000.

Summary of Request:
On March 25, 2021, the Sheriff’s Office released Request for Proposal (RFP) SO-015-21 for Security Guard Services for hospitalized inmates outside of the Mendocino County Jail. As a result, on July 15, 2021, Armorous was awarded a four-year Agreement, with the option to extend the Agreement term for three additional one-year periods. The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of inmates requiring hospitalization outside of the Jail. Armed guard services are also necessary to maintain public safety, protect medical staff, and prevent escape risks during the inpatient care of inmates. In recent months, the number of hospitalized inmates has exceeded prior projections, resulting in an increased demand for contracted guard services. The proposed amendment will ensure adequate staffing and coverage for hospitalized inmates in response to the unanticipated increase in such cases. This amendment will increase the total Agreement amount by $84,000 for a new Agreement total of $814,000 through June 30, 2026.
