Summary of Request:
Health and Human Services Agency has been contracting with Redwood Toxicology Laboratory since 2006 for drug/alcohol testing devices and specimen laboratory testing. Redwood Toxicology Laboratory will provide services for Family and Children’s Services clients who are required to drug test either as part of investigations regarding child abuse or neglect, or as part of a client’s case plan to determine if drugs and/or alcohol are being used.
Redwood Toxicology Laboratory is one of the nation’s largest drug and alcohol testing laboratories and is the government services division of Abbott. They are able to provide rapid and reliable results which impacts social worker and court decisions about children’s safety in homes with parents who are testing positive for drug and/or alcohol.
Redwood Toxicology Laboratory requested changes to boilerplate language used in County contracts. Negotiations between County Counsel and Redwood Toxicology, along with the review and signature process, delayed execution of the contract and necessitated the retroactive start date.
