Information
Department Action
This is to request Commissioners Court approval for change order #1 to Contract 2020-151 for the forensic testing of physical evidence.  The Court in February approved my office’s application to reapply for the Forensic Evidence Testing Grant.  In doing so, we sought to expand the testing options available to us through the grant.  This requires a change order with Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc, who was awarded the contract for testing under the current and previous grants.  The contract will be renewed for the period of April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
