76. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING Approve the retroactive Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Bureau of State Laboratory Services (BSLS) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH) for Infectious Disease testing. This IGA provides adequate funding for supplies, testing equipment, sequencing and related costs associated with surge testing. The not-to-exceed amount is $600,000.00, and the contract term is January 07, 2025, through January 14, 2026. This was the first time this grant was awarded, and it is unknown if it will be awarded again. It is non-competitive and there is no cash or in-kind match required. Should the grant cease, on-going contributions would not be required. This grant is not a mandated function but provides a valuable service to the community by testing for emerging infections. The Department of Health’s indirect rate for FY26 is 16.69%. Indirect costs are estimated at $85,817.12 all of which is recoverable. Departmental indirect rates are re-established at the beginning of each fiscal year the future indirect rate will be collected at the corresponding rates. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This Agreement does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. Funding for this Agreement is provided by a grant from ADHS and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-86-26-014-X-00)
