PRISM, previously known as CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA),
was formed as a joint powers authority in 1979. It is a member -directed
risk sharing pool of counties and other public entities providing risk
coverage programs and risk management services. PRISM offers volume
discounts and strategic blending of self-insurance and insurance to its
member agencies, including workers' compensation, general liability,
property, medical malpractice, employee health and benefits, and many
other coverages for public entity exposures. Its services include loss
prevention, online training, technology support, legislative review and
several cost containment service programs. Pursuant to Article 7 of
PRISM's Joint Powers Agreement, the Board of Supervisors of each
member county shall appoint a director and an alternate director to
serve on the PRISM Board of Directors. On June 14, 2016, Julia
Ogonowski, Risk Manager, was appointed the director and Sang Kim,
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, was appointed the alternate
director. As the organization changes, the ability to make these
appointments based on job title instead of by employee name provides

representation. Therefore, it is recommended that the Risk Manager

4.14 Contract with Hankins Group Inc. for Generator System Replacement at
County Public Safety Facilities
The generator backup systems that support the public safety facilities on
the Oroville Government Campus were originally designed to provide
backup electricity for very short durations and do not include any
support for heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC). The County
was forced to rent long term generators to support the HVAC during
Public Safety Power Shutoff events spanning multiple days and the
potential of rolling brownouts. Some of these rental generators remain
in place today. On October 13, 2020, the Board approved a budget
adjustment and contract with PACE Engineering to design a
comprehensive generator backup system for the public safety facilities.
The capital project budget of $1,816,400 to fund replacement of the
backup generators was approved in the FY 2021-22 budget. In March
2022, the Department of General Services published a formal invitation
for bids for construction of generator backup systems for the jail,
juvenile hall, and dispatch facilities. A total of three bids were received
ranging in cost from $1,820,472 to $2,152,021. The Department of
General Services recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the
plans and specifications which are available for review at the General
Services office located at 2081 2nd Street in Oroville, execute a contract
with Chico based Hankins Group Inc., the lowest bidder, and appoint the
General Services Director as the officer of the project. The term of the
contract is 189 days from Notice to Proceed for a fixed fee of $1,820,472.
The proposed budget for FY 2022-23 includes appropriations to bring the
project budget to $2.5 million, to fund the cost of the contract plus the
related project expenses including, permitting, inspections, project
management and contingencies. (General Services)

DSH for a JBCT program. The purpose of the program is to provide

recommends amending the contract with CFMG to increase staffing,
budget for supplies, and services necessary to treat the additional JBCT
Program participants. The amendment increases the maximum payable
