AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with California Forensic Phlebotomy, Inc. for Blood Technician Services
(Specification No. 25-135) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with California Forensic
Phlebotomy, Inc. to provide blood technician services for a term beginning on March 5,
2026 and expiring March 4, 2029, with provisions for two, one-year extensions in an

GOVERNMENT CODE 484308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
In 1992, the City of Santa Ana contracted with a vendor to provide blood technician
services to the Santa Ana Police Department. The contracted services include providing
blood technician services, seven days per week, 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
These technicians are responsible for drawing blood in a medically -approved manner,
retaining these items through an evidentiary -approved process, and relinquishing them
to the Orange County Crime Lab for analysis. The Santa Ana Police Department
requests these services to obtain blood samples from individuals that have been
involved in incidents where drugs and/or alcohol are suspected.
The City's current blood technician services agreement with California Forensic
Phlebotomy Inc. is set to expire on March 4, 2026. To ensure blood technician services
continue uninterrupted, the Police Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)
No. 25-135 on November 17, 2025, via the City's online bid management and
publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
279 Vendors notified
32 Santa Ana Vendors notified
12 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet

0 Responsive proposals received from Santa Ana vendors
Two proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline, which were determined to be
responsive to the specifications, and met the City's requirements. The proposals were
evaluated and scored by a committee pursuant to the criteria identified within the RFP.
This included Organization / Completeness of Response, Background, Qualifications &
Experience, Key Personnel / Proposed Staffing, Technical Approach / Methodology,
and Cost Proposal.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest -ranked firm, California
Forensics Phlebotomy Inc. (Exhibit 1). CFP has been in business since 1982, providing
blood technician services. CFP services all Orange County law enforcement agencies,
as well as all agencies within San Diego County, in California. CFP employees remain
on -call at all times, seven days per week, 24 hours per day, 365 days a year to conduct
blood draws as requested. This allows CFP to respond to requests for service within 45
minutes. CFP has extensive experience in the policies and procedures of the Orange
County Sheriff's Department Forensic Sciences Lab, where all blood samples are
processed and examined. In addition, CFP employees are required to complete an
extensive background check and have access to secured areas. CFP staff also
understands the requirements and expectations of the Santa Ana Police Department
regarding blood sample draws.
