Exhibit A
NOW,THEREFORE,the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES.
• It is anticipated that approximately 1,000 DNA samples [evidence and references] will be
outsourced each year. Turn-around time requirements will range from 1 day to 30 days.
Turnaround time is defined as the time batches are received and accessioned by the
laboratory until the time samples are reported into the BodeHITS Case Management
Software. Standard turnaround time is defined as 30 days for upload into BodeHITS and an
additional 15 days to include delivery of CODIS Packet, if required.
• The STR DNA analysis of these samples will be performed utilizing methods and materials
approved by a CODIS laboratory. Any new STR kit testing platform must be mutually
agreed upon by Bode, SBPD and the CODIS lab. Technical procedures include
amplification of a 16-locus system [Identifiler,IdentifilerPlus,or PowerPlexl6], capillary
electrophoresis.All testing will be performed according to Bode's standard operating
procedures. STR kit must be agreed upon by Bode and SBPD. New testing platforms may
have more loci,resulting in higher raw material costs. In this event,pricing for DNA
analysis is subject to change. In this event,Bode will propose updated pricing that will be
mutually agreed upon prior to implementation.All personnel hired after the last documented
audit must demonstrate documentation of the educational requirements as defined by the
FBI Quality Assurance Standards for the Forensic DNA and Convicted Offender DNA
Databasing Laboratories. This information must be submitted to and approved by the SBPD
contract manager in writing prior to the new personnel working on this contract.
• Bode must also provide a copy of the laboratory table of organization which includes all
personnel who will be involved in any way with this contract to the SBPD contract manager
(i.e.project employees). The names of the individuals with the following job titles,as
defined by the FBI's Quality Assurance Standards for Forensic DNA and Convicted
Offender DNA Databasing Laboratories, shall be documented: Technical Leader, Quality
Assurance Officer, and all analysts/technicians qualified to perform analysis.
Documentation must be provided that describes how the individuals meet the specifications
for these job titles.
• All personnel, organizational changes, and standard operating procedures will be provided
to the SBPD and the CODIS laboratory as required to maintain compliance for upload as
deemed by the FBI's Quality Assurance Standards.
• Bode shall maintain written guidelines for STR interpretation, evidence handling,tracking,
sample preservation, database management and security.
• Bode shall supply documentation to the SBPD RDIS contract manager of any corrective
action reports generated by the Vendor's Quality Assurance Officer that affect SBPD
analysis throughout the contract.
• Bode shall maintain strict policies to protect the confidentiality of case information and data.
At hire,Bode employees are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating that all
information that they may have access to may not be disclosed to any unauthorized party.
2
9629
2015-48
Exhibit A
Given the irreplaceable nature and confidentiality of the samples, it is critical to eliminate
opportunities for loss or switching of samples. Bode will be responsible for providing the
following:
(a)The laboratory, and each analyst performing DNA analysis at the laboratory, shall undergo
external proficiency testing by a proficiency testing program that meets the standards issued under
the Federal Bureau of Investigation Quality Assurance Standards.Bode must report to SBPD any
discrepancies/errors and the corrective actions put into place to ensure that previous casework
performed by the analyst and future casework performed by the analyst does not exhibit the
discrepancies/errors seen in the proficiency test.
(b)A Class I error, as defined by ASCLD/LAB, on a proficiency test may be grounds for immediate
termination of this contract upon written notification by the SBPD procurement.
(c) California's DNA Act specifically contains stringent use and disclosure restrictions and
confidentiality protections for DNA samples and profile information. (See e.g., Cal. Pen.Code, §
299.5)In addition, any individual who uses a sample or DNA profile for any purpose other than
criminal identification, or the identification of missing persons, or who discloses the sample or DNA
profile to an unauthorized person,faces "imprisonment in the state prison." (§ 299.5 sub.(i)(1)(A).
The Vendor will be provided a copy of this statute upon request and will certify that:
They have notified their personnel of the potential for criminal penalties should they inappropriately
release information. Any outside inquiries related to the processing of SBPD RDIS samples shall be
immediately reported to SBPD.No information regarding the processing of SBPD RDIS samples
shall be provided without prior written approval by SBPD.
(d)They have returned all data and samples to the SBPD prior to completion of the contract period
with the exception of extracted and amplified DNA.
DNA Analysis
BodeHITS/RDIS Deliverables
BodeHITS is local DNA database program that includes DNA analysis services and software for law
enforcement agencies to develop local or regional DNA databases. Modifications to the standard
program deliverables will result in additional charges as defined in the Financial Proposal. As a part
of BodeHITS,Bode will deliver:
• Remote hosted Web-based Case Management software for sample documentation,batching
and management. Web-based software does not display DNA profiles; it does display DNA
results in pre-defined categories including Full-Profile,Partial Profile and Mixtures.
• Bode managed DNA database software (not accessed by SBPD)where Bode will store and
manage DNA profiles and report HITS between sample profiles.
• Automatic updates in software when there are HITS in the database.
• Bode shall agree to begin analysis and entry of SBPD-RDIS samples within 30 days of
contract award unless modifications from the standard BodeHITS program defined herein
are required.

9629
2015-48
Exhibit A
• Bode's laboratory must be capable of beginning analysis within 30 days of award of the
contract. Samples shall only be tested at the Vendor's laboratory location approved by
SBPD. Bode shall not sub-contract SBPD RDIS samples to any other laboratory.
• Bode must be capable of handling a batch size of 100-500 samples per month.
• Bode must have the ability to produce a turnaround time for a batch of database samples
within 30 calendar days of receiving the samples.
• Bode shall receive and return samples(AT BODE'S EXPENSE) in quantities and at
intervals agreed upon in writing by the SBPD and Bode,as long as the agreement permits
the completion of analysis within the time frame of this contract.The acceptable mode of
shipping must provide proper conditions to protect the integrity of the samples, safeguard
the chain of custody, and assure prompt turn around.The shipper must guarantee the ability
to track all shipments.
• Bode shall notify the SBPD Contract Manager if the samples appear to be damaged during
the shipping or if the sample identifiers do not match the shipping manifest. Bode will notify
SBPD if integrity of any sample has been compromised. Reject samples shall be
acknowledge with written permission from the SBPD.
• Bode shall identify the samples throughout the testing process with the SBPD RDIS unique
identification number or the number provided to the Vendor on the manifest list.
• If samples need to be retested they can be pulled from their original batch for retesting,but
shall remain with the original batch for return to the SBPD.Under extreme circumstances,
samples that cannot be returned with their original batch must be included with the
following batch returned to the SBPD.All reporting documents (electronic and hard copy)
shall have samples identified by SBPD RDIS numbers.
• Procedural changes affecting the SBPD RDIS sample processing shall not be implemented
unless approved in writing by the SBPD ten working days prior to the processing of the
sample. Bode shall provide documentation for these changes to the SBPD.The use of in-
house and other proprietary primer sets,or other commercially available kits for the loci
requested IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
• If need be,the entire sample may be consumed by Bode.
• For reference material defined as database samples, a sample punch shall be automated and
validated for use. Manual sample punching can be done for samples requiring retesting.If
manual punching is performed by Bode, Bode shall supply proper documentation. SBPD
understands that the procedures used for any repeat testing of the samples may differ from
the original procedure in order to enhance the likelihood of obtaining a complete profile.
These procedures shall be validated and contained in the Vendor's approved procedures and
protocols. Samples undergoing repeat analysis with a different protocol than was originally
used shall be flagged on the worksheet(s) with notations regarding the changes and why they
were implemented. Sample punches will only be done on reference samples submitted on
either the Bode Buccal DNA Collector or FTA cards.
• Controls shall be associated with every sample. Each sample used in reporting shall have an
acceptable reagent blank,amplification positive,and amplification negative. Controls shall
be dispersed throughout a plate of samples. If a sample is repeated,then all controls
associated with that sample shall also be repeated when specified by Bode's standard
a
9629
2015-48
Exhibit A
operating procedures. Controls shall be directly associated(same GMID data file)with their
corresponding samples.
(a)The amplification positive shall be 9947A and it will be considered acceptable when the
correct alleles are produced. The Vendor may run multiple positive controls for a sample but
if this is done a complete profile must be obtained for each positive control.
(b)The amplification negative shall be considered acceptable when it demonstrates no true
alleles(peaks).
(c)The reagent blank shall be introduced during the extraction procedures. It shall be
considered acceptable when it demonstrates no true alleles.
(d)The ladders shall be considered acceptable when all appropriate alleles are present and
correctly labeled.
• All reported profiles shall be interpreted in duplicate independently by qualified analysts.
All profiles shall be reported accurately.The use of expert systems in place of qualified
analysts must be approved in writing by the SBPD prior to implementation.Upon approval,
some of the data presentation parameters may be modified to ensure proper allele calls.
• Bode MUST have a mechanism in place to avoid sample switching.Any potential sample
switches determined by SBPD Quality Control procedures will result in the entire batch
being repeated.A second occurrence of an error of this type may result in termination of the
contract.Data generated by Bode analyzed by two independent analysts to verify profile
integrity.The lead analyst will determine if further processing is necessary to produce a
suitable profile(i.e. re-loading or re-amping). The lead analyst will upload the most
complete profile, which may include pulling a major component, into BodeLIMS (an
internal laboratory information management system) and provide a category of result(i.e.
full profile,mixed profile). The technical reviewer will review the profile and assigned
category in BodeLIMS. When the technical reviewer has completed review,the category of
result for each approved sample will automatically transfer to the BodeHITS Case
Management Software during a scheduled sync phase. Once the profile is synced,the
agency will automatically be notified if any HITS were generated. HITS are defined by
Bode as a part of the standard BodeHITS operations. Bode will also provide a batch report
that will list the category of profile that has been uploaded to the BodeHITS database. This
will allow for quick reference to determine which samples produced searchable results; the
batch report does not contain statistical comparisons.
• Prior to reporting a profile, Bode shall perform a contamination quality assurance check by
electronically comparing the reported profile to a database of employee and contamination
profiles observed in the Contract laboratory and samples within the same processing batch.
Printed or written documentation initialed by the reviewer that these checks were performed
successfully must be provided to the SBPD upon return of the completed batch in the event
a CODIS Packet is requested.
• Bode shall return all submitted items (AT BODE'S EXPENSE), sealed in their original
containers to SBPD.An acceptable mode of transportation is one that provides proper
ambient conditions to protect the integrity of the samples, safeguards the chain of custody,
and assures prompt turn-around.Remaining samples shall be returned to SBPD after results
for that batch have been accepted and no repeat analysis is needed. This acceptance will be
s
9629
2015-48
Exhibit A
conveyed in writing to the Bode from the SBPD Contract Manager.Bode will provide a list
of samples in each batch completed along with an invoice for approval of payment.
• Bode shall agree to provide testimony in legal actions, if needed, subsequent to a match
being made between an unsolved casework DNA profile and one of the database samples
analyzed by the Bode. Such testimony could be either onsite or by remote video expert
witness testimony when approved by the corresponding court. Bode's testimony must be
provided by either the reporting analyst,a reviewer of the data involved in the match,the
DNA Technical Leader, or other qualified analyst. If it is necessary for any Contract
personnel to provide a deposition or testimony,Bode will be paid for each person authorized
by the Contract Manager. Bode will be paid the hourly rate and/or daily rate specified in its
Financial Proposal, or a prorated portion thereof rounded off in 15-minute increments,for
each hour or increment,that each authorized person spends preparing for and/or providing
the actual deposition or testimony.Each authorized person must document the nature and
rationale for any billable preparation time,to the satisfaction of the Contract Manager.Bode
will also be paid the hourly rate,or prorated portion thereof, for all time spent by each
authorized person traveling within California to attend a deposition, hearing or court session.
Bode's testimony shall be a fixed rate and may not be subjected to additional costs.
• Chain of custody is a paramount concern to SBPD.Bode's personnel shall verify receipt of
all shipments and maintain a proper chain of custody of all samples. Bode shall maintain
SBPD RDIS identification numbers in addition to Bode generated identification numbers.
• Samples shall be stored in a proper manner while at Bode to prevent loss,cross transfer,
contamination and/or deleterious change.
• Extracted and amplified DNA samples shall be retained by Bode until the end of the
contract period or a mutually agreed upon period, for any additional testing, if needed.At
the end of the contract,the extracted and amplified DNA will be discarded by Bode. A
certified letter must be sent to the SBPD Contract Manager when this is completed.
• Bode will certify prior to completion of the contract that it retains no data or samples from
the SBPD RDIS in their laboratory either physically or electronically.
