Good Afternoon Beryl,

Please find attached two agreements for special services between DOC and STOP LLC.

We have only been under contract with this company since November 2015; this contract terminated on 6/30/16. We are now in our second contract with them which goes from 7/1/16 through 6/30/17.

This did not require an RFP because both contracts in both cases were under $5000 which allows us to do a sole source contract.

Respectfully,

Jane L. Tower, Secretary Specialist
