Board approves coroner services agreement with Randox Laboratories after coroner cites urgent need
Summary
Kootenai County coroner Dr. Duke Johnson told the board a delayed Randox Laboratories agreement is critical for toxicology screening; the board approved the contract and discussed two service levels priced at about $7,000 and $9,000.
Dr. Duke Johnson, identified in the meeting as the coroner, explained that Randox Laboratories had delayed sending a routine toxicology services agreement and that the county needs the contract to ensure timely toxicology screening.
Johnson described two service levels offered by Randox: a single‑trip service priced at about $7,000 and a comprehensive service priced at about $9,000, the latter covering broader contingencies. He said company changes caused the delay in presenting the agreement and apologized for the late addition to the agenda.
A motion to approve the agreement for services with Randox Laboratories U.S. Limited was made and seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve the contract.
Implementation: the agreement will be processed through county contracting channels as a services contract for the coroner's office.
