1 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SERVICE AGREEMENT
2 This Amendment No. 1 to Service Agreement ("Amendment No. 1") is dated
3 November 18, 2025 and is between University of Cincinnati Research Institute, an Ohio non-
4 profit 501(c)(3) corporation, whose address is 3080 Exploration Ave, Suite 610, Cincinnati, OH
5 45206 ("Contractor"), and the County of Fresno, a political subdivision of the State of California
6 ("County").
7 Recitals
8 A. On June 4, 2024, the County and the Contractor entered into County agreement number
9 A-24-271 ("Agreement"), to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to improve the delivery
10 of evidence-based practices within the Probation Department ("Probation"), and to implement the
11 continuous quality improvement plan to promote sustainability.
12 B. In September 2025, the Department determined there was a need for training services
13 that would require two trainers; however, the travel cost maximums contained in the Agreement
14 have proven to be insufficient to cover the expenses for more than one trainer.
15 C. The County and the Contractor now desire to amend the Agreement to increase the
16 established allowances for the travel expenses, to allow for the reimbursement of services that
17 require two or more trainers, as well as to account for indirect rates applied.
18 The parties therefore agree as follows:
19 1. Exhibit B of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the attached Revised
20 Exhibit B. All references to Exhibit B contained in the Agreement shall be amended to refer to
21 Revised Exhibit B.
22 2. When both parties have signed this Amendment No. 1, the Agreement and this
23 Amendment No. 1 together constitute the Agreement.
24 3. The Contractor represents and warrants to the County that:
25 a. The Contractor is duly authorized and empowered to sign and perform its obligations
26 under this Amendment No.1.
27
28
1
1 b. The individual signing this Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the Contractor is duly
2 authorized to do so and his or her signature on this Amendment No. 1 legally binds
3 the Contractor to the terms of this Amendment No. 1.
4 4. The parties agree that this Amendment No. 1 may be executed by electronic signature as
5 provided in this section.
6 a. An "electronic signature" means any symbol or process intended by an individual
7 signing this Amendment No. 1 to represent their signature, including but not limited to
8 (1) a digital signature; (2) a faxed version of an original handwritten signature; or (3)
9 an electronically scanned and transmitted (for example by PDF document) version of
10 an original handwritten signature.
11 b. Each electronic signature affixed or attached to this Amendment No. 1 (1) is deemed
12 equivalent to a valid original handwritten signature of the person signing this
13 Amendment No. 1 for all purposes, including but not limited to evidentiary proof in any
14 administrative orjudicial proceeding, and (2) has the same force and effect as the valid
15 original handwritten signature of that person.
16 c. The provisions of this section satisfy the requirements of Civil Code section 1633.5,
17 subdivision (b), in the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (Civil Code, Division 3, Part
18 2, Title 2.5, beginning with section 1633.1).
19 d. Each party using a digital signature represents that it has undertaken and satisfied the
20 requirements of Government Code section 16.5, subdivision (a), paragraphs (1)
21 through (5), and agrees that each other party may rely upon that representation.
22 e. This Amendment No. 1 is not conditioned upon the parties conducting the transactions
23 under it by electronic means and either party may sign this Amendment No. 1 with an
24 original handwritten signature.
25 5. This Amendment No. 1 may be signed in counterparts, each of which is an original, and
26 all of which together constitute this Amendment No. 1.
27
28
2
1 6. The Agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 1 is ratified and continued. All
2 provisions of the Agreement and not amended by this Amendment No. 1 remain in full force and
3 effect.
