A6 # ly. TITLE:
MTG. 2/12/98 UPDATING TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT
DEPT. JJR AGENCY CONTRACTS
I RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 9 8 -VA approving temporary employment agency
contracts.
I
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In 1990, the Human Resources Department centralized the function of procuring
temporary employment services for the City by consolidating the use of approved
agencies. This was done in order to monitor costs more effectively, and to ensure
consistency of rates and services. The City has contracted with three agencies since
1994. Due to the pending termination of these contracts , Human Resources
reopened the bidding process and interviewed a number of employment agencies for
consideration. As a result, five temporary employment agencies are being
recommended to Council for contract services.
I 1. Manpower Temporary Services
2. Remedy Intelligent Staffing
3. The Eastridge Group
4. Thomas Staffing
I 5. Volt Services Group
It is necessary to have more than three agencies under contract with the City for a
number of reasons. The unemployment rate has dropped and there is a higher
demand for, and a shortage of supply in, temporary employees. The City may need to
call several agencies to fill a position. This number also allows flexibility in
choosing those agencies who specialize in various service areas at the most
reasonable cost.
Each contract will be in effect for one year, and may be extended for three (3)
additional one (1) year periods by the City Manager based on a review of satisfactory
performance and not to exceed the amount appropriated in the current budget for
temporary services.
Temporary employment services are utilized on an as needed basis for limited or
interim assignments. Typically, the needs arise as a result of an urgent or critical
vacancy or when specialized skills are necessary for a specific assignment.
I FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for temporary employment services are included in the departmental operating
budgets for Fiscal Year 1997-l 998. The total temporary services appropriation in the
