During the course of this Agreement, the City shall provide adequate work space for Contract Worker and such other related facilities as may be required by Contract Worker to carry out its obligation enumerated herein. The only services authorized are those services specifically requested by City, and agreed to by the Parties. By providing the services, Contractor is certifying the services provided are in accordance with this Agreement's terms and conditions. City reserves the right to deny payment of any temporary personnel services not authorized under this agreement. Fees Contract Worker's hourly pay rate will be negotiated on an individual basis prior to the start of assignment; and will be based upon the Contract Worker's category hourly rate range and will be dependent upon skill level and job requirements.

Administrative Services Human Resources 1635 Faraday Avenue | Carlsbad, CA 92008 | 442-339-2440 Memorandum January 30, 2024 To: Geoff Patnoe, Assistant City Manager From: Debbie Porter, Sr Management Analyst Via: Laura Rocha, Deputy City Manager, Administrative Services Re: Master Service Agreement for Temporary Staffing Services (Districts - All) This memorandum provides the background and justification for the request to approve an agreement with G&M Hire Enterprises, LLC, dba AtWork Personnel Services, for a period of 5 years not to exceed $100,000 per agreement year. Background The Human Resources Department continuously maintains a master agreement for temporary staffing services that may be used by all departments city-wide if they need extra help on a short-term temporary basis due to unforeseen circumstances. If a department uses the services, they pay for them from their own budget. The current agreement for temporary staffing services expires March 7, 2024. We recently conducted an RFP process (RFP24-09) and selected AtWork Personnel Services to continue providing service to the city. Recommended Action Approve agreement for temporary staffing services. Fiscal Impact The FY 2023-2024 city budget includes the funding for this contract. DocuSign Envelope ID: C2897864-CD2E-44EF-A583-062728A680BB {city of Carlsbad
