Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Contract with Industrial Employers and Distributors' Association (IEDA)
BACKGROUND:
Due to a long-standing contract with IEDA, the County decided to issue Request for
Proposals (RFP) to allow an opportunity for other firms in the area to bid on providing labor
relations and negotiation services to Contra Costa County. The RFP was issued on
December 17, 2010 and the deadline for proposal submission was January 24, 2011; five
firms responded to the RFP. An Evaluation Committee was convened to review the
proposals and their recommendation was to award the contract to IEDA.
IEDA has represented Contra Costa County in labor relations matters for over 36 years and
augments the County’s Labor Relations staff. IEDA has long term, historical knowledge of
the policies, practices and intricacies of the County and its operating departments and is
instrumental in negotiations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The denial of this renewal contract will negatively affect labor relations services and will
significantly impair the County’s ability to negotiate with our recognized employee
organizations.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
