COSTA DATE: February 25, 2003 COUNTY Yp�xL SUBJECT: Contracted Temporary Help SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Human Resources Director, or designee, to execute contract amendments Venturi Staffing Services and TSU Staffing to extend the terms from January 31 through June 30, 2083, and to increase the fiscal year 2002/2003 payment limits each by $508,000 to new payment limits of $1,000,000 to provide temporary help to County agencies, departments or offices. FISCAL. IMPACT The extension of these contracts will benefit the County by ensuring that for the remainder of fiscal year 02-03, the mark-up rates will remain at the current level established by the original contract in 1990 and the rates will not increase. A Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued soliciting new firms, however, rates for the new contracts for fiscal year 03-04 may significantly increase. BACKGROUND The County has been contracting with these agencies continually since October of 1996 and the extension will ensure that there will be no interruption in services to County departments. The County frequently requires temporary help to assist County agencies, departments, or offices during peak loads, temporary absences and emergency situations. It is in the economic interest of the County to provide such temporary help by contract with temporary help firms since they include all insurance coverages in their rapes, thus reducing future County liabilities. Temporary help obtained under these contracts may not be used in place of employees in the case of a labor dispute or for more than 90 days for any single instance of peak load, temporary absence or emergency situations as governed by State law.
