SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to
execute on behalf of the County a service contract with Manpower,
Inc . for the period August 1 , 1989 through July 31 , 1991 to provide
County departments appropriate training in office automation through
the use of Manpower' s Skillware training package . The cost to the
County will vary depending upon the amount of service units utilized .
The County is not obligated under the terms of this contract to any
minimum number of service units .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the recommended action is approved, it will result in departments
being charged for the training provided to staff . The price per
person depends on which training session is taken and the number of
people being trained simultaneously. Costs will vary from $450 per
three-day session for an individual to $192 per person when five
people are trained simultaneously. Half-day classes would vary from
$80-$90 per person.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The County proposes to contract with Manpower, Inc . , to provide
training to County departments in the use of personal computer
software plus training in the use of mainframe installed office
automation software such as PROFS and DW370 . Data Processing
Services does not currently have staff to provide all the office
automation training required by County departments . To supplement
the training offered by Data Processing Services , it is in the County ' s
best interest to contract with vendors for suitable classes at competi-
tive prices .
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, departments will have. to obtain
their own software training for both personal computers and office
