RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Robert Half International Inc. for continued provision of a Technical Writer/Fiscal Analyst, and to increase the payment amount by $53,647 from $369,088 to a new payment limit of $422,735 with no change to the term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$422,735: Funded with 59% Federal, 35% State, and 6% County revenue. Amount increased by $53,647 to a new payment limit of $422,735, all of which has been budgeted in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) searched for a temporary technical writer with fiscal expertise to document EHSD’s fiscal processes flow. At the time of the search, there were not any positions within EHSD Fiscal Unit that performed this type of work. In March of 2020, EHSD reached out to other temporary employment agencies. Robert Half International was the only agency to propose a resource with the broad knowledge of fiscal operations and technical fiscal writing as well as experience in interviewing fiscal staff and recording operational information in technical terms. A temporary position was created that will not continue beyond the completion of the project, and a contract with modified indemnification language was developed, approved by County Counsel and Risk Management. The original contract was in the amount of $198,448 was approved by the BOS on January 19, 2021 (C.44). Subsequently, a contract amendment was approved by the BOS on January 11, 2022 (C.64) to increase the payment limit to $369,088 and extend the term of the contract from December 31, 2021 to a new term end of June 30, 2022. A second amendment was approved by the BOS on June 7, 2022 (C.72) to extend the term from June 30, 2022 to a new term end of December 31, 2022 with no change to the payment limit. This third amendment is to increase the payment limit by $53,647 to a new payment limit of $422,735.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, EHSD will not be able to complete the project underway with the Contractor.
