RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay up to $258,171 to Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEK Systems, Inc.) for temporary help and recruitment services for the Information Systems Unit during the months of November and December 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This payment for services will result in expenditures of approximately $258,171 which will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEK Systems, Inc.) provides temporary help and recruitment services for the Information Systems Unit. The contractor has been providing qualified contract-to-hire and/or direct placement candidates for hard to fill positions in the Department’s Information Systems Unit since March 1, 2013.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-538-10 with Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEKsystems, Inc.), in an amount not to exceed $4,200,000 for the provision of qualified contract-to-hire and/or direct placement candidates for hard to fill positions in the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

On May 18, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #23-538-11 with Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEKsystems, Inc.) to modify the fee schedule to increase the fees for temporary help services and/or direct placement candidates with no change in the payment limit of $4,200,000 or term January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEK Systems, Inc.) is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of the services it provided under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. That theory provides that where a person has been asked to provide services without a valid contract, and the provider does so to the benefit of the recipient, the provider is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services

The contractor provided services at the Department’s Information Systems Unit’s direction. Services were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. Because of an increase in projects and administrative oversight by both the County and Contractor, use of temporary help and recruitment services exceeded the contract payment limit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The contractor will not be paid for services rendered in good faith to the Health Services Department’s Information Systems Unit.
