RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa ARC (dba Commercial Support Services), a California nonprofit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $350,000 to provide packet fulfillment services for Print and Mail Services, for the period June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2018, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Department user fees.

BACKGROUND:

Commercial Support Services (CSS) provides employment opportunities to developmentally disabled adults. For serveral years the Print and Mail Services Division has contracted with CSS to fill the low-skill need of assembling informational packets (i.e. packet fulfillment services) for use by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) as well as other County departments. Due to their involvement with and support of Covered California, the volume of work generated by EHSD has remained high. The number of crew members required to meet the need varies from seven to ten crew members with two supervisors.

Approval of this Contract will allow CSS to continue to provide packet fulfillment services through May 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Contract is not approved, sublet packet fulfillment services will not be performed.
