RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Human Resources, or designee, to execute a contract with CPS HR Consulting, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for test rental services for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The costs incurred under this contract are funded through charges to the operating departments as part of recruitment costs.

BACKGROUND:

The County operates under a merit system as laid out in Division 33 of the County Ordinance Code. In a merit system, a recruitment will include one or more types of assessments, such as multiple choice exams. CPS HR Consulting was established in 1985 as a self-supporting public agency providing a full range of integrated HR solutions to federal, state and local governments, public safety, special districts and nonprofit organizations. The organization's focus on public sector means their services meet the requirements of the merit system. The County frequently uses CPS HR Consulting's test rental services. The retroactive effective date of this contract is necessary in order to pay past invoices.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin 605.3, service contracts exceeding $100,000 require the approval of the Board of Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Human Resources Department will be unable to rent test materials to conduct recruitments in order to provide hiring lists for County departments to fill their vacancies.
