BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Industrial Employers and Distributor's Association (IEDA), effective June 30, 2017, to increase the payment limit by $61,375.05 to a new payment limit of $753,244.05 to continue providing Labor negotiations and support services, and to extend the term of the agreement from June 30, 2017 to September 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract payment limit increase of $61,375.05, for services IEDA will provide during the period of July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, will be funded initially by the General Fund and subsequently spread to other funds through the Cost Plan.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County Administrator's Office is requesting to amend and extend this contract on a short term basis so that the County can continue to work with IEDA for labor relations and negotiation services during the transition to the County's new labor relations and negotiation services provider Liebert Cassidy Whitmore. IEDA has represented

Contra Costa County in labor relations matters for many years and augments the County’s Labor Relations staff. IEDA has long term, historical knowledge of the policies, practices and intricacies of the County and its operating departments and is instrumental in negotiations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the County's ability to negotiate with our recognized employee organizations will be significantly impaired.
