RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY payments made to Howroyd-Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services in the amount of $2,240,716, and Nelson Family of Companies in the amount of $156,305 for temporary employment services provided to County agencies, departments, and offices during the period December 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs were charged to the operating departments that utilized the contracted temporary help services.

BACKGROUND:

The County has traditionally contracted with Temporary Help vendors to assist County agencies, departments, or offices during peak loads, temporary absences, and emergency situations. These temporary services are crucial to assist staff to continue departmental operations through unplanned situations such as leave of absences, a temporary increase of work that makes recruiting and hiring County temporary staff impractical and/or unprecedented events like the pandemic. The contract extensions with Howroyd-Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services, and Nelson Family of Companies expired on November 30, 2020, while Requests for Proposals (RFP) #2101-450 for Contracted Temporary Help Service was in progress.

Due to an administrative oversight, Human Resources discovered that the previous contracts had not been extended during the RFP process to establish new contracts. A ratification of payments is being requested for Howroyd-Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services, and Nelson Family of Companies for the County's use of their services from December 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022. New contracts for Contracted Temporary Help services resulting from RFP #2101-450 will be effective July 1, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Payments made for Contracted Temporary Help Services with Howroyd-Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services, and Nelson Family of Companies will not be ratified by the Board of Supervisors.
