RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay $61,615.39 to Spin Recruitment, Inc., a corporation, for advertising services for the Health Services Department’s Personnel Unit provided in good faith for the period February 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This retro payment in the amount of $61,615.39 is funded 100% by County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2022, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Contract #23-467-11 with Spin Recruitment, Inc., to provide advertising services including, developing recruitment advertisements and insertion of advertisements in newspapers, professional journals and internet web pages for the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In June 2022, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Amendment Agreement #23-467-12 with Spin Recruitment, Inc., to add $25,000 to a new total payment limit of $125,000 for additional advertising services including, developing recruitment advertisements and insertion of advertisements in newspapers, professional journals and internet web pages, with no change in the term April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.

Due to staffing shortages and transition of assignments in Health Services Department’s Personnel Unit, the contract was not being monitored closely. The Unit now has dedicated staff to monitor and track the usage of this contract to ensure timely amendments if necessary.

The County has determined that Spin Recruitment, Inc. is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of their services 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, Spin Recruitment will not be paid for services provided to county clients outside of the contract payment limit rendered in good faith.
