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 29, 2015, to increase the payment limit by $227,287 to a new payment limit of $446,365 to continue providing labor negotiations and support services, and to extend the term of the agreement from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract payment limit increase of $227,287, for services IEDA will provide during the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, will be funded initially by the General Fund and subsequently spread to other funds through the Cost Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator's Office is requesting to amend and extend this contract so that the County can continue contracting with IEDA for labor relations and negotiation services. 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.
