Temporary Personnel Services (NB)
Staff recommends extending the contract for temporary personnel services with Temp Force for one year.
Explanation
City departments sometimes require temporary personnel services for various job duties due to job vacancies, extended absences, special project requirements, etc. A contract for these services was approved by the City Commission on January 12, 2004 with Career Center Inc. d/b/a Temp Force (Temp Force) through December 2006. The contract provides for two-one year extensions upon mutual agreement of the parties and negotiation of the multiplier which is the percentage applied to the hourly wage rate set by the City for each job classification. The wage rate and multiplier combine to provide the billing rate paid to the Contractor. An amendment to the contract for the first one year extension was approved by the City Commission on December 11, 2006.Temp Force has provided responsive, professional and qualified staff under this contract and is willing to maintain the same multiplier rate for the second one-year extension. Staff recommends extending the contract with Temp Force for temporary personnel services for one year.
