CITY COMMISSIONER MEETING
STAFF REPORT
ITEM: Continuation of Temporary Employee contract with Remedy
Intelligent Staffing.
SUBMITTED BY: George Foster, Human Resource Manager
DATE: March 21, 2000
BACKGROUND: ~ There is often a need for a temporary employee to fill in for
employees that maybe out due to medical reasons, to fill in for a
vacant position while it is being filled, or to perform special
projects. Normally the requirement for a temporary is on short
notice and for an unknown length of time. In the case of a vacant
position being filled, a temporary maybe utilized for a period of
from 8 to 12 weeks.
On January 25, 1999, the City Commissioners accepted a bid for
supplying temporary employment services for the City of Atlantic
Beach. We were later advised that the company had been
purchased by another company and could no longer honor their
contract. Therefore, in February 1999, the Commission awarded
the bid to the next best bid that met the specifications, i.e., Remedy
Intelligent Staffing.
Six temporary agencies responded to a bid for temporary services.
The lowest bidder was determined using a "weighted" total cost
figure. That is, the hourly rate for the four major categories of
temporaries utilized by the City times the total estimated hours
utilized for each category.
FUNDING: There are no funds budgeted. Funding is normally from the salary
account of the vacant position for which the temporary is being .
utilized. Prior to the use of a temporary, the Department Head
must submit a written request, Finance verifies funding is available,
and the City Manager approves or disapproves the request.
REQUESTED ACTION: Confirm approve the continuation of contract with Remedy Staffing
as primary company to provide Temporary Employees for the City.
