Background

On February 1, 2008, the Board approved release of RFQ #Q2008-17 to establish a list of prequalified temporary employment services agencies from which temporary employment services can be purchased, as needed, over the next three-year period.

The RFQ covered four major categories of temporary staffing: office/clerical, field/technical, laboratory support, and computer-related services. When temporary staffing is needed, competitive bids are solicited from all prequalified providers listed for the respective job category. Final selection is based on the cost to AQMD, the fit between job skills of temporary personnel available and AQMD's staffing needs, the pay provided the temporary employee, and the ability of the temporary employment services agency to provide any related services that might be needed. If temporary staffing needs arise that cannot be met by any of the prequalified agencies, other agencies may be selected to provide such staffing services.

A technical error resulted in eight agencies that met requirements having been omitted from the list of prequalified temporary services providers approved by the Board in June.

Proposal

Staff recommends approval of the agencies listed in the attachment as prequalified to provide AQMD temporary employment services, as needed, through June 30, 2011, and that these agencies be added to the list of agencies approved by the Board in June.

Resource Impacts

There are no direct resource impacts relating to the prequalification of temporary employment services providers. The amount allocated for temporary employment services for each organizational unit is approved by the Board as part of AQMD’s budget process.
