S33-T25055-A1 – Amend Ordinance No. 2014-925, passed on October 8, 2014, to increase spending authority from $75,000,000.00 to $77,000,000.00 for Temporary Employee Services program for the Human Resources Department.

Specific Explanation: The Director of the Human Resources Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an amendment to Ordinance No. 2014-925 to increase spending authority from $75,000,000.00 to $77,000,000.00 for Temporary Employee Services program for the Human Resources Department.

The contract was awarded on October 8, 2014 by Ordinance No. 2014-925 for a three-year term with two one-year options, in the original amount of $75,000.000.00. Expenditures as May 18, 2018 totaled $56,538,826.83. The current $75,000,000.00 spending authority is to cover the original three (3) years, plus two (2) one-year options.  The $2,000,000.00 increase includes $1,384,458.91 that was spent on Hurricane Harvey restoration and has since been reimbursed by FEMA and State Grants Office of the Governor. The remaining $615,541.09 will serve as a contingency for future catastrophic events.

The HR Department has had responsibility for the temporary employee services program since the early 1980s. HR’s Temporary Employee Services Program (HRTES) section assists customer city departments with the acquisition of temporary employees and information technology staffing resources. HRTES performs all acquisition and ongoing contract administration tasks, which allows city departments to focus on their project tasks and deadlines.

Various contracts were awarded with a 5% goal for M/WBE participation. Currently, each contractor is achieving the required M/WBE participation goal. The Office of Business Opportunity will continue to monitor each contract.

Funding for this item is included in the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policy Ordinance 2014-1078.
