Management, LLC, and Staffmark Investment, LLC, for Temporary Professional Staffing Services for a Total Combined Amount Not to Exceed $1,000,000.00 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of professional services Agreements with Abacus Service Corporation, Smith Temporaries d/b/a CornerStone Staffing, Lone Star NOC, Inc. d/b/a LoneStar Corporate Services, Makro Technologies, Inc., P.I.E. Management, LLC, and Staffmark Investment, LLC, for temporary professional staffing services for a total combined amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00. DISCUSSION: These Agreements will be used to provide temporary professional Staff to fill positions primarily vacated by City employees who are Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and who will be working on the Enterprise Resource Planning II (ERP II) project. The recommended agencies were chosen based on evaluation factors listed in the Request for Proposals (RFP) including their experience with professional staffing, governmental experience, references, financial condition and cost. The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee which consisted of Staff from the City Manager's Office, the Financial Management Services, and the Public Events departments. Most SMEs will begin participating in ERP II in February 2013. Depending on an individual's expertise and background, a typical SME could be engaged from 500 hours to 1,000 hours, annually. Heavy SME participation is critical to ensure a successful implementation. Because of SME participation on the ERP II project, it will be difficult for City departments to maintain current service levels during the implementation process without these employees. In order to reduce this potential operational impact and ensure adequate participation, departments will be able to backfill SMEs during the project using these requested Agreements. The ERP Phase II project will pay for backfill costs while the department will continue to fund the full-time employee, thereby creating no new net impact on departmental budgets. As staffing needs arise, Staff will notify the agencies of the needs and requirements. Each agency will then compete to provide the highest quality employee at the best value. This competition not only ensures the best value for the City, but it will likely expedite the process of staffing the position. The competitive approach is a best practice when seeking temporary staffing. BID ADVERTISEMENT-This Request for Proposal (RFP)was advertised every Wednesday in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram from August 29, 2012 through September 26, 2012. Sixty-eight vendors were solicited including sixteen vendors from the purchasing vendor database, 12 proposals were received. M/WBE -A waiver of the goal for MBE\SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=1763 1&councildate=12/4/2012 10/23/2015 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. AGREEMENT TERMS - Upon Council's approval, these Agreements will begin December 5, 2012, and end November 30, 2013. RENEWAL OPTIONS -These Agreements may be renewed for up to three successive one-year terms at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term. Staff anticipates that the costs for renewal years will be the same as the first year. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund.
