To comply with County purchasing policies and procedures, DoIT worked with the Purchasing Division of the Public Works Department to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids from staffing agencies that provide temporary staffing services and are interested in partnering with Contra Costa County. RFP #2403-779 was issued on March 29, 2024, and closed on April 29, 2024. When the bid officially closed on April 29, 2024, the County received fifty-five (55) responses. The Evaluation Committee was convened and spent the next month evaluating each response. After the committee finished their initial evaluation, ten (10) vendors were invited to make a formal presentation to the committee to further highlight their qualifications and to demonstrate their ability to successfully provide the County with qualified candidates. At the conclusion of the presentations, the County selected three (3) vendors to provide temporary staffing services to the County and Robert Half International Inc. was one of the successful bidders. The term of the RFP was three (3) years with two (2) possible one (1) year extensions.

 

On behalf of DoIT, Labor Relations successfully completed the meet and confer process with Local 21 concerning this contract. There is agreement proceed with placing the contract on the 10/22/24 meeting agenda for BOS approval.
