AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute a Professional Services
Agreement and Extensions With Robert Half Technology for Temporary Technical
Support.
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2014
PREPARED BY: Information Systems Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute a Professional
Services Agreement and extensions with Robert Half Technology
for temporary technical support.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the past two and a half years, the Information Systems Division
(ISD) has utilized a part-time contract employee to help cover the
desktop support workload. Most recently, that employee, contracted
through Adecco, secured a full time job elsewhere. Staff has selected Robert Half Technology over
Adecco to fill this position because their profit and overhead load per hour is significantly less than
Adecco, and Robert Half is known for attracting highly qualified technology candidates.
The day-to-day activities of this contract position include troubleshooting desktop PC problems, installing
software, assisting City staff with technical questions, and completing other related tasks as assigned by
ISD staff.
The proposed contract with Robert Half Technology is for 24 months, and is for an amount not to exceed
$110,000 for that two-year period.
Staff recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute the Professional Services Agreement
and up to two two-year extensions of the Professional Services Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: This agreement provides the staffing flexibility needed by the Information
Systems Division at the lowest cost.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Information Systems Division (100411.7323)
