BACKGROUND
The competitive request for proposals was conducted for Temporary Staffing Services. Due to large turnover and vacancies, temporary services are used to assist with caseload balancing until permanent staff are hired and trained. Also, when grants are awarded on a temporary time, we use temporary staffing instead of requesting additional positions from the county.
• Purchase and Service Contracts containing federal funds of any source, type or amount, must follow Uniform Guidance as codified in 2 C.F.R. Part 200. Per 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(d), Service Contracts of $250,000 or more (threshold based on total cost of award if multiple awards) can be procured per the Competitive Proposal process when the sealed bid procedure is not appropriate for the particular type of service being sought. This competitive RFP process was conducted for Temporary Staffing Services.
• Formal advertisement is not required for these RFP’s; however, both RFP’s were publicized on the County’s website and on the NC DOA Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) site to meet the UG affirmative steps to solicit from M/WBE. Although not required, the Temporary Services was also advertised in the Gazette.
• Temporary Services proposals (4) were received by 5/31/21. Proposals were evaluated only on criteria established in the RFP documents.
• Awards are proposed to the following firms deemed to have the most advantageous proposals taking into account the evaluation criteria identified in the RFP’s. Recommendation for approval is to 22nd Century Technologies in the amount of $340,220.
