The <br />contract is utilized by several departments, but primarily Road and Bridge for general labor and <br />flagging. The contract is currently on its last renewal, set to expire December 31, 2017. <br />The current hourly rate under the bid is $12.09. Staff has received a request from People Ready <br />to match the Florida minimum wage increase of $0.05 for 2017. This request reflects an <br />increase of 0.4 percent and result in an hourly rate of $12.14. If approved by the Board, the <br />increase would be effective for workers utilized beginning on January 11, 2017. <br />The terms of the annual contract state any change in price, terms or conditions shall be <br />accomplished by written amendment to this contract with final approval requiring Board action. <br />It further states the vendor, for good cause, upon 90 days prior written notice may cancel this <br />contract. The County retains the right to cancel this contract, with or without good cause, upon <br />30 days prior written notice. <br />Based on 2016 utilization, Road and Bridge estimates 34,592 day labor hours to be required for <br />the period January 11, 2017 through the expiration of the contract on December 31, 2017. The <br />current and requested rate costs are detailed below. <br />immewars'iCurrent <br />Rate ($12rQ9,7At <br />Adjust fo"rigin[Wage ($12;P_47 <br />34,592 <br />$418,217.28 <br />$419,946.88 <br />Total Increase for Road and Bridge <br />$1,729.60 <br />Several other departments also utilize this contract for as needed labor.
