CONSENT AGENDA <br />ANAI VSIq- <br />PeopleReady's bid was disqualified as the mandatory Sworn Statement Under Section 105.08, <br />Indian River County Code on Disclosure of Relationships was not signed or notarized. The sole <br />responsive bidder, A & Associates offered hourly unit rates that were suspiciously low. When <br />provided the bid tabulation showing the extension of their bid prices times the estimated annual <br />hours needed (as shown on the bid form), A & Associates noted they had made an error on their <br />bid form and requested to withdraw, as they cannot provide the services at the rates bid. Staff <br />agrees the work cannot be adequately performed at the prices bid. <br />A & Associates was previously awarded this contract under bid 2015005, but during the first week <br />of service, submitted a request to resign from the contract, citing a misunderstanding of the work <br />expected to be performed by its laborers. This required a rebid, and subsequent award to Labor <br />Finders (now PeopleReady). Staff has not confirmed A & Associates has any additional capacity or <br />understanding of the work to declare them responsible to perform the work required in the <br />current bid. <br />Current vendor PeopleReady has agreed to continue providing services as needed at the previous <br />contract price ($12.14) as approved by the Board, with a $0.15 per hour increase to match the <br />Florida minimum wage increase, for a total hourly rate of $12.29. Staff anticipates a new bid will <br />be opened and presented for award by the end of February, 2018. <br />SOURCE OF FUNDS: <br />The cost to advertise a new bid is estimated to be $90 and will be available in the Road and Bridge - <br />Legal Ads account, 11121441-034910. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the withdrawal of A & Associates Bid and authorize staff to <br />resolicit bids for day labor. Staff also recommends the Board authorize the Purchasing Division to <br />increase the current Road and Bridge Division blanket Purchase Order for day labor services to <br />PeopleReady up to $100,000 to facilitate work though the period of rebid and contract award. <br />122 <br />
