CONSENT AGENDA Based on 2013 utilization, Road and Bridge estimates 23,296 day labor hours to be required for the period January 1, 2014 through the expiration of the contract on September 30, 2014. The costs per rate option are: Several other departments also utilize this contract for as needed labor. In total, they have set aside approximately $60,000 for the remainder of the FY for as needed day labor. Should that entire allotment be required by the end of the FY the minimum wage increase would result in an additional $1,020 across the departments, or the full requested increase an overall $1,500 increase. Martin County received bids on September 11, 2013 for day labor services with the low (awarded) bid by Pacesetter Personnel Services at $11.06 per hour and the other two bids at $12.25 and $12.30 per hour (Labor Ready did not bid). The City of Titusville opened bids for day labor on September 20, 2013. They received only one bid, which was just over $12 00 per hour. Finally, the City of St. Augustine awarded their recent labor contract to Labor Ready for a rate of $11.57 per hour, with the other proposer submitting a price of $15 per hour. Alternatives: 1. Reject the request for the hourly rate increase in its entirety and rebid if Labor Ready submits a written request to terminate the contract for good cause as a result of the rejection. 2. Accept the request for the hourly rate increase, but only to $11.28 per hour to accommodate the increase to Florida's minimum wage. Reject the cost of doing business increase. Rebid, if Labor Ready requests termination as a result. 3. Accept the request for the entire increase to $11.37 per hour. FUNDING: The requested additional funds are available in the Road and Bridge Division account 11121441-033490 for Other Contractual Services. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to select Alternative 2, approval of increase to offset minimum wage increase only, and authorize the Purchasing Division to issue blanket purchase orders at the new hourly rate for the period beginning the date of Board authorization through September 30, 2014 with Labor Ready. 26 Hou t Ciq t I 5t y x 1 .
