Agenda 02/14/2012 Item #16E22/14/2012 Item 16.E.2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the hourly billing rate and authorize the payment of any associated invoices for temporary employees hired under Solicitation # 09 -5215, Temporary Labor to EJ Services d /b /a Balance Staffing in an estimated amount of $37,000. OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval to pay for services rendered by contract employees hired under the "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" category according to the Purchase Order ( "PO ") terms for Solicitation # 09- 5215, Temporary Labor to EJ Services d/b /a Balance Staffing ( "Balance Staffing "), and to provide independent contract labor services for various County departments to fulfill operational requirements. CONSIDERATIONS: The Department of Facilities Management utilizes laborers to balance maintenance work requests to provide the County with the best and most cost - effective services. The County's standard purchase order terms and conditions are used as the instrument to procure these services. The PO with Balance Staffing for Solicitation # 09 -5215 sets forth hourly rates for three categories of labor depending on skill level. The solicitation also includes a fourth category called "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" where services may be negotiated directly with the Purchasing Department and the contractor on an as needed basis for skilled labor not covered under any of the three established rates. Facilities staff receives quotes from Balance Staffing for designated "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" positions, prior to retaining those contract laborers. Staff believed by obtaining quotes it had satisfied the requirements of the contract allowing the Project Manager and the Contractor to negotiate pricing for additional services. In three instances, the Purchasing Department was not advised that rates had been negotiated. While these rates had been used since September 2010, the Finance Department first noticed this discrepancy in December 2011 and began holding invoices where staff failed to obtain the Purchasing Department's approval of the hourly rate negotiated to hire "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" contract employees from Balance Staffing. Staff is requesting Board approval of the "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" hourly billing rate negotiated between Facilities staff and Balance Staffing as follows: $21.00 and 23.95 (inclusive of vendor mark -up). That hourly rate reflects the contract employee's rate received $15.1 land $17.23 per hour respectively, with the balance reflecting the contractor's mark -up. The Purchasing Department has since reviewed the "Non - Bid Skilled Labor" hourly rates negotiated between Facilities' staff and Balance Staffing and detennined that the hourly rate and markup are consistent with the contract and industry standards. The contract employees were assigned computer -aided design (CAD), electrical, HVAC and structural assignments. This rate is roughly two- thirds (2/3) the cost of a similar skilled full -time employee. The unpaid balance as of January 31, 2012 is roughly $25,000 and it is estimated that the unpaid balance will be $37,000 by February 14, 2012. The term for Solicitation # 09 -5215 is nearing expiration, and in order to clarify the County's labor specifications in the future, the Purchasing Department is initiating a new solicitation, Invitation to Bid (ITB) 12 -5846, Contract Laborers, which includes an overhead pricing system that allows for the Project Manager to negotiate the pay rate based on labor skill level. Packet Page -1813- 2/14/2012 Item 16.E.2. FISCAL IMPACT: Facilities Management's expenses are an estimated $37,000. Funds are budgeted in the Department of Facilities Management's Operating Cost Center (122240). GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney is providing an "after the fact" review of this transaction. Section XV1I of the Board's Purchasing Policy addresses "Unauthorized Purchases" by county employees. Under that section, the policy provides that an unauthorized purchase does not require the county be bound by nor necessitate the county's approval of such purchase. Consistent with that policy, however, the Board can determine whether it is in the best interests of the County and allow and approve the procurement. Pursuant to that policy, the Board is authorized to ratify and approve the $21.00 and $23.95 hourly billing rate staff has applied to "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" contract employees and authorize payment as requested by staff. This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for approval —SRT. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Collier County Commissioners: (1) Approves the hourly billing rates of $21.00 and $23.95 for the "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" category four employees negotiated by Facilities and approved by the Purchasing Department, and (2) Authorizes the payment of any past and future associated invoices for "Non -Bid Skilled Labor" contract employees retained under Solicitation 9 09 -5215 Temporary Laborers in an estimated amount of $37,000.

For general questions, please call the referenced Purchasing Agent at (239) 252 -6098. 6) Method of Source Selection The County is using the Competitive Sealed Bid methodology of source selection for this procurement, as authorized by Ordinance Number 87 -25, and Collier County Resolution Number 2009 -181 establishing and adopting the Collier County Purchasing Policy. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners has adopted a Local Preference "Right to Match" policy to enhance the opportunities of local businesses to receive awards of Collier County contracts. A "local business" is defined as a business that has a valid occupational license issued by either Collier or Lee County for a minimum of one (1) year prior to a Collier County bid or proposal submission that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee Counties from which the vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well -being of either Collier or Lee County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to either Collier or Lee County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier or Lee County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. When a qualified and responsive, non -local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten percent (10 %) of the price submitted by the non -local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e. the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non - local bidder and the lowest local bidder are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Section 287.087 F.S. Revised 1/09 10 Packet Page -1826- 2/14/2012 Item 16.E.2. If the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest local bidder to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non -local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non local bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Section 287.087 F.S. and the lowest non -local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law. Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. Failure on the part of a Bidder to submit this Affidavit with their bid response will preclude said Bidder from being considered for local preference on this solicitation. A Bidder who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year. The County may, as it deems necessary, conduct discussions with responsible bidders determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to solicitation requirements. 6) Award It is the intent of Collier County to award to the lowest, qualified and responsive bidder(s) in accordance with the Method of Source Selection denoted in terms and conditions section five (5) on the basis of Primary and Secondary Awardees basis, and determined by lowest bidder total per category. The categories are: Skilled Laborer, Semi - Skilled Laborer and Unskilled Laborer each category has three line Items. If Bid cannot be awarded as noted herein, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners shall make an award that best suits the needs and is in the interest of Collier County. The contract will be in the form of a standard County Purchase Order. Bidders whose bids, past performance or current status do not reflect the capability, integrity or reliability to fully and in good faith perform the requirements denoted may be rejected as non - responsible. Bids that do not meet all necessary requirements of this solicitation or fail to provide all required information, documents or materials may be rejected as non - responsive.

Any upward price adjustment approved by the County shall impose upon the vendor the requirement to advise and extend credit to the County when costs' similarly decrease.
