SUBJECT:
A resolution to authorize agreements with vendors to provide temporary and contracted staffing services for the City of Aurora.
PURPOSE:
To staff certain city positions in order to provide necessary services and at the same time reduce labor cost, expedite the hiring process, improve the ability to resource qualified individuals and to retain staffing flexibility.

An RFP for contracting services was posted August 14, 2020. The City received RFP's from twenty four respondents that met the minimum qualifications. All current staffing vendors were provided a RFP packet and given an opportunity to respond.
DISCUSSION:
The proposals were evaluated on responsiveness to the requirements (15%), capacity to provide services (10%), experience to provide services (15%), approach/resourcing workers (15%), ability to source Aurora residents/local agency (15%) and cost (30%).
