body
BACKGROUND:
On May 10, 2020, the City advertised RFP No. 06-10-20-09 for School Crossing Guard Services. A selection committee evaluated the submittals and recommended award to The Butler Group of South Florida d/b/a NEXTAFF. On September 24, 2020, the City Commission awarded the contract through Resolution No. 2020-149 for a three (3) year period beginning on September 24, 2020 through September 23, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The contract with NEXTAFF is in the final year of the initial term period. On October 26, 2022, NEXTAFF notified the City in writing that, due to the Florida Minimum Wage increase, they are requesting to increase their billing rate from $14.89 per hour to $16.39 per hour. NEXTAFF provided the required documentation to support their claim and requested a ten percent (10%) increase in the contract price. In an effort to provide some assistance, City staff agreed (subject to Commission approval) to an increase of ten percent (10%) during the remainder of the initial term of the agreement for the period retroactive from January 1, 2023, through September 23, 2023. This would result in an increase of approximately $16,500.
Staff’s research has shown the increase is in line with what surrounding agencies are paying for this service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
REVENUES: $ 0
EXPENDITURES: $ 16,500
