Staff Augmentation and Recruiting Services for City Departments

The City of Charlotte is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide staff augmentation and recruiting services across various city departments, supporting operational needs with temporary, long-term, or temp-to-hire personnel. The contract, with an estimated value between five and twenty million dollars, will be awarded based on a best value approach, emphasizing qualifications, experience, approach, and cost-effectiveness, rather than solely on price or guaranteed quantities. The selected vendors will enter into a City-drafted contract governed primarily by the referenced Sample Services Contract and related attachments, including the OMNIA Partners Administration Agreement, with performance to be managed through individual supplement agreements for each assignment. These assignments will specify start and end dates, locations within the city, and performance expectations, but no specific quantities or positions are guaranteed upfront. The procurement process involves a comprehensive submission via the Bonfire e-Procurement Portal, with a deadline of September 4, 2025. Vendors must submit all required forms, including a Price Sheet, Exceptions Form, References, and certifications regarding debarment, lobbying, and environmental standards. The evaluation will prioritize the proposer's qualifications, relevant experience, approach, and ability to meet the city’s needs, with no explicit weights assigned. The contract emphasizes compliance with applicable laws, confidentiality, and environmental purchasing policies, but does not specify federal FAR clauses, detailed inspection procedures, or fixed line-item pricing structures. Payment will be made based on invoices referencing purchase orders issued for each assignment, with the prime contractor responsible for performance and contractual obligations. Overall, the contract aims to provide flexible staffing solutions to support Charlotte’s operational demands while ensuring compliance with city policies and fostering equitable opportunities for diverse business enterprises.
