TEMP AGENCY SERVICE

Barrow County Schools is soliciting proposals for a temporary agency to provide physical labor personnel, specifically lead labor with an estimated 2,000 annual hours. The contract has an initial term of 12 months, with the possibility of extensions up to a total of 36 months. Qualified agencies must have been in business for at least five years and are responsible for all employer obligations, including payroll taxes, workers compensation, and applicable insurances. Temporary personnel must meet minimum district qualifications, maintain a clean driving record, and undergo criminal background checks and drug testing. Normal working hours are 4:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, though occasional weekend work may be required. The agency must also confirm the availability of seasonal workers within 24 hours of a request. Proposals are due by September 3, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. local time and must be submitted via email to Judy Roberts. The selection process is based on a 100-point scoring system evaluating total cost, the service provider management plan, ability to meet requirements, references, and the personnel benefits package. Local vendors within 25 miles of Barrow County may receive ten additional preference points. Required submission documents include a proposal fee schedule, a management plan, a benefits package, three references, a non-collusion affidavit, and verification of compliance with federal work authorization programs under O.C.G.A. 13-10-91. Invoicing is to be conducted on a weekly basis and must include detailed employee hours and pay rates.
