Temporary Personnel Services

The solicitation numbered 22033 issued by the City of Opelika, Alabama, pertains to procuring Temporary Personnel Services under NAICS code 561320. The requirement encompasses providing flexible staffing solutions across multiple city departments, with specific temporary personnel roles including Technician (Accounting), Laborer, Administrative Assistant, Customer Service Representative, City Services Technician, and other general positions as needed. The solicitation, posted on June 4, 2024, centers on vendors submitting markup percentages for each labor category rather than detailed pricing or quantities. Bid tabulations from multiple vendors such as Burt Employment, Surge Staffing LLC, LanceSoft, Inc., and Providence Staffing LLC, detail their proposed markup rates, which vary typically between 25% and 37%. These markups indicate the vendors’ pricing strategies but do not constitute contractual clauses or prices binding under contract terms. The solicitation lacks detailed contract clauses, special requirements, or extensive terms and conditions; no FAR clauses, payment instructions, or evaluation criteria are provided, and the basis of award remains unspecified. Performance under this solicitation involves timely placement of qualified temporary staff to support ongoing city operations across Alabama, though specific performance metrics, service level agreements, or acceptance criteria are not defined in the documents. The place of performance is broadly identified as the City of Opelika within Alabama, with acceptance presumably at city facilities, though explicit inspection or acceptance procedures are not specified. Administrative and contractual details such as contracting officer contacts, invoicing methods, or special provisions are absent, indicating that the documentation primarily focuses on bid-level pricing data and service categories rather than complete contract structure or award methodology. As such, the solicitation forms the basis for selecting a vendor to provide temporary personnel according to city staffing needs, relying principally on markup-based pricing proposals from competing staffing firms.
