THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO SENIOR
HOME AND HEALTH CARE PROGRAM FOR
PROVIDING SENIOR COMPANION SERVICE
BY THE CITY SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM.
The City of San Bernardino has the only SCP Program in this region; consequently,
other.governmenta1 agencies seek assistance through our program to provide com-
panions for their areas. The County of San Bernardino Senior Home and Health
Care is one such organization which has requested services of companions for which
they totally reimburse the City. There is no additional cost to the City for
recruiting and assigning the companion to serve the Senior Home and Health Care
clients.
Recommend adoption of the Resolution.
JUSTIFICATION FOR PLACEMENT ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA
This document establishes an agreement for providing services which begin on
July I, 1989. The documents required review by City Attorney, Council and Risk
Management Offices in both City and County. This processing has delayed completion
until now. Therefore, in order to have the document ready for the new fiscal year
it is requested that the Resolution and Agreement be placed on the Supplemental
Agenda for July 3, 1989.

requested by Contractor staff.

The Vendor agrees that all suitable employment openings of the
Vendor which exist at the time of the execution of this Agreement
and those which occur during the performance of this Agreement,
including those not generated by this Agreement and including those
occurring at an establishment of the Vendor other than the one
where in the Agreement is being performed but excluding those of
independently operated corporate affiliates, shall be listed at
an. appropriate local office of the state employment service system
wherein the opening occurs. The Vendor further agrees to provide
such reports to such local office regarding employment openings
and hires as may be required.

pursuant to this paragraph shall be made at least concurrently
with the use of any other recruitment source or effort and shall
involve the normal obligations which attach to the placing of a
bona fide job order, including the acceptance of referrals of
veterans and nonveterans. The listing of employment openings does
not require the hiring of any particular job applicant or from
any particular group of job applicants, and nothing herein is
intended to relieve the Vendor from any requirements in Executive
Orders or regulations regarding nondiscrimination in employment.
Whenever the Vendor becomes contractually bound to the listing
provisions of this paragraph, it shall advise the employment service
system in each state where it has establishments of the name and
location of each hiring location in the state. As long as the
Vendor is contractually bound to these provisions and has so advised
the state system, there is no need to advise the state system of
subsequent contracts. The Vendor may advise the state system when
it is no longer bound by this contract clause. .
This paragraph does not apply to the listing of employment openings
which occur and are filled outside the 50 states, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

the Vendor proposes to fill from within his own organization or
to fill pursuant to a customary and traditional employer-union

opening once an employer decides to consider applicants outside
of his own organization or employer-union arrangement for that
opening.

to, openings which occur in the following job categories:
Production and nonproduction: plant and office: laborers and
mechanics: supervisory and nonsupervisory: and technical,

of more than three days' duration, and part-time employment.
It does not include openings which the Vendor proposes to fill
from within his own organization or to fill pursuant to a
customary and traditional employer-union hiring arrangement
nor openings in an educational institution which are restricted
to students of that institution. Under the most compelling
circumstances, an employment opening may Dot be suitable for
listing, including such situations where the needs of the Federal
Government cannot reasonably be otherwise supplied, where listing
would be contrary to national security, or where the requirement
of listing would otherwise not be for the best interest of
the Federal Government.
"Appropriate office of the state employment service system"
means the local office of the federal/state national system
of public employment offices with assigned responsibility for
serving the area where the employment opening is to be filled,
including the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and

of this paragraph, actions for noncompliance may be taken in
accordance with the rules, regulations, and relevant orders
of the Federal Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to the Act.

employees and applicants for employment notices in a form to
be prescribed by the Director of the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs, provided by or through the Contracting

and advance in employment qualified disabled veterans and
