Description: Metrolink Parking Structure Finance: Agenda Item No. 6 2-1 -20io CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subject: Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Services with MuniTemps for temporary services of Interim Construction/Survey Manager in the Public Works Division. Background: On November 9, 2009 the City Manager approved an Agreement with MuniTemps to provide the temporary services of an Interim Construction/Survey Manager to supervise the Construction/Survey Section of the Public Works Division while the City recruits for a permanent employee to fill the position. The Agreement provides that MuniTemps will provide the services of Mr. Eddy Jan, in the position of Construction/Survey Manager, at a rate of$77 per hour for a total not to exceed amount of$24,900. The majority of this cost is being charged to projects in the Capital Improvement Program(CIP). Staff has been working with the Human Resources Departments to recruit a permanent Construction/Survey Manager. In order to insure a sufficient quantity of qualified candidates, the recruitment was left open for a period of 47 days. Interviews were recently completed with the final candidates and a selection has been made. The successful candidate has accepted the job offer and can start work the day after the Mayor and Common Council approve the appointment which is planned for the January 19 City Council meeting. Eddy Jan has been working approximately 36 hours per week. At that rate, the current funding in the amount of$24,900 will be expended by mid January, 2010. Eddy Jan has been providing invaluable assistance on the Metrolink parking structure project and other CIP projects in addition to supervising the construction/survey operations. Staff is proposing to retain Eddy Jan for an additional time of approximately one and a half months to provide for a transition for the new Construction/Survey Manager so as not cause delays with projects currently underway, particularly the Metrolink parking structure project. Mr. Jan's contractual expenses will be charged to the Metrolink parking structure project and other specified CIP projects where his assistance may be needed, i.e., there will be no burden to the General Fund. Therefore, staff is requesting that the funding for the Agreement with MuniTemps be increased by an additional $20,000 so that Mr. Jan's services can be retained to provide a transition period for the new Construction/Survey Manager. Financial Impact: Funding for Amendment No. 1 is available in the FY 2009/10 Budget in Account No. 242-362- 5504-7576, Metrolink Parking Structure and the various Capital Improvement Program projects that fund construction/survey activities.
