Report
Summary
Interim Public Management, LLC (Consultant) previously provided executive level human resources consulting services to the City for a five-month period, from May to October 2017. During that time, the Consultant demonstrated the ability to provide sound and effective services to the City. The City is requesting to amend the existing contract with the Consultant to provide for additional HR executive services over the next 12 months.
Procurement Information
In May 2017, the City received formal approval to enter into a contract with Interim Public Management, LLC for professional executive level consulting services using City of Maricopa Cooperative Contract 17-06. The contract was awarded through a competitive process consistent with the City’s processes, as set forth by Phoenix City Code, chapter 43. The City of Maricopa contract covers various professional executive level consulting services required by the City, and the Consultant has been successful in the delivery of executive consulting services.
The City has determined additional executive consulting services are needed by the Consultant over the next 12 months. In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, normal competition was waived as a result of a Determination Memo citing that there is an unusual nature of the services that require a specific vendor for consistency.
Contract Term
The one-year contract amendment will begin on or about June 30, 2018, and end on or about July 1, 2019.
Financial Impact
The total cost of the amended contract shall not exceed $230,000. Funds are available in the Human Resources Department through salary savings being achieved with a vacant assistant director position.
