BACKGROUND:
Union County’s Water Department is seeking temporary staffing services to fill Field Technician positions on an as-needed basis. These temporary employees will support field crews responsible for maintaining water and sewer infrastructure throughout the County. This Contract will be used to temporary fill positions while recruitment of vacancies is being conducted.
The Procurement Department partnered with the UC Water to issue Request for Proposals #2025-050 Field Tech Temporary Staffing. On August 21,2025, twenty-two proposals were received and reviewed by an evaluation team in accordance with applicable evaluation criteria for this project. The top ranked three firms were invited to shortlist interview/presentations. As a result, the team requests approval to enter into a contract with the top 2 scoring/ranked preferred offerors, SAGH Staffing, Inc. dba AtWork Franchise, LLC, and Blue Arbor, Inc., to provide Temporary Staffing Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated annual cost for this service is $150,000. Since the contracts contain an initial term of two years with three one-year renewal options, a total of $750,000 is estimated to be spent. Funding is available in the adopted FY2026 budget with future expenditures subject to annual BOCC budget appropriation.
