Summary & Background: To provide temporary staffing services for the temporary staffing services for the General Primary Election/Nonpartisan Election & Runoff Elections.
Scope of Work: The statewide contract will provide supplemental staffing services to prepare and conduct the above-mentioned scheduled elections. To successfully conduct a county-wide election, the Registration and Elections Department needs to hire approximately 653 to 665 workers. The County is not equipped to manage that workload of recruiting and hiring the mass amount. Thus, it is essential to contract these services to a professional recruitment vendor, to meet the necessary volume of staff for each election. The Department of Registration and Elections recommends approval of statewide contract to provide temporary staffing services for the General Primary Election/Nonpartisan Election and Runoff Elections.
