TITLE: Approve Professional Services Agreement with Cathyjon
Enterprises, Inc. dba HB Staffing for Temporary Labor Services
ABSTRACT:
The City utilizes a professional staffing service to provide temporary labor services for
project work, including summertime cleaning, maintenance, and operations assignments.
In peak times, up to seven laborers are utilized per day to complete projects necessary
to meet expected service levels for cleanliness throughout the City. Staff has completed
a competitive selection process and requests City Council approval to enter into a
three-year agreement with Cathyjon Enterprises, Inc. dba HB Staffing to provide these
services.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve a three-year Professional Services agreement with Cathyjon Enterprises,
Inc. dba HB Staffing for temporary laborer services for project work for a total not -to -
exceed amount of $450,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this contract. It will be
expensed to the appropriate contract and professional and technical services accounts in
the Public Works Department and the Utilities Department.

DISCUSSION:
During the peak summer season, the volume of visitors enjoying the City's parks, streets,
beaches, docks and piers substantially increases. Accordingly, the volume of litter, trash,
and debris along the beaches and surrounding boardwalks, sidewalks, parks, business
districts and common public areas increases as well. In order to meet demand and
maintain beaches at expected levels of cleanliness, the City utilizes a professional staffing
service to provide temporary labor services for project work. The work assignments
include litter picking and cleaning ten public parking lots, removing debris from the City's
ocean and bay beaches, emptying trash containers, cleaning 64 fire rings, and sweeping
3.5 miles of boardwalks, sidewalks, and piers.
Additionally, the Utilities Department utilizes temporary labor services for project work.
These workers are assigned to various projects, including, but not necessarily limited to
street, storm drain and sewer cleaning, graffiti abatement, water and sewer line
excavations, and maintenance of water valves and fire hydrants. Utilizing temporary labor
services for this type of project work allows the Utilities Department to provide the level
of service necessary to sustain operations throughout the year.
On January 8, 2020, the Public Works Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)
for professional staffing services to provide the needed temporary project workers.
Proposals were due January 27, 2020 and the City received three proposals in response
to the RFP. These three firms were evaluated on their qualifications and ability to deploy
services as well as their recent experience in conducting work for contracts of similar
scope. Cathyjon Enterprises, Inc. dba HB Staffing was ranked the highest in technical
scores. Staff reviewed the cost proposal for the highest-ranking firm and found the
proposer's cost to be reasonable and feasible based on previous and comparable
contracted services. Evaluation ratings are displayed in the below table.

The Public Works Department requests approval to enter into a three-year agreement
with HB Staffing for a total not -to -exceed contract amount of $450,000. HB Staffing has
satisfactorily performed the services previously for the City of Newport Beach and
routinely provides similar services through contracts with other agencies. HB Staffing
comes highly recommended, brings valuable experience through its contracts with other
agencies, will satisfy the City's insurance requirements and is fiscally reasonable.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060( c)( 2) ( the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060( c)( 3) ( the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Services.

entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any

the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
