Description
The City of Mesa issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP #2023071) for a three‑year, firm‑fixed‑price “requirements” contract to supply temporary agency workers across five occupational groups (administrative, light industrial, medium industrial, arts & culture, and parks & recreation). The contract allows multiple awardees, with the primary vendor receiving the first requisition and secondary vendors contacted after 24 hours for hard‑to‑fill positions. Contractors must handle recruiting, payroll (weekly for Groups I‑III, bi‑weekly for Groups IV‑V), background and DOT‑compliant drug testing, and provide detailed invoicing and reporting. The annual budget is $5 million, with a historic spend of about $5.2 million. The award was split between Marathon Staffing Corporation, Inc. (primary) and 22nd Century Technologies, Inc. (secondary).
