SERVICES
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
I Approve the Request for Proposals for-labor relatiorts services, Specification No. 90597.
2. Authorize distribution of the Request for Proposals.
3. Authorize.the City Administrative Officer to award a contract if contract prices are within
the cost estimate of$40,000..
DISCUSSION
The City of San Luis Obispo has contracted with the firm of William Avery & Associates since,
1989 for labor relations services.. Four labor relations consulting firms were interviewed prior to
selecting William Avery & Associates and the contract has been renewed periodically since that
time. Services provided have included negotiations with bargaining units, grievance handling
and processing, and labor relations advice and consultation. While William Avery & Associates
has provided necessary and timely service to the City over the past several years, staff feels it is
prudent to once again examine labor relations options to ensure the best possible service to the
City.
Since the initial contract with William Avery & Associates, many staff changes have taken place
at the City bringing new skills, experience, and perspectives. Staff believes it is time to ensure
that the labor relations
tions consultant offers the most complementary skill set to that of internal staff.
The request for proposal process ensures that staff articulates their expectations clearly and the
evaluation on of proposals will be centered upon complementary skills and the ability to work with
staff on longer term labor relations strategies.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2005-01 Financial Plan includes an appropriation of $40,000 for consultant services for
negotiations with the various labor groups.
Council Agenda Report—Request for proposals for Labor Relations Services
Mage 2
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue the status quo: Given the discussion Above,, staff feels it prudent to eiarnine
options to ensure the best possible service to the City. Since a, request for-proposal Will be
sent to William Avery& Associates, this may ultimately be the outcome.
2. Conduct negotiations in-house. Due to the complex nature of 'labor relations laws and
regulations, it is prudent to hire an outside consultant to advise Human Resources staff and
the CAO on labor relations strategies and participate at the bargaining table.
