The District reserves the right to use more than one agency if the contracted agency cannot fill a vacancy within two weeks. Contractors must provide worker's compensation and health insurance for their employees, and all employees must pass background checks to work on any campus.

The incumbent vendor is Elite Employment Services LLC, and there are no known issues with the current vendor. The estimated not-to-exceed budget for the contract is $600,000, and the District has a preference for local vendors.
