Temporary Employment Services

The City of Aztec, located in San Juan County, New Mexico, is seeking a qualified firm to provide temporary employment services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered 2026-883. The procurement aims to establish a contract for supplying temporary technical, non-technical, and skilled personnel across multiple occupational categories, including office/clerical staff, administrative support, light industrial workers, craft workers, laborers, mechanics, computer personnel, engineers, drafters, and surveyors. Proposals will be evaluated based on four key criteria: organizational experience (30 points), organizational references (20 points), demonstrated competence (30 points), and cost (20 points), with potential additional New Mexico preference points for resident and veteran-owned businesses. The initial contract term will include automatic renewal provisions for four consecutive one-year periods, contingent upon annual City Commission appropriations. Proposals are due on October 20, 2025, with an anticipated contract award following City Commission approval. The pricing model will be structured as a percentage markup for temporary personnel, with contractors required to complete a detailed Fee Calculation and Cost Form specifying markup percentages for different job classifications.

The RFP includes provisions for New Mexico business preferences, potentially advantaging resident businesses and veteran-owned businesses during the evaluation process. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the City reserves the right to utilize multiple staffing sources to ensure comprehensive coverage of temporary workforce needs. Additional services such as drug testing and certified payroll will be priced separately from the primary staffing markup. The contract structure allows the City flexibility in temporary staffing while maintaining clear performance standards and cost controls. Though a specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a potentially significant annual investment in temporary employment services. Contractors will be expected to demonstrate robust organizational capabilities, provide comprehensive references, and maintain competitive markup rates across various job classifications to be considered for the contract.
