Analysis
The Information Technology department uses temporary staffing for a variety of reasons including contract-for-hire in vacant positions, temporary workload spikes, and special projects on an as needed basis. The State of Texas' Department of Information Resources (DIR) provides an approved competitive bid process for various information technology products and services. Kforce through their DIR contract offers temporary staffing for technology related personnel. The DIR contract began 8/8/13 and will expire 8/7/2016.
Financial Consideration
The City will spend an estimated $200,000 annually on technology related temporary staffing. Payments for these items will be made from various accounts and from salary savings from vacant positions.
