Explanation
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 0540-2009, passed April 20, 2009 authorizing an increase in the obligation of an existing contract for temporary staffing services with Abacus Corporation for the preparation and imaging of tax documents in the Office of the City Auditor, Division of Income Tax. Inadvertently, the ability to increase the rate of pay based on experience and/or time in service for the temporary staffing was omitted. This modification will allow for pay rate increases (from $12.15 to $16.20) based on experience and/or time in service as originally intended in Ordinance No. 0540-2009. The current starting rate is $9.00/hr and bill rate $12.15 per hour. This modification will allow the City to increase the rate of pay to a maximum of $12.00 per hour based on experience and/or time in service, and the maximum rate the City will be billed is $16.20. This modification will give the City of Columbus Income Tax Division the ability to retain experienced and high-quality temporary staff, and to help maintain adequate services to taxpayers.
Abacus' contract compliance number is 52-0554932, expiring on 07/01/2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional funds are required for this modification.
