ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
MEETING DATE: July 8, 2021
PREPARED BY: Cora L. Gaugush, Management Specialist II
REQUEST: Streamline the use of vendors for the Risk Management and Human
Resources by granting exception to bidding requirements and approving
Vendor lists for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
___________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Grant an exception to the purchasing requirements of the Palm Desert
Municipal Code, as provided for in Section 3.30.160 (K);
2. Approve the Vendor List; for Risk Management and Human Resources;
and,
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts as needed and
recommended by staff during Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Strategic Plan
This item is not related specifically to the objectives of the Strategic Plan; however, the
net result permits staff to respond quickly and efficiently, in the best interest of the city to
a variety of situations.
Background Analysis
The Risk Management and Human Resources Department utilizes a variety of vendors
and service providers for various items and services. The vendors and services listed
are used because they offer immediate accessibility, wholesale and/or discounted pricing,
and/or because they are the only local source. The list also includes vendors that by
their nature are unique, such as applicant skills testing. In the case of medical
providers, toxic substance testing, and facility restoration services, these services are
generally used on an emergency basis.
Risk Management is also seeking approval to utilize vendors on the Public Works
Vendor Lists, approved by City Council on June 10, 2021. Taking into account the
recent re-distribution of responsibilities, this approval will allow for items of work related

to remediation and maintenance under the purview of Risk Management to move
forward in an efficient manner, without duplicating efforts.
Section 3.30.160 (K) of the Municipal Code gives the authority to obtain routine and
recurring services, supplies, and maintenance using one of these vendors. The approval
of these lists will simplify the process to purchase and acquire items and services needed
during events where time is of the essence.
Purchases and/or services valued at more than $50,000 will follow the standard
procedure for procurement, as outlined in the Municipal Code, with the exception of
emergency items of work, for instance, toxic remediation and/or restoration caused by
such damage.
Fiscal Analvsis
Funding for routine and estimated emergency purchases (i.e., employee medical,
business cards, biohazard clean-up etc.) are included in the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Human
Resources and Emergency Management budgets.
Prior years expenditures in these categories have been less than $25,000 annually.
