STAFF REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2020
PREPARED BY: Stephen Y. Aryan, Risk Manager
REQUEST: Approval of a Human Resources and Risk Management Vendors
List for authorized vendors and service providers in FY 2020/21.
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Approve an exception to purchasing requirements as provided by Section
3.30.160 (K) of the Palm Desert Municipal Code for Fiscal Year 2020/21;
and
2. Approve and authorize staff to use vendors on the Human Resources
and Risk Management Authorized Vendors and Service Providers List for
FY 2020/21.
Strateqic Plan Obiective
This item is not related specifically to the Palm Desert Strategic Plan; however, some of
the services provided do indirectly assist in implementing the Plan's goals. For example,
staff development is one of the services indicated. Engaging and educating staff on
current trends and best practices benefits the City's overall mission and fosters
creativity and innovation.
Background
The Human Resources and Risk Management Departments utilize a small group of
vendors and service providers on a regular or as -needed basis. The vendors identified
on the attached list are by their nature unique, as noted, and staff is requesting an
exemption from regular bidding procedures for these professional services and
supplies. In the case of medical providers, toxic substance testing, and facility
restoration services, these services are generally used on an emergency basis.
Due to set-up charges involved with the City's proprietary artwork (i.e. City seal and
logo), it is not cost effective to bid custom recognition items each year (e.g. service
award pins, business card and custom recognition items) from the identified vendors.
Staff receives bids for these items every two to three years.

Approval of the attached vendors list will simplify the purchasing process for certain
materials and professional services, especially emergency services, for which bidding is
not practical. Therefore, staff respectfully requests an exception to the standard
purchasing procedures as outlined in the Palm Desert Municipal Code (Section
3.30.160 (K).
Purchases and/or services valued at more than $50,000 will follow the standard
procedure for procurement, except for emergency restoration items that are likely
covered under the City's property insurance program.
Fiscal Analysis
With the exception of emergency restoration and/or air quality testing services, these
expenditures are included in the FY 2020/21 budget. There is no additional fiscal impact
beyond what was presented to the City Council at a City Budget Study Session earlier
this year.
