Committee approves temporary‑staffing contract with Augusta Staffing, citing cost savings
Summary
The committee approved a new temporary‑staffing contract with Columbia County firm Augusta Staffing, a two‑year agreement with three one‑year renewals projected to save about $30,000 per year compared with the incumbent.
The Management and Internal Services Committee approved a contract May 12 to engage Augusta Staffing for temporary workers beginning July 1, 2026.
According to the presentation, 19 vendors responded to the county's solicitation and Augusta Staffing — a local firm — offered pricing about three percentage points lower than the incumbent, which staff estimated would reduce temporary‑staffing costs by roughly $30,000 annually. "We're recommending entering into contract with them beginning July 1, 2026, terminating June 30th, 2028 with three one‑year rollovers," the presenter said.
Robert Kelly and his brother Isaac were introduced to the committee as representatives of Augusta Staffing. A committee member thanked the incumbent, Express Employment Solutions, for many years of service and said the competitive process is intended to secure better pricing for taxpayers.
The committee moved the item to consent; the transcript shows the motion was seconded and approved by voice consent. The contract details presented in the meeting indicate the base term and renewal options; specific hourly rates and the full contract dollar value were not included in the transcript and should be confirmed in contract records.
