County recommends Augusta Staffing for temporary workers contract, cites roughly $30,000 annual savings
Summary
Columbia County staff recommended awarding the temporary workers contract to Augusta Staffing (a local firm) for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2028 with three one-year renewal options, and stated the vendor’s pricing could save about $30,000 per year compared with the incumbent.
Dr. Ukarnney told the Management and Internal Services Committee on May 12 that Columbia County completed a five-year reprocurement for temporary workers and received 19 vendor responses. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Augusta Staffing, a company the presenter said is located in Columbia County near Westtown and offered more aggressive pricing.
Dr. Ukarnney introduced Robert Kelly and his brother Isaac from Augusta Staffing and outlined the proposed contract term: a start date of July 1, 2026, a termination date of June 30, 2028, and three one-year rollover options. The presenter said Augusta’s bid was roughly three percentage points lower than the incumbent’s pricing, which "will shave off about $30,000 per year." Another committee member thanked the incumbent, Express Employment Solutions, noting they had provided long service to the county.
The committee moved the item to consent and seconded it; no roll-call vote or tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Next steps: staff to finalize the contract and proceed with execution and vendor onboarding before the July 1 start date.
