Recommendation of Award, 2015000001, Personnel Hearing Officer
b
The Water Authority solicited proposals from qualified vendors to provide Personnel Hearing Officer services to hear disciplinary appeals from employees. The Water Authority Merit System Ordinance provides that employees are allowed to appeal disciplinary decisions to a Personnel Hearing Officer.
The RFP was posted on the Sicommnet Site, advertised in the local newspapers, and in the Bar Bulletin. Three responses were submitted for evaluation.
The three responses were reviewed, evaluated and scored by an ad hoc consisting of former City Attorney Robert M. White, County Attorney Randy M. Autio and former City Counsel Attorney Bruce Thompson. The ad hoc committee found all the respondents qualified to perform the work and recommended the award of contracts to all three RFP respondents.
Therefore, the Executive Director recommends the following individuals be awarded contracts:
Pilar Vaile, Esq.
Rita G. Siegel, Esq.
Judith Danzo, Esq.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding to support this contract will come directly out of the FY15 Water Authority budget and will not require additional appropriations.
