The University awarded a contract for temporary food service workers from All Team Staff.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
Emergency purchase JCM326 was declared in order to purchase from All Team Staffing Inc the temporary worker services for twelve (12) food service positions, namely cooks and food preparation for the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital. The two reasons for the emergency are as follows. First, a rash of hospital food service staffing vacancies exist. Second, the temporary staffing vendor under contract with the University has had difficulty placing viable temporary candidates until vacant positions are filled because food service is a challenging job with low hourly compensation. The University is in the process of hiring permanent positions for the vacancies, but the hiring process is complex and involves multiple steps.

Over the past six months there have been several retirements, resignations as well as other staff leaving. Approval was received in November to start hiring for 11 open positions. We have also been approved to hire 15 students. There are offers out to 8 other candidates and if they accept then in addition it takes approximately 4 weeks for those candidates to go through the background/hiring process. The department has 8 people on Disability at the present time. We have one or two people on vacation each week not including staff calling in sick which comes out to be 5-8 call offs a day. Employed Staff has been working overtime to help but they are tired and not signing up for overtime lately.

This emergency procurement will bridge the gap of personnel needs until permanent food service staff can complete the hiring process, are trained and ready to work.

Consequently there is an immediate need for 15 temporary food service workers for a 8 hour daily shift at the agency hourly rate of $20.00. This equates to a daily service cost of $ 2,400. The emergency purchase request is for ninety (90) days at an estimated amount of $ 216,000.

The Emergency purchase cost from All Team Staffing is for $ 216,000 for the ninety (90) day emergency period.
