Outsourcing Update

Facilities and grounds

The HACC Grounds and Maintenance Request For Proposal (RFP) for outsourcing is complete as of March 4, 2020. The committee chair, Kathy Brickner presented the committee’s recommendation to leadership to keep HACC grounds and maintenance personnel positions in-house. After thorough evaluation of the three proposals from industry vendors, the committee found that none met the two specific criteria as outlined 1) does the vendor meet or exceed the quality of work that our current staff perform and 2) does the vendor’s pricing and associated staffing model via a cost analysis with HACC’s current staffing and salary structure net a material savings for the College? Thank you to all of the committee members for their work on this project and the grounds and maintenance staff for their patience during this assessment.

Safety and Security

The committee that is drafting the Armed Safety and Security Request for Proposal (RFP) finalized the draft RFP on March 6, 2020. During the month of March, the Safety and Security department employees will be provided an opportunity to review and comment on the RFP. The RFP is anticipated to be finalized and sent out for public bid in April. The final decision to outsource or not-outsource the Safety and Security department are anticipated to occur in June. Please note the dates provided are general guidelines and may change as the committee works through the process.
