Report
a. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve and authorize the Executive Director of the Monterey County Workforce Development Board (MCWDB) to execute an Agreement with Pat Davis Design Group, Inc. (PDDG) to provide website development, design, and hosting services for the period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, at a cost not to exceed $57,900.
b. BACKGROUND
Based on the results of an RFP process conducted earlier that year, on August 1, 2018, the Executive Committee approved the selection committee’s recommendation to negotiate an agreement to design, develop, maintain, and host a new, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act-compliant website with PDDG, a marketing and communications services provider that had successfully provided similar design and development services for other workforce development boards.
In April 2018, the Board of Supervisors had approved the MCWDB Executive Director to execute certain agreements not exceeding $45,000, which allowed for the execution of an agreement and amendment for website development, maintenance, and hosting services that did not exceed $45,000 for the term from September 19, 2018, through June 30, 2021.
On August 23, 2021, the MCWDB received approval from the Board of Supervisors authorizing the Executive Director to sign a new three-year agreement with PDDG for the period of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 per year, with two renewals. The scope of work for this agreement included ongoing hosting, maintenance, security, and technical support services for the website and related tools and applications; new webpage design and content development; and refreshes of existing webpages on the site. The second renewal will terminate on June 30, 2026.
c. DISCUSSION
The Board of Supervisors is asked to authorize the Executive Director of the MCWDB to sign a new Agreement with Pat Davis Design Group, Inc. to provide website development, design, and hosting services for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, at a cost not to exceed $57,900. At its meeting of April 23, 2026, the MCWDB approved the Agreement to be executed for a period of one year.
d. OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the proposed Agreement.
e. FINANCING
The Board of Supervisors’ approval of the proposed Agreement with PDDG will have no impact on
the Monterey County General Fund. The funding identified in the Agreement is budgeted to Fund
021, Appropriations Unit CAO030, Department 1050, Unit 8478.
f. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Approval of the Agreement for website services will allow the MCWDB to connect job seekers,
employers, and other community members to the employment resources they need, resulting
in the training and hiring of additional workers and ultimately to economic prosperity for Monterey
County residents and businesses.
