RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $684,279.27, to provide for Subsidized Temporary Experience with/without Pay for the Under-Employed Program (STEP-UP) Services for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will increase department expenditures by $684,279.27 to be funded by California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) which is designated 15% State revenue and 85% Federal revenue.











BACKGROUND:

Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay, Inc. (Goodwill) was selected from a competitive procurement Request for Proposal (RFP) #1161 to provide Subsidized Temporary Experience with/without Pay for the Under-Employed Program (STEP-UP) Services Countywide. STEP-UP is designed to provide entry-level work experience to designated CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work (WTW) participants who are not meeting their WTW participation requirements by immediately placing them into Work Experience (WEX) assignments for up to 180 days. The goal of STEP-UP, when coupled with other necessary WTW activities and services, is to immediately engage participants by providing exposure to work and basic job skills and ultimately leading to a participant’s successful, long-term job placement.  
  
Under this Contract, Goodwill will develop, implement, and monitor Countywide paid and unpaid WEX opportunities. Provisions of this Contract include two components: Contractor acting as the Employer of Record and Job Development/Placement for both paid and unpaid WEX assignments.   

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not be able to provide the STEP-UP Program of CalWORKs.
