RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Economic Partnership Inc., effective October 31, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $140,000 to a new payment limit of $225,000, to extend the term to April 1, 2016 through to June 30, 2017, and to expand the scope of work to include: support of the transportation and logistics sector in addition to continued communications, public relations, and outreach services, to raise the profile of key industry sectors in Contra Costa County and the East Bay region by promoting the East Bay Slingshot Initiative. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$225,000: 100% Federal (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) (CFDA #17.258)

BACKGROUND:

The goal of the East Bay Slingshot initiative is to enable Employment and Human Services Department's (EHSD) Workforce Development Board (WDB) and its network of partners to be better positioned to provide high-quality services and value to key industry sectors and businesses, while helping this same network be more responsive to and engaged in, regional strategic priorities. California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) provides funds for these partnerships. Contra Costa Economic Partnership will work with EHSD's WDB in providing communications, public relations, and outreach services to raise the profile of key industry sectors in Contra Costa County and the East Bay region, by promoting the East Bay Slingshot initiative.

This amendment expands the scope of work to include activities specifically related to support the transportation and logistics sector: business engagement, environmental scans, and providing assistance to transportation/logistic employers around identified areas of need, including documentation of issues/needs, organization and coordination of meetings, assembling and distribution of information, and other sector-related strategies.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD WDB will not receive valuable assistance to support coordination between regional economic development organizations, educational systems, and workforce development boards to support the needs of business and job seeker customers in the region.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School;" (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood;" (3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient;" (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing;' and (5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by training and providing employment opportunities for job seeker customers.
