RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board (WDB), to execute a contract amendment with Oakland Private Industry Council, effective October 31, 2009, to increase the contract payment limit by $75,000 for a total contract payment limit of $1,100,000 and extend the term from October 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 to continue to perform as the fiduciary partner to pay program trainers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,100,000: 100% Federal, 76% Workforce Investment Act Funds ($836,000); 24% American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funds ($264,000).

BACKGROUND:

In Spring 2000, the EASTBAY Works Consortium, of which the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa (WDB) is a member, selected Oakland Private Industry Council (OPIC), a member organization, to serve as procurement and pay agent for training vendors on behalf of all EASTBAY Works partner agencies. In this capacity, OPIC is responsible for contracting with and paying training vendors who provide Workforce Investment Act (WIA) related job and skills training to clients served by WDB.

The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County had received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to expand and enhance services to Workforce Investment Act participants through June 30, 2010. This amendment allows the Workforce Development Board, its One-Stop Career Centers and its youth providers to continue regular WIA training services through June 30, 2010.

The Workforce Development Board budget for this amendment breaks down as follows: WIA Adult $225,000; WIA Dislocated Worker $345,000; WIA Youth $125,000; National Emergency Grant $45,000; Economic Stimulus One $100,000; ARRA WIA Adult $110,000; ARRA WIA Dislocated Worker $150,000. (18-020-17)
