RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Oakland Private Industry Council to increase the contract payment limit by $207,000 for a total contract payment limit not to exceed $682,000 for increased Workforce Investment Act Adult services, WIA Dislocated Worker classroom training services, National Emergency Grant (NEG) On the Job Training (OJT) and to include mutual indemnification against any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement with no change to the contract term of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$682,000: 100% Federal Workforce Investment Act Funds

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. A core component of these services is the availability of occupational training. This allows the Workforce Development Board, its One-Stop Career Centers and its youth providers to continue regular WIA training services and to expand training services to eligible dislocated workers.

This Board Order authorizes the Director of the Employment and Human Services Department to increase the contract payment limit to OPIC by $207,000 from $475,000 to a new payment limit of $682,000. The Workforce Development Board budget modifications breakdown as follows: WIA Adult 200,000; WIA Dislocated Worker 200,000; WIA Youth 30,000; National Emergency Grant New United Motors Manufacturing Incorporated (NUMMI) 30,000; and National Emergency Grant On the Job Training (OJT) funds 222,000.

This Board Order is requesting Board approval to include a Mutual Indemnification clause in the contract with Oakland Private Industry Council. (#18-020-22)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Additional Dislocated Workers and Eligible Adults will not be served.
