RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) #1150 in an amount not to exceed $1,100,000, for youth development services to eligible in-school and out-of-school youth, for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 (100% Federal-Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,100,000: 100% Federal-Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (CFDA# 17.259)

BACKGROUND:

The Request for Proposal will solicit competitive proposals for the delivery of year-round youth development services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Title I-B, in Contra Costa County. WIOA programs are intended to provide a rich array of age-appropriate services to target economically disadvantaged youth ages 14-21 who face barriers to remaining in school or finding stable employment. Successful bidders will provide youth workforce development services, including the WIOA youth programs in a customer-focused, youth system approach designed to enhance participants' essential employability skills and assist youth in setting and pursuing educational and career goals.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without timely release of the Request for Proposal (RFP), the Department would be out of compliance with County policies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Contracts resulting from the RFP will support two of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3) "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; by providing in-school and out-of-school youth development services to teach and encourage self-sufficiency skills.
