RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Public Consulting Group, Inc., effective January 1, 2017, to increase the total payment limit by $149,995 to a new payment limit of $225,595 to expand the scope of work to include additional technical assistance, strategic planning, and other related services to support various aspects of publicly funded safety net and employment services in Contra Costa County for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$225,595: 66% Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding and 34% CalWorks Single Allocation

BACKGROUND:

Contract was awarded through Request for Interest (RFI) #538 for community asset mapping and an environmental scan of Contra Costa County resources.

This amendment is to expand the scope of work to include additional technical assistance, strategic planning, and other related services to support various aspects of publicly funded safety net and employment services in Contra Costa County. Under federal regulations of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA), all Workforce Development Boards are required to prepare both a regional and a local strategic plan for 2017 to 2020. The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) has been designated the fiscal lead for the state designated Regional Planning Unit (RPU) of the East Bay and as such has received dedicated funds to cover the regional planning portion of this contract work. The East Bay regional planning unit consists of Contra Costa County, the City of Richmond, Alameda County and the City of Oakland and is referred to as EastBay Works. Both the regional and the local plan shall be informed by required partners and stakeholders and shall include all the components required at the federal level and the state. Public Consulting Group, Inc. has extensive knowledge in workforce development at the national level, in the state of California, and locally, and will be facilitating and developing both the East Bay RPU strategic plan and the Contra Costa County four year local plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD WDB will not receive valuable assistance with facilitating and developing both the East Bay Regional Planning Unit (RPU) strategic plan and the Contra Costa County four year local plan.
