RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Oakland Private Industry Council, effective March 1, 2017, to increase payment limit by $192,992 to a new payment limit of $897,486 for increased training vendor contracting and pay agent services with no change to the contract term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$897,486: 100% Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds (CFDA #17.258, #17.259, #17.278).

BACKGROUND:

In May 2013, 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, as a result of an Alameda County Request for Proposal (RFP) 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 Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) related jobs and skills training to clients served by WDB. A core component of these services is the availability of occupational training which allows the WDB, its America's Job Centers of California (AJCC), and its youth providers to continue regular WIOA 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 $192,992 from $704,494 to a new payment limit of $897,486. This Board Order is requesting Board approval to include a Mutual Indemnification clause in the contract with Oakland Private Industry Council.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Additional Dislocated Workers and Eligible Adults will not be served.

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 assisting with training and employment services.
