RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Marvell C. Allen DBA Millennium Career Advantage, effective May 1, 2016, increasing the payment limit by $156,500 to a new payment limit of $254,500 to provide additional leadership development services and to extend the term from August 23, 2016 to December 31, 2016. (47% State, 45% Federal, 8% County)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$254,500: 100% Administration Overhead (47% State, 45% Federal, 8% County)

BACKGROUND:

Marvell C. Allen DBA Millennium Career Advantage provides organizational learning, coaching, and leadership development programs in the public and private sector that develop leadership and management professional skills to diverse audiences and in different geographies, in addition to having executive and senior level coaching experience.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

EHSD has experienced significant turnover at the manager and supervisor levels of the organization with the onset of the retiring baby boomers, changes in the retirement pension regulations, and the normal attrition cycles. The turnover has resulted in a new cohort of staff who would benefit from leadership development.

In August 2015, the Employment and Human Services Department awarded a contract under Request for Information (RFI) #570 to Marvell C. Allen DBA Millennium Career Advantage to provide consulting, facilitation and training services with the final product being the creation of a Leadership Academy or Leadership Development Program that will raise the caliber of leadership skills of EHSD employees.

Marvell C. Allen DBA Millennium Career Advantage has successfully completed two phases of the current Leadership Academy contract. These two phases were the Roadmap and Design phases. An outcome of these two phases was the realization by both EHSD and Marvell C. Allen DBA Millennium Career Advantage that further work, to include delivery of training to a stated audience, was required to ensure successful completion of the EHSD Leadership Academy project.

This Board Order is requesting Board approval for additional training services to include creating an Attribute Framework that anchors the training and embodies the values and mission of EHSD to provide a solid foundation for the Leadership Academy.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A comprehensive leadership training program providing leadership development to EHSD Management staff will not be delivered.
