RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the Oakland Private Industry Council, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $224,541, to provide administrative and operational support to the East Bay Regional Planning Unit as defined by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$224,541: The contract is funded with 100% Federal WIOA funds. CFDA#s 17.258, 17.259, 17.278.

BACKGROUND:

Oakland Private Industry Council, Inc. (OPIC) will contract with the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Workforce Development Board (WDB), to provide products and services related to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. WIOA requires States to identify economic regions within their State and local areas to coordinate planning and service delivery on a regional basis. The California Workforce Development Board has designed the following local workforce development board jurisdictions as the East Bay Regional Planning Unit (EBRPU): Contra Costa County, Alameda County, and the cities of Oakland and Richmond.

To meet the requirements of the WIOA legislation and in an effort to benefit from economies of scale and to leverage resources, the four jurisdictions work cooperatively in grant acquisition, service design, contracting, and purchasing, and jointly use the services of the contractor to carry out responsibilities on behalf of the EBRPU under the EASTBAY Works (EBW) umbrella.

Contractor will employ, supervise and provide employer of record services for an EBW Regional Coordinator/Organizer and any other staff the WDBCCC deems necessary, who will provide direct coordination and system building services to EBRPU/EBW; provide contracting and payment for staff travel, communications, supplies, phone, and resource development as determined necessary by the WDBCCC; maintain EBW Job Seeker 800 phone number and enter into any related contracts to do so; provide and maintain technology support for EBW website and enter into any related contracts to do so; and provide administrative and operational support to EBRPU/EBW. Costs are split amongst the four (4) Regional Planning Unit members.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD's Workforce Development Board will not meet the requirements of the WIOA legislation, nor will they benefit from economies of scale and resource leveraging to carry out responsibilities on behalf of the EBRPU.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (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 providing administrative support to efforts that train and provide employment opportunities for job seekers.
