RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Oakland Private Industry Council, Inc. (OPIC), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $118,546 to provide goods and services related to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for the period of September 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract, in the amount $118,546, is 100% funded with Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds.

BACKGROUND:

Oakland Private Industry Council, Inc. (OPIC) will contract with the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Workforce Development Board (WDB), to provide goods and services related to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). 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 (CWDB) has designated 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 new 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employment and Human Services Department Workforce Development Board will not meet the requirements of the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunty Act legislation nor will they benefit from economies of scale and resource leveraging to carry out responsibilities on behalf of the East Bay Regional Planning Unit under the EASTBAY Works umbrella.
