Increase estimated revenue in account 259-4441.002 to $493,602 for WIA Formula Grant funds; 3. Renew and modify the subcontract with the Santa Clarita Community College District (COC) for the operation of the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center, RFP ED -11-12-07, in an amount not to exceed $238,000; 4. Authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all contract documents and renewals, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND In July 1998, the City of Santa Clarita entered into a contract with the Antelope Valley Workforce Development Consortium (Consortium) to receive the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant for Adult and Dislocated Workers from the Los Angeles County Department of Community and Senior Services. Since then, the City has been receiving annual WIA funding for the operation of the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center (Center), and providing employment AFTHOWED assistance services to the residents and businesses of the Santa Clarita Valley. The Center offers year-round services for job seekers, including computer access, the ability to research and pursue job leads, and workshops to improve job search skills and marketability. The funding also allows the Center to offer business services, such as providing space and coordination for employee recruitments and interviews. During the past year, the Center has provided individualized recruitment services for businesses, including Six Flags Magic Mountain, Staffrnark, Ashley Furniture, Aerotek, and AMS. In November 2011, the City solicited a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a contractor to deliver operation and management services at the Center. The selected contractor would provide Core A and Core B levels of service to WorkSource customers and businesses. The Santa Clarita City Council awarded the contract for operations of the Center to the Santa Clarita Community College District (COC) on January 10, 2012, and then at the August 28, 2012, City Council meeting renewed that agreement through June 30, 2013. The Consortium had unanimously supported this at their Consortium meeting of December 29, 2011. This contract was then renewed by the City Manager for three additional months, from July 1, 2013, through September 30, 2013, to keep services operating until the new fiscal year award was determined by the Consortium. Prior to this past fiscal year, the City received funding and provided services for the Core A and Core B levels of service, while Goodwill of Southern California (Goodwill) received the funding and provided the services for the Training and Intensive Services program. As of July 5, 2012, Goodwill decided to no longer continue to provide the Intensive and Training Services at the Center. With their departure from the Center, the Consortium awarded the Intensive and Training Services program to the City of Santa Clarita at the Consortium meeting of July 23, 2012, expanding the original scope of work for the City and, therefore, the scope of work for COC as well. Total funding for this year's WIA Program is $493,602. This represents a slight increase from last year's program funding level of $490,597. Of the $493,602 grant award, $168,910 is designated specifically for training and workforce development funding; $238,000 will be awarded to COC for staffing; and $86,692 will be retained by the City to be spent for administrative and operational costs, including rent. Rent is paid on a monthly basis directly to COC, per the lease agreement signed by both the City and COC. The partnership with COC at the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center has proven to be a great success, with all job placement goals met and exceeded for the 2012-13 WIA grant program year. This was especially impressive given the addition of the responsibility for the Intensive and Training Services program. Building upon the success of the 2012-13 WIA grant program year, staff is recommending renewing the contract with COC for the 2013-14 grant program year to continue operation and staffing for the Center. COC's proven track record in the workforce development arena, along with their extensive business partnerships in the Santa Clarita community, make them an excellent partner in 2 providing Core A, Core B, and Intensive and Training Services levels of service at the Center. Through successful job placement partnerships with the existing COC Career Center, the Employee Training Institute, the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies, and the Small Business Development Center, COC is able to provide direct access to resources and training for WorkSource customers on a daily basis as determined in the lease agreement between the City and COC. A renewal contract with COC has been drafted to cover services from October 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014. The contract with COC may be renewed annually up to two times, in accordance with the RFP. (See Attachment B) In accepting this funding, the City agrees to work with COC to provide Core A, Core B, and Intensive and Training Services for WIA, to include staff assisted job development, job place- ments, enrollment, and follow-up for one year from exiting the program. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Decline acceptance of the funds. 2. Other direction as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost of this program is estimated at $493,602 to be offset by grant revenue. Of the $493,602 grant award, $168,910 is designated specifically for training and workforce development funding; $180,271 will be awarded to COC for staffing and operations costs from September 2013 -June 2014, with $57,729 previously awarded to COC for staffing and operations costs from July 2013 -September 2013; and $86,692 will be retained by the City to be spent for administrative and operational costs, including rent. Funds for this expenditure are budgeted in the Workforce Investment Act Chant (WIA -15303). There is no City match required.
