Subject:Amendment extension to increase Oakland Private Industry Council (OPIC) contract payment limit
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
OPIC is responsible for contracting with and paying training vendors who provide
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) related job and skills training to clients served by WDB.
The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County has received American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to expand and enhance services to Workforce
Investment Act participants. A core component of these services is the availability of
occupational training. This amendment allows the Workforce Development Board, its
One-Stop Career Centers and its youth providers to continue regular WIA training services
and to expand training services to ARRA clients. We anticipate a significant increase in the
number of participants receiving training during the amendment period. The funding
included in the amendment is based on prior year WIA training obligations for the same
period (June 30 – October 31) plus the anticipated cost of training to additional clients
served through ARRA.
The Workforce Development Board budget modifications for this amendment breakdown as
follows: WIA Adult 225,000; WIA Dislocated Worker 345,000; WIA Youth 125,000;
National Emergency Grant 45,000; Economic Stimulus One 100,000; ARRA WIA Adult
35,000; ARRA WIA Dislocated Worker 150,000. (18-020-16)
