BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
training vendors on behalf of all EASTBAY Works partner agencies. In this capacity, 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 National Emergency Grant (NEG) New
United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated (NUMMI) funding to expand and enhance services to Workforce
Investment Act participants. A core component of these services is the availability of occupational training. This
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 NUMMI and other eligible dislocated workers who are or
were employed by secondarily-impacted firms and suppliers to NUMMI.
This Board Order authorizes the Director of the Employment and Human Services Department to increase the
contract payment limit to OPIC by $55,000 from $803,300 to a new payment limit of $858,300. The Workforce
Development Board budget modifications breakdown as follows: WIA Adult 223,000; WIA Dislocated Worker
230,300; WIA Youth 50,000; ARRA WIA Adult 115,000; ARRA WIA Dislocated Worker 100,000; National
Emergency Grant (NUMMI) funds 100,000; and ARRA WIA Rapid Response $40,000. (#18-020-20)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Additional Dislocated Workers and adults will not receive Clinical Lab Scientist (CSL) Training.
