Subject:Amend Contract with Lao Family Community Development Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The services provided by Contractor are necessary to set forth the responsibilities of the Lao Family Community
Development (Contractor) and Contra Costa County on behalf of its Employment and Human Services Department
(County), in the provision of job skills and placement services for limited and non-English speaking California Work
Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants.
Under the contract, Contractor must:
A. Must provide the following services to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)
Non-English speaking participants referred by the County's Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD).
B. Accept referrals of CalWORKs Non-English speaking participants from EHSD.
C. Keep and maintain accurate case files on each participant referred by EHSD.
D. Report monthly attendance participation, job placements, incidences of non-cooperation, non¬attendance,
resignations, or other incidences of non-compliance.
Expected outcomes are:
A. Serve all CalWORKs Non-English participants referred by EHSD.
B. Place a minimum of 80 percent of enrolled participants in initial jobs or in upgraded jobs.
C. By August 31, 2014 (60 days after program operations end), 55 percent of individuals who were placed in initials
jobs or in upgraded jobs, will have retained those jobs for at least 90 days.
D. Notify EHSD within 3 working days of any referred participants that do not show to orientation or become
non-compliant with activity / job.
During the term of this contract, Contractor has provided all contracted services and has met all goals.
This contract amendment amends the contract language under item III.B., requiring the contractor to place a minimum
of 80% of "enrolled" participants, rather than "referred" participants, in initial or upgraded jobs. In addition
subpargraph D is added to this section which will require Contractor to notify EHSD within 3 working days of
participant no-shows.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Interpretation and translation services and post/pre-employment services will not be provided to West Contra Costa
County non-English or limited English speaking Vietnamese and Laotian CalWORKs participants as anticipated by
EHSD.
