Attachment to Board Order
On January 3, 1995, a Request for Proposals was received from California
Trade and Commerce Agency's California Small Business Development
Center Program. The California Small Business Development Center
Program at that time had designated $250,000 for the establishment and
operation of a Small Business Development Center in Contra Costa County
for the period of April 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995: Funds are
available on a calendar year basis. According to California Trade and
Commerce Agency, it is anticipated that once the grant is awarded, it will
be renewed yearly based on program compliance and review.
The Contra Costa County Private Industry Council was the only bidder,
as well as the successful bidder, to operate the program in this county.
PIC application was approved by your board on February 7, 1995.
Subsequently, however, the funds from the State have been reduced to
$150,000 for the period of June 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995. This
adjustment requires a new Board Order. Additional funds, however, are
anticipated from the State this program year.
A minimum cash match of 10%, or $15,000, is required. This amount may
be public or private funds, but must not be federal funds. The total
budget amount is $165,000, with $150,000 from the California Small
Business Development Center Program and $15,000 cash match.
