Fulton County, Georgia (“County”) and the Fulton County Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) are seeking a single or multiple vendors to act as a subrecipient of a Federal grant program to provide services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The services being sought will include the Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs under this grant program.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014 by President Obama. WIOA became effective on July 1, 2015. WIOA reauthorizes the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 and includes amendments to the following legislative titles:
Contract terms and conditions will be negotiated with successful Proposers for a start date no later than July 1, 2026. County/LWDB reserves the right to award all or part of the available funds for this project, select all or a portion of a Respondent’s proposal, and otherwise negotiate with Proposers to create a full complement of workforce services in the LWDB service area.
County/LWDB payments are made under a cost-reimbursement contract that are based on actual costs. The expected performance delivery outcomes for County/LWDB will be linked to the federal common measures, job placements, state performance criteria, quality assurance error rate, customer engagement and follow-up, and other criteria as determined and negotiated between the County/LWDB and the Contractor.
Due to the nature of County/LWDB funding sources, potential changes in legislation and policies, and performance achieved, Proposers are advised that any contract awarded under this RFP may be modified to incorporate such changes and adjustments as warranted.
Any non-profit, for-profit, educational or public entity/organization properly organized in accordance with applicable federal, state or local laws is eligible to submit a proposal. To be eligible, Proposers must be authorized to do business in the State of Georgia and must have been in business for at least three (3) years prior to the point the proposal is submitted. Minority and women-owned and operated businesses are encouraged to submit a proposal.
