SECTION C. STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the contract performance requirements for the operation and management of the Kittrell Job Corps Center.

C.1 GENERAL

A. Background

Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor to address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout the United States. Job Corps was originally established by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; current authorization for the program is authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014.

Job Corps provides comprehensive career development services to students including academic, career technical, career success and independent living skills, career readiness training, and support services. The unique combination of services provided in Job Corps is intended to prepare youth to obtain and hold gainful employment, pursue further education or training, or satisfy entrance requirements for careers in the Armed Forces.

B. Objective

The contractor shall provide services, material, and all necessary personnel to operate a Job Corps Center (JCC). The contractor shall provide enrolled youth who meet Job Corps’ eligibility and admission requirements, with a comprehensive range of career development services leading to employment and long-term attachment to the workforce. The contractor shall:

1. Provide academic, career technical, career success, employability, and independent living skills training;

2. Provide basic health care, counseling, and other support services as required by the PRH;

3. Conduct program operations in a setting that is clean, well maintained, and safe;

4. Assist youth in obtaining employment, additional education or training, or entry into the Armed Forces;

5. Provide support that prepares graduates to maintain long-term attachment to the labor market or further educational opportunities; and

6. Integrate center operations with the local workforce development systems, employers, the business community, and community-based organizations.

The general Scope of Work may include the participation of the contractor in Demonstration Projects initiated by the U.S. Department of Labor. An equitable adjustment shall be made for those projects determined to be an increase in work within the general scope of the contract via a supplemental agreement to the contract negotiated with the contractor. All disputes arising under these actions are subject to the disputes clause.

C. Center Design

1. The center shall operate at a planned On-Board Strength (OBS) as indicated below:

Student Category OBS Number

Residential Male Students 150

Residential Female Students 150

Subtotal Residential Students 300

Nonresidential Male Students 25

Nonresidential Female Students 25

Subtotal Nonresidential Students 50

Total Planned Average On-Board Strength (OBS) 350

The contractor shall be continually prepared to receive a sufficient number of students to maintain the average OBS number capacity indicated above and a surge capacity of up to 103%, where facilities can accommodate the increased capacity. Performance up to 103% of capacity shall be performed within the estimated cost of this contract.

During each Contract Year, the contractor shall not exceed an average of 103% of the planned OBS indicated above. The contractor cannot request students, or otherwise indicate availability to accept students, to the extent that fulfilling that request would put the center over the Contract Year average OBS of 103%. All costs incurred resulting from any enrollments which causes the contractor’s OBS to exceed the Contract Year average of 103%, shall be deemed unallowable. In addition, the Department of Labor reserves the right to pursue legal action, or otherwise seek relief, against any contractors exceeding the 103% Contract Year average.

D. Governing Regulations and Handbooks

The Job Corps program is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 20 - Labor, Subtitle A - Office of the Secretary of Labor, Part 670. The contractor shall follow the PRH, the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and all other requirements established in this contract.
