SECTION C. STATEMENT OF WORK

INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the contract performance requirements for the operation and management with Outreach and Admissions and Career Transition Services of the New Haven 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 Title I, Subtitle C, of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

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 material, services, and all necessary personnel to operate a Job Corps center (Center). The contractor shall provide enrolled youth, meeting Job Corps’ eligibility or 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.

Amendment No. 4 NEW HAVEN JOB COPRS CENTER

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

The general scope of work includes 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

The center shall operate at a planned, average on-board strength as noted below:

Total Planned Average On-Board Strength 157

The contractor shall be continually prepared to receive a sufficient number of students to maintain the average on-board strength capacity noted above and a surge capacity of up to 103 percent, where facilities can accommodate the increased capacity. Performance up to 103 percent 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 specified above. The contractor cannot request students or otherwise indicate availability to accept students to the extent fulfilling that request would put the center over the Contract Year average OBS of 103%. All costs incurred resulting from any enrollments which cause the contractor’s OBS to exceed the Contract Year average of 103%, shall be deemed unallowable. In addition, the Department reserves the right to pursue legal action or otherwise seek relief against any contractors exceeding 103% Contract Year average.

In the event that nonresidential students are enrolled, they shall be provided the following services, in addition to the core services available to all students:

1. Transportation to and from the training site for training days and for limited recreational activities.

2. A locker, lock, and nonresidential student lounge.
