Question Response

1. C.2C: The CTT offerings listed in the RFP do not reflect what is on the most recent CTT-10 report (period ending 12/31/2019). Variances include:

CTT Offering RFP CTT-10 Difference Clinical Medical Assistant 30 60 30 Certified Nursing Assistant 30 60 30 Facilities Maintenance 0 24 24 Computer Technician 0 30 30

The CTT-10 does not reflect the current CTT program slot count. The service window for placement services is still open for students who were in these CTT programs, thus the reason these CTT programs/slot counts are still on the CTT-10.

2. Please confirm that the CTT slots listed in the RFP are accurate and complete.

The CTT slots in the RFP are accurate and complete.

7. Are the washers and dryers at the Phoenix Job Corps Center Government property or are they leased? If they are Government-owned, are they all operable?

The washers and dryers are Government-owned. To the best of our knowledge, they are operational.

8. Referencing Attachment J-5 (Career Technical Skills Training) and Section C.2.C, the list of career technical training programs does not include Facilities Maintenance.
