About this file
This document contains four certification exhibits required for the County of Orange, California's Special Projects Related to Workforce Development Services contract opportunity. The exhibits establish compliance and eligibility requirements for contractors bidding on workforce development services across four distinct areas: Business Development, Workforce Development (Youth and Adult Programs/Services), Innovations, and Consultancy. Applicants may propose for one or multiple service components, with separate proposals required for each. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2024, with proposals due by February 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The initial contract term is 12 months with potential for up to three one-year renewals contingent on performance and funding availability. Proposals must be typewritten, double-spaced in Arial 12-point font, and not exceed 25 pages per service component.
The certification exhibits require contractors to demonstrate compliance with federal and state regulations, including a Drug Free Workplace Certification under California Government Code Section 8355, a Debarment and Suspension Certification confirming the contractor and its principals are not debarred or suspended from federal transactions, a Lobbying Certification under 31 U.S.C. Section 1352 certifying that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officials, and a Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form (SF-LLL) for reporting any non-federal funds paid for lobbying purposes. Contractors must establish drug-free awareness programs, notify employees of drug policies and associated penalties, and ensure all employees receive the company's drug-free policy statement. The contract is structured as a cost-reimbursement agreement with administrative and indirect costs capped at 10% of the total contract budget. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, for-profit entities, educational institutions, and community-based organizations with a minimum of three years of experience. The County encourages applications from veteran-owned, minority-owned, women-owned, and socially disadvantaged businesses.
