The not-to-exceed compensation for the initial contract period is $275,000, which may be structured as fixed-price or hourly rate-based compensation on a task-by-task basis through individually negotiated Work Orders, with payment based on actual hours, wage rates, overhead, allowable profit, and direct expenses. A local-vendor preference or local-business-entity certification under Mayoral Executive Order No. 04-12 is available as optional favorable consideration; applicants may alternatively commit to local impact through employment and work performance in Philadelphia. Since the contract value exceeds $250,000, the selected vendor must comply with Philadelphia's 21st Century Minimum Wage and Benefits Standard and extend equal benefits to life partners of employees. The vendor must provide individualized action plans, regular verbal and written progress reports documenting trainee attendance and skill attainment, and monthly status reports tracking work completion and budget compliance.
