The file appears to be unrelated to the Hayward City Hall and does not contain information about a specific contract opportunity. Instead, the provided document describes the Charles County, Maryland Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) for Summer 2025. The program seeks a qualified contractor to facilitate employment opportunities for up to 40 opportunity youth ages 16-24 who are not in school and not working. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was released on February 13, 2025, with proposals due by March 19, 2025, at 11:00 am. The contract will have a base period from execution through March 31, 2026, with four optional 1-year renewals at the county's discretion.

The total program budget is $165,973.58 for Fiscal Year 2026, which includes $15.00 per hour for youth participants (up to 30 hours per week for 6 weeks), a $500 stipend per business host site, $25,000 for administrative costs, and $12,973 for mobilization expenses. The program encourages participation from Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) and Minority & Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) host sites, with a requirement that at least 75% of participants meet the "opportunity youth" definition. The primary goal is to support young adults in Charles County by providing workforce development opportunities, helping them gain critical employment skills through structured summer work experiences, and facilitating their reintegration into the community.
