GRANTS AND GRANT ADMINISTRATION 3Fi. Grant Administration — Disbursal The OCDB is designated by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, chief local elected official, to serve as the local board and as the fiscal agent responsible for the disbursal of grant funds. Similarly, the City of Santa Ana serves as the fiscal agent for the SAWDB and the City of Anaheim serves as the fiscal agent for the AWDB and bears responsibility for the disbursal of grant funds. WIOA Section 107(d)(12)(B)(1)(lll) states that the entity responsible forthe disbursal of grantfunds is the local grant recipient or an entity designated under sub - clause (II) to disburse the grant funds for workforce investment activities at the direction of the local board, pursuant to the requirements of the of this title. The local grant recipient or entity designated under sub - clause II shall disburse the funds immediately on receiving such direction from the local board. Vii. Grant Administration — Competitive Process DECLARATION; Consistent with EDO Directive (WSD16 -14), the local boards subscribe to a competitive process that is used for the selection of AJCC Operators and Providers to award the sub - grants and contracts for WIOA Title I Activities. STRATEGY: Effectively all procurement and selection of one -stop operators and service providers is a result of a competitive procurement process that meets WIOA requirements and expectations. Sub - grants and contracts are procured through formal procurement policy processes, as outlined in a Contract Policy Manual (CPM). The purpose of the CPM is to govern all procurement, purchasing, and contracts. The local boards have established procurement policies and procedures in compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations. The local boards utilize a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process to award sub - grants and contracts for WIOA Title I activities. In order to ensure that appropriate firewalls are in place, the RFP process is handled by the City or County's Contract Development & Management (CDM) departments. The process begins with a public notice and is posted on the BidSync website to initiate and track the RFP. Submissions are reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of three (3) or more members who have no conflict of interest with the selection process. The selection of sub - grants or contracts will be made to the responsible proposer whose proposal best meets the local boards' requirements as determined by the evaluation committee. The selection is presented to the committees of the local board and later to the respective chief local elected officials for final approval. Lastly, the contract between the local boards and the winning proposers are drafted to include all local and Uniform Guidance requirements. The current OCDB One -Stop Operator was competitively procured through the County of Orange/ Orange County Community Resources most recent Request for Proposals - "Comprehensive /Satellite One -Stop Centers and Business Services" (Bid # 012629322) through a competitive process that occurs at least once every four years. The Anaheim WDB and Santa Ana WDB both approved a current request to continue services for Dislocated Worker, Adult, and Youth services. The local boards will collaborate on a collective procurement and release a new Request for Proposals (RFP) in October, 2017 for One -Stop Operator and services beginning in FY 20%2019. 3G.
