RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with O'Reilly &
Associates in an amount not to exceed $60,000 to complete a Layoff
Aversion Study for the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center's Rapid Response services
and activities under the Workforce Investment Act's Rapid Response Grant.
DISCUSSION
On November 7, 2005, the Santa Ana W!O!R!K Center issued a Request for
Proposals to procure a layoff aversion study funded by the Rapid Response
Grant. The role of Rapid Response is to assist workers to quickly return
to productive positions in the workforce and assist employers to explore
al ternati ves to layoffs through human resource solutions. The W!O!R!K
Center staff reviewed and rated proposals based on the following
criteria: past experience, comprehensiveness of services, and
reasonableness of cost. O'Reilly & Associates was selected as a result
of the selection process.
O'Reilly & Associates will conduct an analysis of local Santa Ana
businesses using the Dunn and Bradstreet's Financial Stress Analysis
Model to identify businesses most likely at risk of layoffs. Services
will also include on-going consultation to identify strategies for the
provision of Rapid Response layoff aversion services.
