RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with
Wesley A. Bosch to provide assessment and counseling services in the amount of $90,000 for the
period of October 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, subject to non-substantive changes approved
by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On July 22, 2013, the Santa Ana WORK Center (SAWC) released a Request for Proposal (RFQ),
BID Number 13-034, for consultants to provide assessment services to training participants as
required by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Services provided to residents enrolled in WIA
programs would also include career guidance, assistance with goal setting, and counseling to
resolve personal and/or family issues that may be interfering with reemployment or training efforts.
The RFQ was released to five consultants and Mr. Wesley A. Bosch was the only consultant that
responded and submitted a proposal. After review, staff determined that it met the desired
qualification requirements. A cost analysis was conducted to determine that service costs were
reasonable, thus staff recommends that a contract with Mr. Bosch be approved to provide services
to SAWC clients.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds will be available in the One Stop program account (no. 12318751), the One Stop Adult
account (no. 12318753), and the One Stop Dislocated Worker account (no. 12318754).

Description of Services
The services I have and would provide to customers at the Santa Ana WORK Center (SAWC)
are of three primary types: Professional Counseling to assist with personal, relationship and/or
family concerns, and Career/ Vocational Assessment and Counseling. Additionally, staff
consultation and support regarding customer issues and problem management would be
provided.
The Professional Counseling is provided to address various personal concerns, which may
include: Job loss grief, loss of self-esteem, diminished ego strength/coping skills, impaired
stress management from economic uncertainty and other problems, changes in self-perception,
hopelessness and despair, frustration and other effects from ongoing job search, adverse effects
on family or significant others, reduction of supportive relationships, coping with disability, the
exacerbation of underlying emotional and/or behavior disorders, clinical depression, suicidal
ideation and risk, anxiety, substance abuse, and career direction uncertainty.
Both educational and clinical interventions would be used, as appropriate. The primary
modality would be individual counseling that may involve single or multiple appointments
over time in a confidential setting. Involvement of family or significant others would occur
when identified as potentially helpful. Group counseling or workshops may be conducted
according to the need and commonality of concerns. Referral to relevant professionals, agencies,
and resources would be made as appropriate with follow-up regarding progress and outcome.
The Vocational Assessment and Counseling is a tool to assist case managers and customers in
determining the appropriateness of or readiness for vocational training, the career/ training
areas customers appear to match up well with, and identification of other issues (barriers) that
may affect their potential success in training and/or employability. Usually a two-day process,
a multiple battery of assessment instruments related to vocational interests, work values,
personality type, abilities/ aptitudes, basic skills (the TABE), and transferable skills would be
administered, with a separate individual interpretation/counseling consultation. A primary
occupational/ training goal and alternative potential paths to employment are collaboratively
developed. A formal report is written of the findings and delivered to the case manager along
with consultation, as needed. Basic Skills testing using the TABE would also be available
separately, per case manager request, for purposes of potential training prescreening or
retesting following remedial study. Career counseling is provided for customers who are
unclear about their vocational and educational goals.
