County Considerations 8 While developing the RFP, the County Executive Office carefully considered and decided to: Maintain the two current One Stop locations (one in North County, one in South County) with an even funding split between the two. Not separate the competition for One Stop Operator and the Adult & Dislocated Worker Program Operator for efficiency and cost savings. Realign the duties and responsibilities of WDB staff to achieve cost savings and support program administration. Ensure the majority of funding is made available for direct services.

Mandated Responsibility: o Vote to designate and certify the One Stop and Program Operators Additional Opportunities for Board Members to Engage: o Participate on an RFP rating panel (open to private sector members only) o Ask questions of Proposers at July 15 th Board Meeting o Develop additional performance metrics, set additional “stretch” goals, add supplementary service elements to the contracts Role of the WDB 9
