AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds and solicitation for Grant

Application (SGA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: All information required to submit a proposal is contained in

this announcement. The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and

Training Administration (DOL/ETA) announces the availability of

competitive grants to award approximately $3.5 million for local

community One-Stop Career Center systems in order to implement several

``learning laboratories.''

The grants will allow these sites to serve as ``learning

laboratories'' to provide ``hands-on'' skill training and professional

development to others across the Country and/or serve as ``test sites''

for One-Stop components or applications. It is anticipated that up to

10 awards to local communities, who have moved forward to transform the

fragment array of employment and training programs into a coordinated

information and service delivery system for individuals seeking first,

new or better jobs and for employers seeking to hire new workers, will

be made. The Department's intent is that these local sites will fit

into the broader national strategy for the One-Stop Career Center

system. Accordingly, the Department is seeking to fund local sites that

embody the same four broad outcomes of the national system--i.e.,

universality, customer choice, integrated system and performance-

driven/outcome-based measures--that guided selection of the recent One-

Stop Career Center System State grant awards. These four outcomes are

described in detail later in the grant solicitation. The awards will be

made on a competitive basis and in the range of $250,000 to $500,000

per grant.

The duration of the grants will be 15 months, from the date of

award. Funding for subsequent years is contingent upon the availability

of funds, the activity funded, and upon satisfactory performance in the

prior year.

DATES: Application for grant awards will be accepted commencing January

3, 1995. The closing date for receipt of proposals at the Department of

Labor shall be March 6, 1995 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern time. Any proposal

not received at the designated place, date and time of delivery

specified will not be considered.

ADDRESSES: Proposals shall be mailed to: Division of Acquisition and

Assistance, Attention: Ms. Reda Harrison. Reference: SGA/DAA 94-24,

U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, 200

Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-4203, Washington, D.C. 20210.

Proposals may also be hand delivered. Please review Part II, Section F

for instruction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Employment and Training Administration

announces the availability of funds for local community One-Stop Career

Center systems to implement ``learning laboratories.'' This

announcement consists of five parts: Part I. Background/Description,

Part II. Application Process, Part III. Evaluation Criteria for Award,

Part IV. Meetings and Part V. Reporting Requirements.

Part I. Background/Description

American workers confront an economy in continuous transition.

Young people and other first time job seekers must try to find their

place in a shifting labor market. Job holders find they must constantly

learn new skills. Fewer workers can except to be with a single firm

throughout their work life. Employers find it harder to find new

workers with up-to-date skills. There is a confusing patchwork of job

training/retraining and benefit programs which do not efficiently

address work force security and career requirements. There is a clear

need for a streamlined One-Stop Career Center system which puts

customers first by providing them with the information and access to

services they need to make sound career decisions.

The Department is committed to improving the quality and delivery

of services to its ultimate customers--American workers and their

employers. The One-Stop Career Center system is the vehicle for

transforming this fragmented training and employment system into a

coordinated information and service delivery system for all Americans

seeking new jobs, better jobs or first jobs. An essential component

within the One-Stop system is an enhanced labor market information

system.

In fiscal year 1994, the Employment and Training Administration

(ETA) is using the $50 million Congress appropriated under the Wagner-

Peyser Act to begin implementation of a voluntary, national One-Step

Career Center system and for first year funding of the American Labor

Market Information System (ALMIS).

ETA is using about $30 million of the funds to award grants to

develop and implement One-Stop Career Center systems in conjunction

with local communities. Of these funds, $26.4 million is being used for

awards to States, on a competitive basis, for planning/development and

for implementation of One-Stop Career Center systems, both of which

must be done in conjunction with local communities.

Under this solicitation, ETA will award $3.5 million in grants to

up to 10 communities with local One-Stop Career Center systems. We

anticipate awarding grants in the $250,000 to $500,000 range depending

upon each State's proposal and the number of grants to be awarded.

These competitively awarded grants are available to local communities

that have already developed a local system and would like to serve as

``learning laboratories'' for other States and local communities in

developing One-Stop Career Center systems. It is anticipated that these

local communities will serve as test sites for new One-Stop approaches

and innovations, and undertake a broad range of dissemination and

technical assistance activities.

A. The One-Stop Career Center System Framework

As envisioned, the One-Stop Career Center system will provide

universal access to basic high-quality services for at least DOL funded

programs. A guiding principle behind the One-Stop concept is that

individuals should have access, through One-Stop, to a broad range of

employment, training and education services. This implies at least one

physical location that provides comprehensive services to any

individual seeking such services.

Beyond this, States and their local areas have a great deal of

flexibility to design the One-Stop system that best serves the

community, which may include many variations. For example, the One-Stop

Career Center system may be physically located in one comprehensive

site, in many sites, through electronic and technological access

points, or through a combination of these approaches.

Designs may include on-site services for only selected programs in

the One-Stop Career Center while linking to other programs. Under this

scenario, any individual can receive information on possible

eligibility for services which may be accessed through another service

center--the so-called ``no wrong door.'' A design may provide full

access to every employment, training and education program in a single

One-Stop Career Center in the community which is linked with other

specialized centers and electronic and technological access points.

Within this framework, the Department is supporting the development

of a nationwide system of One-Stop Career Centers through a program of

grant awards, beginning with fiscal year 1994. The Department believes

it is crucial to invest in developing a new National-State-Local One-

Stop system, and to not just randomly fund different entities at State

and substate levels. The Department believes that all levels of

involvement are necessary if we are to build a system to respond to our

changing global economy. Accordingly, ETA is focusing its funding

strategy on awarding grants for statewide development and

implementation of One-Stop Career Center systems.

However, the Department also recognizes that the One-Stop system

will be built on a community-by-community basis and that a number of

communities have already moved forward to implement innovative One-Stop

centers. The goals of this solicitation are to involve these local

communities in the building of the One-Stop system from the ``bottom

up'' and utilize their front-line leadership, innovation and

initiative. The Department is proposing to capitalize on these

innovative efforts by using them as learning laboratories for wide-

spread system development. These local sites can offer lessons for the

rest of the system; provide technical assistance and guidance to States

and communities; and serve as test sites to guide design, development

and innovation throughout the system.

In the interest of insuring that these local sites fit into the

broader national strategy, the local One-Stop design must be able to

achieve the same broad outcome objectives which guided the Department's

investment decisions for statewide One-Stop Career Center systems. The

broad outcome objectives that ETA believes should guide all State and

local One-Stop systems are described in Part II. In addressing these

outcomes in the application, applicants need to refer to Part II. G.

STATEMENT OF WORK/GRANT APPLICATION, Section 1. (a).

Part II. Application Process--All Information Required To Submit a

Proposal Is Contained in This Announcement

A. Eligible Applicants

This competition is open to all local entities. For the purposes of

this solicitation, a ``local entity'' is any public agency or

consortium of agencies (both public and private) for a geographic area

which contains a local One-Stop Career Center system as described in

Part I. Only one local entity may make an application on behalf of a

geographic area, which shall not be smaller than a Service Delivery

Area (SDA). In the case of single SDA States, more than one sub-State

application may be submitted provided that the applications are from

distant geographic areas of the State. The application must be

transmitted by the Chief Elected Official(s) that represent(s) the

geographic area.

The grant application must be reviewed by the appropriate State and

local officials who currently participate in this local One-Stop Career

Center system or who will be a participant as the local system becomes

part of a larger statewide system. At the State level, the Governor, or

the Governor's designated representative, must review, and have the

opportunity to comment on and indicate, by signature, that the

opportunity for review has been provided. Note that approval of the

application by the Governor is not required, except for States that

received one-stop implementation grants. Since these States have been

funded to implement a statewide one-stop system, the Governor or his/

her designated representative must indicate support for the proposal as

being consistent with the statewide one-stop system. Appropriate State

agency heads (e.g., JTPA and Employment Security Officials) or the

State's Human Resource Council or similar body, if such body exists,

should also have the opportunity to review and comment on the grant

application and demonstrate by appropriate signature level that such

opportunity for review has been provided. Comments received from the

Governor or from State agencies should be included as an attachment to

the proposal. In addition, employee organizations representing affected

workers must be given the opportunity to review and comment on the

proposal.

At the local level, participating program/agency heads must have

the opportunity to review the proposal. Evidence of this review

opportunity of the grant application by participating organization and/

or agency heads, and PIC chairs must be included with the application.

Letters of support may be included as examples of evidence of

concurrence by both State and local entities who have reviewed the

application.

B. Grant Awards

The Department has allocated $3.5 million for these grants for up

to 10 grants. The funding period is 15 months from the date of award.

Funding for subsequent years may be available, contingent upon the

continued availability of funds, the activity funded, and upon

satisfactory performance in the prior year.

C. Use of Funds

Funds received under this grant are intended to support

implementation of specific new features of the local One-Stop system,

to evaluate the effectiveness of these new approaches, to offset the

expenses involved in providing technical assistance to other States and

localities, and in disseminating information. These funds may not be

used to support on-going, existing activities or new construction.

D. Use of Proposals

The Department will utilize the information contained in the

proposals submitted to further document progress and approaches of

State and local areas in building One-Stop and Labor Market Information

(LMI) systems. The data submitted will be analyzed and used for two

primary purposes: (1) To share innovations and successes with the

public; and (2) to bolster our request to Federal policymakers and

funders by utilizing the best facts available regarding the One-Stop

system.

E. Closing Date

The closing date for receipt of proposals at the Department of

Labor will be 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, March 6, 1995. Any proposal not

received at the designated place, date, and time of delivery specified

herein will not be considered.

F. Application Procedures

1. Submission of Proposal

An original and three (3) copies of the application shall be

submitted. The application shall consist of two (2) separate parts:

Part I shall contain the Standard Form (SF) 424, ``Application for

Federal Assistance,'' and Budget Information Sheets. All copies of the

SF 424 shall have original signatures. In addition, the budget shall

include--on a separate page(s)--a detailed cost break-out of each line

item on Budget Information Sheets. Assurances and Certifications shall

also be included in this part. Finally, this section should include

evidence of State-level review and any comments resulting therefrom, as

well as local responses thereto.

Part II shall contain technical data that demonstrates the local

the application detailed below. This part should address the review

questions in sequential order.

Note: Applications are not to exceed 30 pages in length

(excluding attachments), and should be typed with a font size no

smaller than 10cpi or 12pt print size, with 1 inch default margins

(i.e., for top, bottom, left, and right margins). One diskette, 5\1/

4\'' or 3\1/2\'', labelled as to WordPerfect, AMI Pro, MS Word,

WordStar, or ASCII text format should also be submitted for Part II.

A videotape depicting a customer ``walk-through'' which serves to

illustrate the service features available at the local site may also be

forwarded in support of the application. Production and/or submission

of any videotape, however, is elective.

Applications should be sent to: Division of Acquisition and

Assistance, Attention: Ms. Reda Harrison. Reference: SGA/DAA 94-24,

U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, 200

Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S-4203, Washington, DC 20210.

2. Hand Delivered Proposals

Proposals should be mailed at least five (5) days prior to the

closing date. However, if proposals are hand-delivered, they shall be

received at the designated place by 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time by March 6,

1995. all overnight mail will be considered to be hand-delivered and

must be received at the designated place by the specified closing date.

Note: Telegraphed and/or faxed proposals will not be honored.

Failure to adhere to the above instructions will be a basis for a

determination of nonresponsiveness.

3. Late Proposals

Any proposal received at the office designated in the solicitation,

after the exact time specified for receipt, will not be considered

unless it is received before award is made and was either:

(1) Sent by U.S. Postal Service registered or certified mail not

later than the fifth calendar day before the date specified for receipt

of application (e.g., an offer submitted in response to a solicitation

requiring receipt of applications by the 20th of the month must have

been mailed by the 15th); or

(2) Sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day Service--Post

Office to Addressee, not later than 5 p.m. at the place of mailing two

working days prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals. The

term ``working days'' excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.

The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a

late proposal sent either by U.S. Postal Service registered or

certified mail is the U.S. postmark both on the envelope or wrapper and

on the original receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. Both postmarks

must show a legible date or the proposal, shall be processed as if

mailed late. ``Postmark'' means a printed, stamped, or otherwise placed

impression (exclusive of a postage meter machine impression) that is

readily identifiable without further action as having been supplied and

affixed by employees of the U.S. Postal Service on the date of mailing.

Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk to place a

legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both the receipt

and the envelope or wrapper.

The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a

late proposal sent by ``Express Mail Next Day Service--Post Office to

Addressee'' is the date entered by the Post Office receiving clerk on

the ``Express Mail Next Day Service--Post Office to Addressee'' label

and the postmark on both the envelope or wrapper and on the original

receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. ``Postmark'' has the same meaning

as defined above. Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk

to place a legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both

the receipt and the envelope or wrapper.

4. Period of Performance

The period of performance is 15-months from the date the grant is

executed. Awards are expected to be made in May 1995. The grants may be

extended for up to two additional years contingent upon availability of

funds and satisfactory performance.

e.g., Dislocated Worker programs, Employment Service programs, Veterans

Employment Service programs, Title II of JTPA, Senior Community Service

Employment program under Title V of the Older Worker Act, and

Unemployment Insurance programs.

Additional DOL-funded programs are also encouraged to be included,

e.g., Migrant Seasonal Farm Workers, Homeless Training, Native American

programs, School-to-Work Opportunities programs, Job Corps, and Bureau

of Apprenticeship and Training programs;

(B) How these programs are integrated--e.g., exclusively delivered

through One-Stop; delivered through One-Stop and also elsewhere; not

delivered through One-Stop but accessible; information provided only,

including a description of these services; and

(C) The local body that coordinates these programs and services,

environment; how training needs were assessed, including the role of

front-line workers; how the value of the training was assessed; and

plans for continuing/future training.

2. Proposal to serve as a local learning laboratory. The grant

application must contain a proposal for how the local One-Stop Career

Center system will serve as a ``learning laboratory'' for the

development of a national One-Stop Career Center system. This section

of the grant application should provide detail on:

(a) The capabilities of the local One-Stop Career Center staff to

provide technical assistance and to test innovations;

(b) Unique features of the local system that provide the rationale

for designating this local system a ``learning laboratory'' for the

nation;

(c) A plan for delivering technical assistance, including the

target audience, materials to be developed and methods for

dissemination and marketing of services available;

(d) A plan for tracking and evaluating the effectiveness of the

local One-Stop system in serving as a ``learning laboratory;'' and

(e) The vision of how this local system fits into the broader

statewide and, ultimately, national One-Stop Career Center system.

3. Proposal to Serve as a Local One-Stop ``test site.'' The grant

application may contain a proposal to serve as a test site. It is

important that a local entity be able to test various features or

components of the One-Stop system in order to determine its workability

and replication. Proposals must address the ability and willingness of

the local site to be a test site and their capabilities in each area

proposed.

In this connection, applicants should be aware that ETA has an

interest in ensuring that there is a diversity among sites in the

approaches tested as part of this learning laboratory effort. Among the

features ETA would like to test and is particularly interested in

seeing operational in a local One-Stop Career Center system are:

(a) Methodologies for assessing customer satisfaction and their use

as a tool for continuous improvement;

(b) Implementing integrated services across programs, e.g. a case

management approach, and integration of service functions to increase

quality;

(c) Becoming the first LMI showcase for the use of technology to

deliver career information, job search assistance, assessment,

education and training provider information, job opportunities and

associated skill requirements;

(d) Testing successful approaches to working with employers,

including direct filing of job orders; direct access to the applicant

pool; direct access to other program, career, or labor market

information; employer connection to the job bank or talent bank; and

other methods of serving employers.

(e) Providing intensive front-line staff development that includes

emphasis on customer service and on delivery of services for multiple

programs with divergent eligibility requirements (perhaps in

conjunction with other capacity building initiatives);

(f) Operating a local One-Stop system in a local area that is also

serving as an Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance

(EDWAA) pioneer site; and

(g) Linking several initiatives or demonstration activities at the

local level, in such areas as School-to-Work, JOBS, and others which

would involve pooling funding from two or more initiatives or

demonstration projects.

ETA expects that only one local learning site will be funded to

test a particular feature or component rather than a single site

including all the approaches outlined above. ETA may not fund all of

the ideas listed, and, in addition, encourages applicants to propose

their own ideas for One-Stop (consistent with the design principles)

that need special testing and additional resources, which would benefit

the entire system.

4. Resource Requirements. The grant application must include, in

addition to completion of the Budget Information form, a break-down of

costs, including both federal and non-federal resources, that are

proposed for:

(a) Planned improvements in access and method of delivery of

services;

(b) Additional programs/services that will be integrated into the

local One-Stop system;

(c) Software enhancements to improve case management and/or

delivery of services, including labor market information;

(d) Hiring additional staff;

(e) Specialized staff training;

(f) Hardware acquisitions, including the type and purposes;

(g) Reconfiguration and upgrading of space to enhance the office

environment so that it is more ``user friendly'' and attractive to

customers;

(h) System enhancement to upgrade the labor market information

system, broken down by major cost category (for example, staff

training, software development, hardware acquisition, improvement in

facilities);

(i) Testing and evaluating innovations in One-Stop system delivery;

and

(j) Marketing/dissemination and for serving as a local

demonstration site, broken down by staff costs, materials and other

resources.

Note: Budget form: Local Learning Laboratory Budget Detail is

being provided as a supplement to the ``Budget Information Sheet.''

5. Contacts. The proposal must include the designated Program

Official and Fiscal Agent responsible for this grant. Also, the process

for sub-allocating funds among the participating agencies should be

identified.

Part III. Evaluation Criteria for Award

Grant applicants are advised that there will be a two-stage review

process used to evaluate applications. Prior to the formal review,

applications will be reviewed to insure that all the information

requested in this grant application is provided and complete.

Completed applications will be reviewed by a regional rating panel

in a different region. The results of this review will be forwarded to

the National Office for further review of the top-rated applications.

Each panelist will review the applications according to the rating

criteria listed below. The panels' recommendations are advisory in

nature to the Grant Officer. Final selection is based on overall

quality, geographic location, diversity in approach, diversity in sites

as to composition of the local labor market and what is in the best

interests of the government.
