BACKGROUND
The competitive request for proposals was published by the Gaston County Workforce Development Board for the delivery of services for the WIOA Youth Program through the WIOA Grant.
Purchase and Service Contracts containing federal funds of any source, type or amount, must follow Uniform Guidance as codified in 2 C.F.R. Part 200. Per 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(d), Service Contracts of $250,000 or more (threshold based on total cost of award if multiple awards) can be procured per the Competitive Proposal process when the sealed bid procedure is not appropriate for the particular type of service being sought. This competitive RFP process was conducted for services to be rendered for the Youth Program in accordance with the WIOA Grant.
Request for Proposals were publicized on the County’s website and on the NC DOA Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) site to meet the UG affirmative steps to solicit from M/WBE.
Although only one (1) proposal was received, it was received by the deadline of 6/22/21 by 4:00 pm. Proposal was evaluated on criteria established in the RFP documents. Award is recommended for approval to Gaston College in the amount of $306,856.
