Request/Subject

Contract number correction to a new Disability Related Employment Services Contract with Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) to replace Contract No. DE126000-001.

Background Information

DES Contract No. DE126000-001 is an existing contract which expires on June 30, 2015. The Board of Supervisors approved a new contract to replace this contract with DES on June 23, 2015, for disability related employment services. The new contract however, was designated in the staff report and the signature page as Contract No. DE126000-001, which was incorrect. The new contract has not yet been assigned a contract number by the State; therefore, this agenda item is an administrative correction to the contract previously approved by the Board. The new contract (number to be determined by the State) replaces Contract No. DE126000-001, which is a contract with Gila Employment and Special Training (GEST) for job development and placement.

Additionally, the contract was rejected by DES because of a change in the length of the contract. The contract terms are now July 1, 2015, or on the date of the last signature, whichever comes later, and shall terminate on June 30, 2016, unless extended according to the DES Special Terms and Conditions. The previous contract term was three years.

Evaluation

This contract allows the Gila County GEST Program to provide Disability Related Employment Services to those clients whose Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES), Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) authorization indicated a specific need for this service.

Conclusion

By the Board of Supervisors approving this new contract, GEST will continue to provide Disability Related Employment Services to those DES/RSA clients who are authorized and have indicated a specific need for this service.

Recommendation

The Community Services Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the revised contract terms and administrative correction to the contract number for Disability Related Employment Services, which will enable GEST to provide employment services to Vocational Rehabilitation clients in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Approval of a corrected Disability Related Employment Services Contract between the Arizona Department of Economic Security, Rehabilitation Services Administration and Gila County d/b/a Gila Employment and Special Training that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 23, 2015. The new contract period is July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016, and the old contract number DE1260001-001 was removed from the contract signature page.
