STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The Bylaws of the North Richmond Waste & Recovery
Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee
(Committee) explain the purpose, structure, and
operations of the Committee. An amendment to the
Bylaws were recommended for approval by the
Committee in May 2017, but were not taken to the
Richmond City Council for action. City staff is bringing this item before City Council now to correct the previous oversight.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE the amended North Richmond Mitigation Fee Committee Bylaws - Library and Community Services
Department (Lori Reese-Brown 510-620-6869).

AGENDA
REPORT

October 18, 2022
DISCUSSION:

The Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee was established as a result of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill (WCCSL) Bulk Materials Processing Center (BMPC) project that was approved in 2004. In July 2004, the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to jointly administer Mitigation Fee monies collected from the BMPC for the benefit of the incorporated and unincorporated North Richmond area.

The North Richmond Waste and Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee (Committee) was formed in 2005 by the City of Richmond and County of Contra Costa to help prevent and combat illegal dumping in incorporated and unincorporated North Richmond through the preparation of annual expenditure plans which are subject to the approval by the County Board of Supervisors and the Richmond City Council. The expenditure plans include descriptions of the annual activities or strategies that are funded with North Richmond mitigation fees.

The bylaws set forth the regulations on the Committee’s role and are amended periodically to support the Committee’s advisory authority and role for implementing the Memorandum of Understanding (Adopted in 2004) between the City and County and providing oversight of the annual expenditure plans.

An amendment to the Bylaws were recommended for approval by the Committee in May 2017 but were not taken to the Richmond City Council for action, resulting in the original bylaws remaining in effect. The amended bylaws clarified the following:

1. The Committee is to provide the City and the County recommended spending plans describing allowable activities (strategies) and associated budgets during each Expenditure Plan cycle.

2. Each Expenditure Plan shall govern use of funding on a fiscal year cycle.

3. The Committee’s authority and role is based on the MOU approved in 2004 and all suggested allocations of Mitigation Fee funding shall be consistent with the purposes specified in the MOU, the associated EIR, and use permits approved by the City and County.

4. Other minor clarifications and general updates related to Brown Act requirements and the County’s Better Government Ordinance.

The County Board of Supervisors approved the amended bylaws on June 11, 2019. To rectify this oversight, City staff is bringing the amended bylaws before City Council for approval.

Attachment 1 – Amended Bylaws: North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee / Joint Expenditure Planning Committee

AMENDED BYLAWS

NORTH RICHMOND WASTE & RECOVERY MITIGATION FEE

JOINT EXPENDITURE PLANNING COMMITTEE
With consensus of the North Richmond Waste & Recovery Mitigation Fee Joint Expenditure Planning Committee, these Bylaws were submitted and approved by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City Council on April 1, 2008. Amendments proposed by the Committee in June 2017 for consideration and approval.

I. Purpose & Objectives of the Committee
The purpose of the Committee is to provide the City and County with recommended spending plans (Expenditure Plans) describing allowable activities (Strategies) and associated budget allocations to be funded with North Richmond Mitigation Fees during each Expenditure Plan cycle. Each Expenditure Plan shall govern use of funding on a fiscal year cycle (beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th of each year), providing the City and County with the authority to utilize allocated funding amounts for actual expenditures directly resulting from allowable activities that are performed or conducted during the applicable fiscal year. Committee recommended Expenditure Plans are to be presented to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the Richmond City Council for final approval. This Expenditure Plan process provides the means for the County and City to jointly administer the Mitigation Fee funding for the benefit of both the unincorporated and incorporated areas of North Richmond.

The Committee’s advisory authority and role is based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and County which was originally approved in 2004. The Committee has been charged with developing suggested allocation of Mitigation Fee funding consistent with the purposes specified in the legally-binding MOU and associated Environmental Impact Report and Use Permits approved by the City and County.

The Committee is only authorized to perform the above-described advisory function designated by the City and County. All actual decision-making authority is retained by the County and the City.

II. Structure and Operations of the Committee
a) The Committee shall consist of seven (7) voting members: three (3) members of the Richmond City Council, one (1) member representing the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, two (2) members of the North Richmond Municipal Advisory Committee appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (both of whom must reside in the unincorporated North Richmond area), and one (1) resident from the incorporated portion of North Richmond appointed by the Richmond City Council. The Committee will be governed by regulations in the

Committee staff will advise Committee members no less than two (2) weeks in advance if a regularly scheduled meeting should be cancelled due to lack of issues requiring their consideration or action. e) Establishment of standing and ad hoc committees shall be done on an as-needed basis. The establishment of standing and ad hoc committees and selection of members for these committees requires the approval of a majority of the Committee.
f) The Committee shall elect a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson for terms of two years.

Committee may only vote if there is a quorum of members or their alternates in attendance (four seats). When a quorum of the Committee is not present, meetings shall be adjourned without receiving public comment or further considering or discussing of any other items on the agenda. Staff may take recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and City Council in the absence of Committee voting to approve recommendations within the time period required to facilitate timely City and County approval, which may occur if a quorum of Committee members were unable to attend and vote at a scheduled meeting. Staff recommendations shall be submitted to the City Council and Board of Supervisors for final approval if/when necessitated in order to avoid terminating funding for ongoing Strategies resulting in potential gaps in service or to address other critical matters.
l) The Committee's recommendations shall normally be prepared and presented by Staff and be in the form of letters, resolutions or reports to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and Richmond City Council.
m) The Committee shall have Staff submit an annual (calendar year) report in December of each year to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors which may include, but is not necessarily limited to, the Committee's activities, accomplishments, attendance, and a proposed program for the forthcoming year.

AGENDA
REPORT

October 18, 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to ACCEPT and APPROPRIATE $4,672,695 in grant-funds received from California
Volunteers - Office of the Governor, U.S. Department of Labor YouthBUILD, and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency – Library and Community Services
Department (Tamara Walker 510-307-8006).

DISCUSSION:

City of Richmond’s Employment and Training Division was awarded a total of $4,672,695 in grant funds from three sources:
 California Volunteers - Office of the Governor in the amount of $2,972,695 (Attachment 1)
 U.S. Department of Labor YouthBUILD in the amount of $1,500,000 (Attachment 2)
 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the amount of $200,000 (Attachment 3) These funds will be used to provide Richmond youth and young adults, ages 16 – 30 years old, who are participating in the City’s YouthWORKS, Adult, and YouthBUILD programs with transitional employment, academic development, occupational skills training, career pathways, and on-the-job training opportunities in high-wage, high-growth industries. These new grants will significantly expand access to training and quality job placement opportunities for Richmond youth and young adults.

The Employment & Training Department will work in partnership with a myriad of organizations, including Public Works, Human Resources, Reentry Success Center, Richmond Police Activities League (RPAL), Tiny House In My Backyard (THIMBY), and Contra Costa Community College to hire and train up to 200 Richmond residents, ages 16 - 30 in high-growth, high-wage employment opportunities. These funding opportunities will allow program participants to gain work experience important to enhancing their qualifications and are advantageous toward their ultimate success.

Each participant will be allowed to work a maximum of 500 hours at $16 - $20/hr.

The City of Richmond would benefit by having this addition to their labor force to revitalize and cleanup the city, grow its own talent pool to fill open vacancies, increase the construction and clean energy skilled workforce, and other COVID-19 recovery efforts. The Employment & Training Department will provide recruitment, screening, and eligibility determination of program participants, as well as ongoing case management services.

To successfully implement these grants, City staff will work collaboratively with Human Resources to adjust position control to authorize Employment & Training to hire grantfunded, term positions. This item will be brought before City Council for approval in the upcoming months.

October 18, 2022
Per City of Richmond Resolution No. 141-00, the grants were previously accepted by City staff; however, the amounts have not yet been included in the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 budget. City staff, therefore, recommends that City Council ratify the acceptance and appropriation of these three grants and approve the expenditures as noted above (Attachment 4).

City of Richmond For All Youth Workforce Development Program RFA#JP12-002
Section 1: Program Goals
The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic downturn are having staggering effects on young adults. Young people are typically among the hardest-hit groups during recessions and getting off to a bad start in the labor market can have long-term effects.

Prior to the pandemic, young people aged 16 -24 were already disproportionately adversely affected in the labor markets compared to other age groups. Even as the nation enjoyed record low unemployment rated between 2016 and early 202, young people experienced unemployment rates twice as high as the national average. Experts estimate that the number of young people between the ages of 16 -24 who are not in school or working will easily top 6 million and could swell to almost one-quarter of all young people.

Thus, young people are facing a catastrophic crisis, and we can’t wait to act. The window for action is open, but we need to move swiftly. We need a society, economy and community designed to care for all people, especially young people, who are the most important and most affected stakeholder when talking about our global future.

Therefore, the City of Richmond has made young people the heart of it’s COVID-19 recovery by helping them prepare for work and life as engaged citizens. Richmond has prioritized education, civic engagement, and employment for Richmond youth.

Our goals are as follows:
• Improve the health and well-being of the community by providing valuable educational, social, and environmental services
• Prevent long-term unemployment among young adults and reduce economic hardship. • Help young people prepare for future good jobs by offering a more affordable route to postsecondary education and giving them the chance to learn new skills, gain work experience, and expand their social and professional networks. • Rebuild civic and social connections by bringing participants from different backgrounds, income levels, races, ethnicities and area of the city together to share experiences to solve public challenges.

Exhibit A Scope of Work
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6D84046E-A820-4E5E-9EAE-B1DF93C651B0

We cannot fail in the crucial task pf promoting equal opportunities for all young people to thrive.

The pandemic has interrupted the education, socialization, and employment of tens of millions of children and young adults – disproportionately hurting those from low-income families and communities of color.

As we recover, we must aim higher and think bigger, rather than returning to the economic and social status quo.

It is our responsibility, as local government, to provide an avenue for young people to support themselves financially, carry out meaningful and productive work, learn new skills, and expand their networks to prepare for a leadership role in the future.

The City of Richmond For All Youth Workforce Program is designed and administered by Richmond YouthWORKS, a department within the city, in partnership with the Richmond Police Activities League, RichmondBuild, Richmond YouthBuild, Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety, Richmond Police Cadet, Richmond Fire Department Explorers, West Contra Costa Unified School District, THIMBY, and Contra Costa College.

All program partners have over 10 years of providing youth development and employment and training opportunities for at-risk, low income Richmond youth.

In addition, we will partner with several community-based organization to provide a holistic approach to addressing the needs of the young people who participate in the program.

The program will target 150 at-risk, low-income Richmond youth, ages 16 – 30, who identify as Opportunity Youth (unemployed/not in school), justice-involved, or have aged out of the foster care system. We will serve a minimum of 75 youth per year in year-round/summer employment opportunities beginning May 1, 2022.

The program will focus on building and expanding career pathways, addressing climate control and food insecurities, and provide meaningful service opportunities to assist COVID-19 recovery in the community.

Each youth referred to the program will go through an intake process which includes a resiliency and needs assessment. Upon completion of their assessments, each participant will receive a Career Action Plan. A career action plan is a dynamic planning document owned and managed by young people intended to reflect their increased career development learning. The plan helps young people: set their goals. clarify the actions needed to achieve these goals.

Participants can participate in the following programs:
• Career Support – All participants will be required to attend our Career Support workshops. The workshops designed to prepare youth for employment providing soft skills training in order to increase the youth’s employability in a short amount of time.

The workshop is comprised of modules on professionalism, workplace conflict resolution, workplace safety, financial management, resume writing, job search and interview techniques and job retention.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6D84046E-A820-4E5E-9EAE-B1DF93C651B0

• Life Skills – All participants will be required to attend our Life Skills workshops. The workshops give youth the ability to learn new skills that increase their understanding of the world around them and equip them with the tools they need to live a more productive and fulfilling life; to finding ways to cope with the challenges that life, inevitably, throws at them.
• Public works and environmental conservation/restoration program – Participants will address long-standing conservation, restoration, and climate change needs such as maintenance backlog in public parks, and coastal ecosystem restoration, neighborhood beautification, and disaster preparedness as a result of COVID-19. • RPAL Farm, Garden and Culinary Arts program – Participants will be introduced to the local agricultural industry and build new and essential life skills through farming, gardening, cooking and food literacy. Young people will have the ability to make healthy food choices by having the skills and knowledge necessary to buy, grow, and cook food with implication for improving individual, family, and community health. • Tiny House In My Backyard (THIMBY) – Participants will participate in the design and construction of carbon neutral, off-grid capable transitional housing for low-income and unhoused Richmond residents. This student-led housing initiative was developed by UC Berkeley students to address the acute housing crisis in the region, which has been especially exacerbated in the wake of COVID-19.
• Public Service & Safety Corp – A career pathway program and pipeline that teaches the critical skills needed for and entry into public service and safety careers. • RichmondBuild and YouthBuild - Participants work toward their GEDs or high school diplomas (if appropriate), learn job skills, and work on community projects. The program provides participants with intensive hands-on training in industry-recognized certifications and supports their progress toward a lucrative career in the construction industry.

Section 3: Youth Recruitment/Development
Participants for the City of Richmond For All Youth Workforce Development program are atrisk, low-income Richmond Youth, ages 16 – 30, who identify as Opportunity Youth (unemployed/not in school), justice-involved, and/or have aged out of the foster care system.

YouthBuild Grant
City of Richmond
Conditions of Award
YB-38206-22-60-A-6
As part of the Condition(s) of Award to receiving the YouthBuild Grant, the U.S.

Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has identified the following area(s) that require further clarification and/or modification.

Please note that a submittal of the required document(s) does not constitute approval by DOL/ETA. A grant modification will need to be submitted and final approval must be given by the Grant Officer (GO). Your Federal Project Officer (FPO) will review the documentation and then submit it to the GO for formal approval as a modification to the grant agreement. Once approved, the revised document(s) will comprise the official modification to this grant agreement and the special conditions will be resolved. Any questions related to the below items must be submitted to your FPO.

Condition 1 – CONDITIONALLY APPROVED FUNDING – Construction Plus – Not approved or partially approved
This YouthBuild grant award is funded in the amount specified above; however, is conditionally approved with an initial increment of $80,000. This constitutes a Partial Notice to Proceed. Release of additional funds up to the amount approved for your project will be based on your ability to address the conditions of the award. The grantee is not authorized to incur costs above $80,000.

The Construction Plus component of your application is not approved as a whole, or in part. Therefore, to protect government funds from being expended on potentially unallowable activities, the Grant Officer has elected to limit the initial funding available for the project. Please review the condition of award concerning the Construction Plus programming for additional information and instructions on resolution.

Please note that submission of the requested information does not in itself constitute approval by DOL/ETA, and final approval must be given by the Grant Officer. Should the provided documentation be found satisfactory, a Full Notice to Proceed will be incorporated into your grant agreement as an official modification and additional funds will be released.

Questions pertaining to your submission responding to these conditions should be directed to your FPO.

Condition 2 – Financial and Administrative Policies and Procedures (Partial Notice to Proceed)
Submit a copy of your organization’s financial and administrative policies and procedures for the following internal control activities, which require written procedures.

The included citations provide the specific criteria that must be addressed for each internal control:

Payments (2 CFR 200.302(b)(6) and 2 CFR 200.305),
Allowable costs (2 CFR 200.302(b)(7) and 2 CFR 200.403), Procurement (2 CFR 200.318),
Competition (2 CFR 200.319),
Method for evaluation and selection (2 CFR 200.320),
Compensation - personal services and fringe benefits (2 CFR 200.430 and 2 CFR 200.431),
Employee relocation costs (2 CFR 200.464), and
Travel costs (2 CFR 200.475).

DOL/ETA will review the information and for this purpose may request additional information, conduct a desk review and/or on-site visit with grantee staff and/or the Board of Directors.

A response to the this request for clarification and modification must be submitted to your FPO within 90 days of receipt of this grant award package.

The FPO will review the submitted policies and procedures to ensure that all of the required internal control policies and procedures listed above have been submitted. If each of the required policies and procedures has been received, the FPO will submit a confirmation statement (an email or letter, attached in the Requisition/Procurement Action Request) that DOL/ETA is in receipt of the required policies and procedures.

The removal of this condition does not imply approval of the submitted financial and administrative policies and procedures.

A response to the following conditions must be submitted to your FPO within 30 days of receipt of this grant award package as either a clarification or modification request.

Condition 3 – Construction Plus Programming Not Approved The Construction Plus programming in Forklift Operator field is not approved because:
• The Construction Plus programming does not result in a credential that rises to the level of an industry-recognized credential. As described in TEGL 7-14, an example of a non-qualifying credential includes a single skill certificate.

Consult the FOA, Section III.C.6-7, Pgs 16-18 and Section IV.B.3(B)(1), Pgs 28-29 for additional information.

You must submit an updated project narrative, budget narrative, SF-424A, and match narrative (if applicable) to meet the requirements of the Construction Plus program from the project. Please submit this documentation to your FPO within 30 days.

If you feel that the above determination is in error, please submit a revised Construction Plus Field Proposal to your Federal Project Officer within 30 days for reconsideration.

Until the above is resolved, the funding allocated to your project is limited, as described on the Notice of Award. The remainder of the funds will be allocated towards the project after satisfactory documentation is submitted and the Grant Officer approves and executes an official modification to the grant award.

Condition 4 – Cost-Per-Participant
In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, all grantees must not exceed an $18,000 cost-per-participant. Cost per Participant is calculated by dividing the total amount of Federal funding by the number of proposed enrolled participants.

Your application does not meet the requirements. Please modify the Statement of Work and/or Budget Narrative and SF-424A to meet the requirements and submit the requested information to your Federal Project Officer (FPO) within 30 days from the date of award.

Condition 5 – Annual Housing Census
In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, all grantees are required to complete the Annual Housing Census form for each reporting year for the period of August 1st – July 31st as a means of tracking the total units of housing completed by YouthBuild programs.

As of April 4th, 2022, your organization has not completed an Annual Housing Census form for August 1st 2020 – July 31st 2021, for grant number YB-34247-19-60-A-6.

Please submit the above required documentation to your Federal Project Officer (FPO) within 30 days from the date of award.

Condition 6 – Budget Narrative
The Budget Narrative must include enough details for all expenditures to demonstrate their valuations and adherence to the Uniform Guidance Cost Principles. Specifically, the budget narrative must clarify the following:
• Other-A further breakdown and justification is needed to fully understand the costs associated with Participant Stipends ($96,000). Please elaborate on what makes up these costs per participant ($1,500).

The grantee must submit a budget modification request which includes the following:
1) An SF-424A whose totals align with any revised subtotals indicated on the revised budget narrative, including any claimed indirect costs.

2) A revised budget narrative which addresses and breaks down the entirety of each line reflected on the SF-424A as outlined above. The budget narrative must contain costs per entry in each category which add up to the indicated line item total with enough information to ascertain whether the represented totals are mathematically accurate.

To resolve, please submit a revised Budget Narrative with the accompanying SF-424A as a Budget Realignment or Budget Clarification modification request to your FPO.

Condition 7 – Budget Clarification (Indirect Costs – 10% De Minimis) The grantee has incorporated indirect costs into the budget, but has not submitted a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA). It is not clear whether the grantee is claiming indirect costs under a NICRA or electing to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate if eligible.

To resolve, you must either remove the indirect costs from the budget and request a budget realignment modification, submit a NICRA to confirm that the indirect costs were calculated accurately, or, if eligible, request the use of the 10 percent de minimis rate.

If you intend to claim indirect costs using the 10 percent de minimis rate, please confirm that your organization meets the requirements as described in 2 CFR 200.414(f). Clearly state that your organization does not have a current negotiated (including provisional) rate, and your organization is not one described in 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix VII of paragraph (D)(1)(b).

Applicants choosing to claim indirect costs using the de minimis rate must use Modified Total Direct Costs (see 2 CFR 200.1 below for definition) as their cost allocation base.

Provide an explanation of which portion of each line item, along with the associated costs, are included in your cost allocation base. Note that there are various items not included in the calculation of Modified Total Direct Costs.

See the definitions below to assist you in your calculation. • 2 CFR 200.1 Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) means all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 of each subaward (regardless of the period of performance of the subawards under the award). MTDC excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each subaward in excess of $25,000. Other items may be excluded only when necessary to avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs, and with the approval of the cognizant agency for indirect costs.

The definition of MTDC in 2 CFR 200.1 no longer allows any sub-contracts to be included in the calculation. You will also note that participant support costs are not included in modified total direct cost. Participant support costs are defined below.

• 2 CFR 200.1 Participant Support Cost means direct costs for items such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences, or training projects.

Please work with your Federal Project Officer (FPO) to determine the best approach for resolving this condition. Your FPO can direct you to additional resources and information on this topic as needed.

Condition 8 – Identification of Matching Funding Sources The grantee’s application did not clearly identify the source of matching funds.

Clarification is required to clearly explain the original source of funding. Your application may also have identified other unallowable uses or sources of matching funds. Proposed matching funds must be documented clearly through Letters of Commitment or MOUs that detail both the source and commitment of funds from any contributing partners. As a reminder, funds that are Federal in origin do not qualify as matching funds and do not contribute to the mandatory 25% match requirement.

This information was missing or needs clarification:
• The City of Richmond Housing Authority’s Letter did not list commitment amount of $360,000 as stated in match narrative.

Please submit the requested documentation to your Federal Project Officer (FPO).

Notice of Requirement for Registration with SAM
A recipient must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active Federal award or an application under consideration.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the applicant is required to review and update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration or subsequently update its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate, and complete.

Your SAM registration is set to expire on May 26, 2022.

Please ensure that your SAM registration stays active for the duration of the period of performance of this grant. This condition of award does not require a grant modification for resolution.

ALL GRANTEES:

Submit Annual Housing Census
In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, all grantees must complete the Annual HousingCensus Formof the ETA-9143 in August of each year of their program cycle as a means of tracking the total number of completed unit(s) of housing by their YouthBuild program. Grantees will receive a notification from DOL in July as a reminder to submit the Annual Housing Census. Grantees should be tracking the units of housing that are completed between August 1st and July 31st of each year in order to facilitate this required data collection.

This information is requested to report to Congress and other stakeholders the valuable contributions made by the young people in your programs for your community. It is understood that it will take longer to build or renovate property when using these sites as training sites. For reference, the current ETA-9143 form can be found here:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/youth/youthbuild
Restrictive CovenantClause
In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, all properties rehabilitated or constructed using DOL YouthBuild grant funds require a restrictive covenant clause be included in the deed of said properties that ensures that for a period of at least five years, all residential housing that is constructed or rehabilitated with DOL YouthBuild funds must be rented or sold to low-income or homeless individuals or families. For further information on the restrictive covenant requirements, see 20 CFR 688.730.

Matching Funds Must be Expended
In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, all grantees are required to provide and expend cash (funds committed specifically to support this grant project, not prior investments), in-kind or third party resources equivalent to exactly 25 percent of the grant award amount as “matching” funds. All matching funds or contributions must be expended on allowable grant activities and in accordance with the cost principles outlined in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200. Match can be in the form of cash, in-kind contributions and third-party contributions and must meet the requirement found at 2 CFR 200.306, 2 CFR 200.403, 2 CFR 200.434, and 2 CFR 2900.8. 2 CFR 2900.8 requires that match is recognized at the time in which the funds are expended. In other words, proposed matching funds (revenue or contribution) are recognized when expended on grant activities.

During the grant period of performance and close-out, you will need to provide source documentation and accounting records to show what revenue stream or fund source was used to pay for the expenses incurred related to the matching funds. This may be through a chart of accounts and financial statements such as a Revenue and Expense statement or Project Status report.

RESEARCH AND REPORTS
The evaluation was launched in 2010 and used a random assignment design to examine the impacts of YouthBuild as implemented by 75 programs operating nationwide. For the evaluation, eligible individuals in the 75 sites were assigned at random either to a program group, which was eligible to participate in YouthBuild, or to a control group, which was not eligible to participate in YouthBuild. Both groups had access to all other services available in the community.

1. Order of Precedence
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Notice of Award (NOA) and other requirements, the following order of precedence shall apply:

I. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.

II. Other applicable Federal statutes.

III. Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 (Public Law 116-260) dated December 27, 2020.

IV. Implementing Regulations.

V. Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda.

VI. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance, including the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200 and 2900.

VII. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)/Employment and Training Administation (ETA) Directives.

VIII. Terms and conditions of this award.

2. Notice of Award
The funds shall be obligated and allocated via a NOA grant modification. These obligations and expenditures may not exceed the amount awarded by the NOA modification unless otherwise modified by the ETA.

3. Funding Opportunity Announcement
The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
[https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/grants/FOA-ETA-22-01.pdf] and amendment [https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/grants/FOA-ETA-22- 01_Amendment%20One.pdf] are hereby incorporated into this NOA. Award recipients are bound by the authorizations, restrictions, and requirements contained in the FOA.

Therefore, the expenditure of grant funds by the award recipient certifies that your organization has read and will comply with all the parts that are contained in the NOA.

4. Administrative Law Judge Removal of Award
By drawing down funds, your organization as the award recipient agrees to the provisions of 20 CFR 683.820(b)(6), which states:
“Any organization selected and/or funded under WIOA Title I, Subtitle D, is subject to having its award removed if an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) decision so orders. As part of this process, the Grant Officer will provide instructions on transition and closeout to both the newly selected grant recipient and to the grant recipient whose positions is affected or which is being removed.”

5. Federal Project Officer
The DOL/ETA Federal Project Officer (FPO) for this award is:

6. Indirect Cost Rate and Cost Allocation Plan
Indirect (facilities & administrative (F&A)) costs meansthose costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. Direct costs, by contrast, can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective, such as a Federal award, or other internally or externally funded activity, or that can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Identification with the Federal award rather than the nature of the goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect (F&A) costs of Federal awards.

If the DOL serves as the Federal Cognizant Agency (FCA) for the grant award recipient, then the grant recipient must work with DOL’s Cost & Price Determination Division (CPDD), which has delegated authority to negotiate and issue a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) on behalf of the Federal Government. More information about the DOL’s CPDD is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/centers-offices/office-of-the-senior-procurementexecutive/cost-price-determination-division. This website has guidelines to develop indirect cost rates, links to the applicable cost principles, and contact information. The CPDD also has Frequently Asked Questions to provide general information about the indirect cost rate approval process and due dates for provisional and final indirect cost rate proposals at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/centers-offices/office-of-thesenior-procurement-executive/cost-price-determination-division/faq.

If a new NICRA is issued during the grant’s period of performance, it must be provided to DOL within 30 days of issuance. Funds may be re-budgeted as necessary between direct cost categories as long as it is consistent with the Budget Flexibility term within this agreement, grant requirements, and DOL regulations on prior approval. However, the total amount of the grant award will not be increased.
☐ A. A federally approved NICRA or federally approved CAP covering a portion of the grant period of performance is attached.

Regarding only the NICRA:
(1) Indirect Rate approved: %
(2) Type of Indirect Cost Rate: ___________ (i.e. Provisional/Predetermined/ Fixed)
(3) Allocation Distribution Base: __________
Name: Marjorie Fong
Telephon e: 415-625-7963
E-mail: [email protected]
The FPO is not authorized to change any of the terms or conditions of the award, or approve prior approval requests. Any changes to the terms or conditions or prior approvals must be approved by the Grant Officer through the use of a formally executed award modification process.

(4) Current beginning and ending period applicable to rate: ______________ Estimated Indirect Costs are shown on the SF-424A budget form. ☐ B. (1)______The provided NICRA or CAP approved by the FCA does not cover a portion of the period of performance, or
(2)______Indirect costs are being claimed on the SF-424A, however an indirect cost rate proposal or CAP has not yet been submitted for approval to the FCA.

URGENT NOTICE: Estimated indirect costs have been specified on the SF424A, Section B, Object Class Category “j”, however only $N/A will be released to support the indirect costs in the absence of a NICRA or CAP approved by the FCA. The remaining funds which have been awarded for Indirect Costs are restricted and may not be used for any purpose until the recipient provides a signed copy of the NICRA or CAP and receive documentation stating that the restriction is lifted by the Grant Officer. Upon receipt of the NICRA or CAP, the Grant Officer will issue a grant modification to the award to remove the restriction on those funds.

As the grant award recipient, the grant recipient must submit an indirect cost rate proposal or CAP. If the FCA for indirect costs is DOL, these documents should be submitted to the DOL’s Cost & Price Determination Division (CPDD) (see https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/centers-offices/office-of-the-seniorprocurement-executive/cost-price-determination-division ). Otherwise, they should be submitted to the grant award recipient’s FCA. Alternatively, the grant recipient may request the de minimis rate if eligible (see section D. below). In addition, the recipient must notify the FPO that the documents have been submitted to the appropriate FCA.

If the grant recipient does not submit a NICRA proposal within 90 days of award, they will be limited to the de minimis rate of 10% of Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). See section D. below for more details and definitions. ☐ C. The grant award recipient elected to exclude indirect costs from the proposed budget. Please be aware that incurred indirect costs (such as top management salaries, financial oversight, human resources, payroll, personnel, auditing costs, accounting and legal, etc. used for the general oversight and administration of the organization) must not be classified as direct costs; these types of costs are indirect costs. Only direct costs, as defined by the applicable cost principles, will be charged. According to 2 CFR 200.412, if indirect costs are misclassified as direct costs, such costs may become disallowed through an audit. ☒ D. The grant award recipient does not have a current negotiated (including provisional) rate and may elect to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC) which may be used indefinitely. A governmental

department or agency unit that receives more than $35 million in direct Federal funding must submit its indirect cost rate proposal to its cognizant agency for indirect costs and cannot request a de minimis rate. This methodology must be used consistently for all Federal grant awards until such time as the grant award recipient chooses to negotiate for an indirect cost rate, which the grant recipient may apply to do at any time. See 2 CFR 200.414(f) for more information on use of the de minimis rate. Please be aware that incurred indirect type costs (such as top management salaries, financial oversight, human resources, payroll, personnel, auditing costs, accounting and legal, etc. used for the general oversight and administration of the organization) must not be classified as direct costs; these types of costs are recovered as part of charging the de minimis rate.

All grant recipients with an approved NICRA or de minimis rate must report indirect costs on their FINAL ETA-9130 Report. If a grant recipient has a NICRA and a CAP, only the indirect costs tied to the NICRA are reported on the ETA-9130 Report. The grant recipient may refer to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 20-19 and https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/grants/pdfs/ETA9130_Financial_Reporting_Resources.pdf for additional guidance.

7. Approved Statement of Work
This project’s narrative is the approved SOW. It has been included as Attachment D. If there is any inconsistency between the project narrative and the program statute, appropriation, regulations, Executive Orders, Uniform Guidance, and DOL/ETA directives, the order of precedence (as described in Section 1. above) will prevail.

8. Approved Budget
The grant award recipient’s budget documents are attached in this NOA. The documents are: 1) the SF-424, included as Attachment A; 2) the SF-424 A, included as Attachment B; and 3) the Budget Narrative, included as Attachment C. The grant award recipient must confirm that all costs are allowable, reasonable, necessary, and allocable before charging any expense. Pursuant to 2 CFR 2900.1, the approval of the budget as awarded does not constitute prior approval of those items specified in 2 CFR part 200 or as a part of the grant award as requiring prior approval. The Grant Officer is the only official with the authority to provide such approval.

Any changes to the budget that impact the Statement of Work (SOW) and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables will require a request for modification and prior approval from the Grant Officer.

If the period of performance will include multiple budget periods, subsequent budget periods are subject to the availability of funds, program authority, satisfactory performance, and compliance terms and conditions of the Federal award.

9. Return of Funds
DOL/ETA does not accept paper checks for any type of returned funds. For active grants, all returns of funds are to be submitted electronically through the PMS operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via the same method as a drawdown. For grants that have been cancelled or are expired (typically older than five years), incoming payments, including returns and recoveries to DOL, must be made via the Pay.gov website (https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/177233981).

If there are questions regarding the return of funds or your organization no longer has access to PMS, contact the DOL, ETA, Office of Financial Administration via email at:

[email protected] for further assistance.

10. Evaluation, Data, and Implementation
As the grant award recipient, the grant recipient must cooperate during the implementation of a third-party evaluation. This means providing DOL or its authorized contractor with the appropriate data and access to program operating personnel and participants in a timely manner.

11. Cost Limitation Restrictions
a. Administrative Costs
Administrative costs are defined in the WIOA at 20 CFR 683.215. There is a 10% limitation on administrative costs on funds awarded under this grant. Under no circumstances may administrative costs exceed this limit. The grant recipient will be monitored for compliance with the administrative cost limit throughout the grant’s period of performance. Any amounts found exceeding this limitation at closeout will be disallowed and subject to debt collection.
b. Budget Flexibility
Grant recipients are not permitted to make transfers that would cause any funds to be used for purposes other than those consistent with this Federal program. Any budget changes that impact the SOW and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables require a request for modification and approval from the Grant Officer.

As directed in 2 CFR 200.308(e),for programs where the Federal share is over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) (currently $250,000), the transfer of funds among direct cost categories or programs, functions, and activities is restricted such that if the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10% of the total budget as last approved by the Federal awarding agency, the recipient must receive prior approval from the Grant Officer. Any changes within a specific cost category on the SF424(a) do not require a grant modification unless the change results in a cumulative transfer among direct cost categories exceeding 10% of total budget. It is recommended that the assigned FPO review any within-line changes to the grant award recipient’s budget prior to implementation to ensure they do not require a modification.

For programs where the Federal share of the project is below the SAT of $250,000, recipients are not required to obtain the Grant Officer’s approval when transferring funds among direct cost categories.
c. Consultants
For the purposes of this grant award, the ETA’s Grant Officer has determined that fees paid to a consultant who provides services under a program shall be limited to $750.00 a day (representing an eight-hour workday). Such costs must be reasonable, allocable and allowable to the program. Any fees paid in excess of this amount cannot be paid without prior approval from the Grant Officer.
d. Non-Federal Share (Match or Cost Share)
This grant award includes a non-Federal share (match or cost share) equaling 25% of the total Federal share of costs. The costs that the recipient incurs in fulfilling its matching or cost-sharing requirement are subject to the same requirements, including the cost principles that are applicable to the use of Federal funds. Such costs must be reasonable, allocable and allowable to the program. In addition, those costs must adhere to the guidelines specified in 2 CFR 200.306, and be verifiable in the recipient’s records with proof that prior approval where required was obtained. Match must be expended as required at 2 CFR 2900.8 before it can be recognized and reported as match on the ETA9130 report. Whether in cash or in-kind, the non-Federal share is expected to adhere to the same cost limitations. The grant award recipient cannot claim a cost as both an allowable cost and as a match expenditure.

The match or cost-sharing requirement must be met at the time all such funds have been expended or the period of availability of such funds has expired, whichever comes first. If the required match is not met, grant recipeints will be responsible for reimbursing ETA the amount of unmet match when the grant is closed. Cost share or match must be reported on the quarterly ETA-9130 financial report under the Recipient Share section. e. Travel
This award waives the prior approval requirement for domestic travel as contained in 2 CFR 200.475. For domestic travel to be an allowable cost, it must be necessary, allowable, reasonable, allocable and conform to the non-Federal entity’s written policies and procedures. All travel must also comply with Fly America Act (49 USC 40118), which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price, must be performed by, or under a code-sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier if service provided by such carrier is available.
f. Travel – Foreign
Foreign travel is not allowable except with prior written approval from the Grant Officer through the process described in 2 CFR 200.407 and 2 CFR 2900.16. All travel, both domestic and Grant Officer approved foreign travel, must comply with the Fly America Act (49 USC 40118), which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price, must be performed by, or under a code-sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier

if service provided by such carrier is available.
g. Travel – Mileage Reimbursement Rates
Pursuant to 2 CFR 200.475(a), all award recipients must have policies and procedures in place related to travel costs; however, for reimbursement on a mileage basis, this Federal grant award cannot be charged more than the maximum allowable mileage reimbursement rates for Federal employees. Mileage rates must be checked annually at www.gsa.gov/mileage to ensure compliance.
h. WIOA Infrastructure
WIOA, Section 121(b)(1)(B) and 20 CFR 678.400 require the following programs to be One-Stop partners:

A. WIOA, Title I programs: Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth formula programs, Job Corps, YouthBuild, Native American programs, National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG), and NFJP;
B. Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service (ES) program authorized under the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49 et seq.), as amended by WIOA, Title III; C. SCSEP authorized under Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965; D. Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) activities authorized under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974;
E. Unemployment Compensation (UC) programs;
F. Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) programs authorized under Chapter 41 of Title 38, U.S.C.; and
G. Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) programs (formerly known as the Reintegration of Ex-Offenders Program (RExO) awarded prior to January 1, 2019 which were authorized under Section 212 of the Second Chance Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 17532).

With the exception of Native American programs established under WIOA, Section 166 all One-Stop partner programs, including all programs that are funded under Title I of WIOA, are required to contribute to the infrastructure costs and certain additional costs of the One-Stop delivery system in proportion to their use and relative benefits received, per 20 CFR 678.700 and 678.760.While Native American programs are not required to contribute to infrastructure costs per WIOA Section 121(h)(2)(D)(iv), they are strongly encouraged to contribute as stated in TEGL No. 17-16. The sharing and allocation of infrastructure costs between One-Stop partners is governed by WIOA Section 121(h), WIOA’s implementing regulations, and the Federal Cost Principles contained in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR part 200 and DOL’s exceptions at 2 CFR part 2900.

If not deemed a required one-stop partner, it is strongly recommended that the grant recipient partner with the local WIOA one-stop delivery system in its service area(s). The one-stop system can assist with referrals, labor market information, and many other services that will directly benefit the management and performance of your grant. The one-stop system also provides access to a wide range of publicly- and privately-funded education, employment, training, and supportive services while also providing high-quality customer service to job seekers, workers, and businesses.

12. Administrative Requirements
a. Audits
Organization-wide or program-specific audits must be performed in accordance with Subpart F, the Audit Requirements of the Uniform Guidance. DOL awards recipients that expend $750,000 or more in a year from any Federal awards must have an audit conducted for that year in accordance with the requirements contained in 2 CFR 200.501.

OMB’s approved exception at 2 CFR 2900.2 expands the definition of ‘non-Federal entity’ to include for-profit entities and foreign entities. As such, for-profit and foreign entities that are recipients/subrecipients of a DOL award must adhere to the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200, including Subpart F. Audits of direct award recipients that are for-profit and foreign entities must be submitted directly to: USDOL ETA-OGM, Attn:

Audit Resolution, 200 Constitution Ave NW, Room N4716, Washington, DC 20210. All other audit reports are submitted through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. b. Revisions to the Uniform Guidance
The Office of Management and Budget issued revisions to 2 CFR parts 25, 170, 183, and 200 (the Uniform Guidance) on August 13, 2020 and February 22, 2021 (technical correction). These revisions became effective November 12, 2020, except for the amendments to §§ 200.216 and 200.340, which were immediately effective on August 13, 2020. The grant award recipient must operate in compliance with these revised regulations. Please note that the section numbering in the Uniform Guidance has changed in some instances, and this Terms & Conditions document has been updated accordingly.
c. Closeout/Final Year Requirements
At the end of the grant period, the award recipient will be required to close the grant with the ETA. The grant recipient will be notified approximately 15 days prior to the end of the period of performance that the closeout process will begin when the period of performance ends. See https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/grants/management/closeout for further information on the closeout process. The recipient’s responsibilities at closeout may be found at 2 CFR 200.344. During the closeout process, the grant recipient must be able to provide documentation for all direct and indirect costs that are incurred.

For instance, if an organization is claiming indirect costs, the required documentation is a NICRA or CAP issued by the grant recipient’s FCA. For those approved to utilize a de minimis rate for indirect costs, the grant agreement is sufficient documentation. Not having documentation for direct or indirect costs will result in costs being disallowed and subject to debt collection.

The only liquidation that can occur during closeout is the liquidation of accrued expenditures (NOT obligations) for goods and/or services received during the grant period (2 CFR 2900.15).

d. Equipment
The grant award recipient(s) must receive prior approval from the Grant Officer to purchase any equipment as defined in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.1. Prior approval is required only when the acquisition cost is $5,000 or more regardless of the non-Federal entity’s capitalization threshold. Equipment purchases must be made in accordance with 2 CFR 200.313 or 2 CFR 200.439.

Being awarded this grant does not automatically mean that the equipment specified in the approved budget or SOW is approved by the Grant Officer. If not specified above, the recipient must submit a detailed list describing the purchase to the FPO for review within 90 days of the NOA date. The recipients are strongly encouraged to submit requests for equipment purchase as early as possible in the grant’s period of performance with as many planned pieces of equipment as possible.

Recipients may not purchase equipment during the last year of the period of performance or the last year of full program service delivery (not follow up activities), whichever comes first. If any approved acquisition has not occurred prior to the last funded year of performance, approval for that item is rescinded.
e. Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)

1. Reporting of first-tier subawards.

I. Applicability. Unless the grant award recipient is exempt as provided in paragraph [4.] of this award term, the grant recipient must report each action that equals or exceeds $30,000 in Federal funds for a subaward to an nonFederal entity or Federal agency (see definitions in paragraph [5.] of this award term).

A specific condition is based on an analysis of the following factors:
(1) Based on the criteria in §200.206, Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants;
(2) The applicant or recipient's history of compliance with the general or specific terms and conditions of a Federal award;
(3) The applicant or recipient's ability to meet expected performance goals as described in §200.211; or
(4) A responsibility determination of an applicant or recipient.

Additional Federal award conditions may include items such as the following:
(1) Requiring payments as reimbursements rather than advance payments; (2) Withholding authority to proceed to the next phase until receipt of evidence of acceptable performance within a given performance period; (3) Requiring additional, more detailed financial reports; (4) Requiring additional project monitoring;

g. Personally Identifiable Information
The grant award recipient(s) must recognize and safeguard Personally Identifiable Information (PII) except where disclosure is allowed by prior written approval of the Grant Officer or by court order. Award recipients must meet the requirements in TEGL

No. 39-11, Guidance on the Handling and Protection of PII, can be found at http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DOCN=7872. h. Pre-Award
All costs incurred by the award recipient prior to the start date specified in the grant award issued by the Department are incurred at the recipient’s own expense. i. Procurement
The Procurement Standards found in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.318-327 require all grant award recipients and subrecipients to conduct procurement transactions in a manner that promote practical, open, and free competition. The award recipient’s description in the SOW of a specific entity that will provide goods or services does not constitute approval or justification of sole-source procurement from this entity.

The Uniform Guidance (at 2 CFR 200.317) requires States (as defined at 2 CFR 200.1) to follow the same procurement policies and procedures it uses for non-Federal funds. The State must comply with 2 CFR 200.321, 200.322, and 200.323 and ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any clauses required by § 200.327. j. Program Income
The Addition method as described in 2 CFR 200.307 must be used in allocating any program income generated for this grant award. The grant award recipient must expend all program income prior to drawing down any additional funds as required at 2 CFR 200.305(b)(5) and 2 CFR 200.307(e). Any program income found remaining at the end of period of performance must be returned to ETA. In addition, the grant award recipient(s) must report program income on the quarterly financial report using the ETA-9130 report.

For the YouthBuild program, please refer to 20 CFR 688.590 for guidance on program income.
k. Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters

1. If the total value of the currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of this Federal award, then the grant award recipient during that period of time must maintain the currency of information reported to the System for Award Management (SAM) that is made available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings described in Paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under Section 872 of Public Law 110- 417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by Section 3010 of Public Law 111- 212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available.

2. Proceedings about which the grant recipient must report. Submit the information required about each proceeding that:
a. Is in connection with the award or performance of a grant, cooperative agreement, or procurement contract from the Federal Government;
b. Reached its final disposition during the most recent 5-year period; and c. Is one of the following:

I. A criminal proceeding that resulted in a conviction, as defined in Paragraph 5. of this award term;
II. A civil proceeding that resulted in a finding of fault and liability and paying a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more;
III. An administrative proceeding, as defined in Paragraph 5. of this award term, that resulted in a finding of fault and liability and grant recipient payment of either monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or more or a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000; or
IV. Any other criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding if:
(A)It could have led to an outcome described in Paragraph 2.c.I, II, or III of this award term;
(B)It had a different disposition arrived at by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault on the grant recipient’s part; and (C)The requirement in this award term to disclose information about the proceeding does not conflict with applicable laws and regulations.

3. Reporting procedures.Enter in SAM, Entity Management area (formerly CCR), or any successor system, the FAPIIS information that SAM requires about each proceeding described in Paragraph 2. of this award term. The grant award recipient does not need to submit the information a second time under assistance awards that were received if the recipient already provided the information through SAM (formerly CCR) because the recipient was required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that the recipient was awarded.

4. Reporting frequency. During any period of time when the grant award recipient is a subject to the requirement in paragraph 1. of this award term, the grant recipient must report FAPIIS information through SAM no less frequently than semiannually following the initial report of any proceedings for the most recent 5-year period, either to report new information about any proceeding(s) that the grant recipient has not reported previously or affirm that there is no new information to report.

5. Definitions. For purposes of this award term:
a. Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., SEC Administrative proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals proceedings). This includes proceedings at the Federal and State level. It does not include audits, site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.

b. Conviction, for purposes of this award term, means a judgment or conviction of a criminal offense by any court of competent jurisdiction, whether entered upon a verdict or a plea, and includes a conviction entered upon a plea of nolo contendere. c. Total value of currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts includes —
I. Only the Federal share of the funding under any award with a recipient cost share or match; and
II. The value of all options, even if not yet exercised. l. Reports
All ETA grant award recipients are required to submit quarterly financial and narrative progress reports for each grant award.
a. Quarterly Financial Reports. All ETA grant award recipients are required to report financial data on the ETA-9130 Finanical Report. ETA-9130 reports are due no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each specified reporting quarter.

Reporting quarter end dates are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December

31. A final financial report must be submitted no later than 45 calendar days after the quarter encompassing the grant award end date ends, or 45 calendar days after the completion of the quarter in which all funds have been expended, whichever comes first. For grants awarded before November 12, 2020, a closeout ETA-9130 report must be submitted no later than 90 calendar days after the grant period of performance ends. For grants awarded after November 12, 2020, a closeout ETA9130 report must be submitted no later than 120 calendar days after the grant period of performance ends. See 2 CFR 200.344. A closeout report will be submitted during the closeout process. For additional guidance on ETA’s financial reporting, reference TEGL 20-19 and https://www.doleta.gov/grants/pdf/ETA9130_Financial_Reporting_Resources.pdf The instructions for accessing both the online financial reporting system and the HHS PMS can be found in the transmittal memo accompanying this NOA. b. Quarterly Narrative Progress Reports. Grant recipients are required to submit a narrative quarterly and final report on grant activities funded under this award. All reports are due no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each specified reporting quarter. Reporting quarter end dates are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.

1. The last quarterly progress report that award recipients submit will serve as the grant’s Final Performance Report. This report should provide both quarterly and cumulative information on the grant’s activities. It must summarize project activities, employment outcomes and other deliverables, and related results of the project.

2. The grant award recipient shall use any standard forms and instructions to report on training and employment outcomes and other data relating to the

progress reports as provided by ETA.

3. The grant award recipient shall utilize standard reporting processes and electronic reporting systems to submit their quarterly progress reports as provided by ETA.
m. Requirements for Conference and Conference Space
Conferences sponsored in whole or in part by the grant award recipient are allowable if the conference is necessary and reasonable for the successful performance of the Federal Award. The grant award recipients are urged to use discretion and good judgment to ensure that all conference costs charged to the grant are appropriate and allowable. For more information on the requirements and the allowability of costs associated with conferences, refer to 2 CFR 200.432.Recipients will be held accountable to the requirements in 2 CFR 200.432. Therefore, costs that do not comply with 2 CFR 200.432 will be questioned and may be disallowed.

n. Subawards
A subaward means an award provided by a Pass-Through Entity (PTE) to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the PTE. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the PTE considers a contract.

The provisions of the Terms and Conditions of this award will be applied to any subrecipient under this award. The recipient is responsible for monitoring the subrecipient, ensuring that the Terms and Conditions are in all subaward packages and that the subrecipient complies with all applicable regulations and the Terms and Conditions of this award (2 CFR 200.101(b)).
o. Supportive Services & Participant Support Costs
When supportive services are expressly authorized by a program statute, regulation, or FOA, this award waives the prior approval requirement for participant support costs as described in 2 CFR 200.456. Costs must still meet the basic considerations at 2 CFR 200.402 – 200.411. Questions regarding supportive services and participant support costs should be directed to the FPO who is assigned to the grant. p. System for Award Management (SAM)
SAM is the official federal system that collects, validates, stores, and disseminates business information about the federal government's trading partners in support of contract awards, grants, and electronic payment processes. A SAM registration is required for an entity to be able to apply for federal grants, to request modifications to existing grants, and to enable them to closeout expiring grants. See Training and Employment Notice (TEGL) 18-17 for additional guidance.

Unless the grant award recipient is exempt from this requirement under 2 CFR 25.110, the grant recipient must maintain current its information in the SAM. This includes information on the recipient’s immediate and highest level owner and subsidiaries, as well as on all of the recipient’s predecessors that have been awarded a Federal contract or Federal financial assistance within the last three years, if applicable, until the grant recipientsubmits the final financial report required under this Federal award or receive the final payment, whichever is later. This requires that the grant recipient review and update the information at least annually after the initial registration, and more frequently if required by changes in its information or another Federal award term.

1. Unique Entity Identifier Requirements
If the grant award recipient is authorized to make subawards under this award, then the grant recipient:
i. Must notify potential subrecipients that no entity (see definitions below) may receive a subaward from the grant award recipient until the entity has provided its unique entity identifier to the grant recipient.
ii. May not make a subaward to an entity unless the entity has provided its Unique Entity Identifier to the grant recipient. Subrecipients are not required to obtain an active SAM registration, but must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier.

NOTE: On April 4, 2022, the DUNS Number will be replaced by a new, non-proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. This new identifier is being called the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID. Users should continue using the DUNS Number in UEI fields until that date. To learn more about SAM’s rollout of the UEI, please visit gsa.gov/entityid.

2. Definitions
For purposes of this term:
i. SAM is the Federal repository where the grant award recipients must provide information required for the conduct of business as recipients. Additional information about registration procedures may be found at the SAM website (http://www.sam.gov).
ii. Unique entity identifier means the identifier assigned by SAM to uniquely identify business entities.
iii. Entity, as it is used in this grant award term, includes all of the following, as defined at 2 CFR Part 25, Appendix A:
a. A non-Federal entity as defined at 2 CFR 200.1 (A State, local government, Indian Tribe, Institute of Higher Education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or subrecipient);
b. A foreign organization;
c. A foreign public entity;
d. A domestic for-profit organization; and
e. A Federal agency.
iv. Subaward means:

An award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the passPage 1041 of 2219 through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.
v. Subrecipient means:

An entity, usually but not limited to non-Federal entities, that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a Federal award; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such award. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency.

3. Existing SAM Registrants
ETA advises grant recipients registered in SAM to review their registration information, particularly their financial information and points of contact. Assistance is available by contacting the Federal Service Desk at www.fsd.gov. Grant recipients should contact ETA at [email protected] if they find that payments have been paid to a bank account other than their registered bank account.

ETA further encourages grant recipients to review the expiration date of their SAM registration and begin the renewal process well in advance, to ensure that their registration remains valid. If the grant recipient has not logged in and updated its entity registration record within at least the past 365 days, its record will expire and go into inactive status. Timely renewal will ensure that the grant recipient can continue to request and receive modifications to their existing grants, as well as apply for new funding opportunities. Further, the DUNS/UEI and EIN numbers must remain active until the grant award closeout process is fully completed.

4. Validation
ETA routinely checks the validity of a grant recipient’s SAM registration and verifies that the recipient isn’t included on the excluded parties list before making a grant award, or approving a modification to an existing award. Failure to have an active SAM registration can delay grant recipients from receiving their initial award or requested modifications to their existing awards.
q. Vendor/Contractor
The term “contractor,” sometimes referred to as a vendor, is a dealer, distributor, merchant or other seller providing goods or services that are required to implement a Federal program (see 2 CFR 200.1). These goods or services may be for an organization's own use or for the use of the beneficiaries of the Federal program. Additional guidance on distinguishing between a subrecipient and a contractor (vendor) is provided in 2 CFR 200.331. When procuring contractors for goods and services, DOL/ETA recipients and subrecipients, must follow the procurement requirements found at 2 CFR 200.319, except states, pursuant to 2 CFR 200.317,which calls for free and open competition.

r. Whistleblower Protection
This grant award and employees working on this grant award are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies established at 41 U.S.C. 4712. The grant award recipient shall inform its employees in writing, in the predominant language of the workforce, of employee whistleblower rights and protections under 41 U.S.C. 4712, as described in section 3.908 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR 3.908; note that for the purpose of this term and condition, use of the term "contract," "contractor," "subcontract," or "subcontractor" in section 3.908 should be read as "grant," "grantee," "subgrant," or "subgrantee"). The recipient shall insert the substance of this clause in all subgrants and contracts over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. s. Telecommunications

t. Intellectual Property Rights
The Federal Government reserves a paid-up, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use for federal purposes: i) the copyright in all products developed under the grant, including a subgrant or contract under the grant or subgrant; and ii) any rights of copyright to which the grant award recipient, subrecipient or a contractor purchases ownership under an award (including but not limited to curricula, training models, technical assistance products, and any related materials). Such uses include, but are not limited to, the right to modify and distribute such products worldwide by any means, electronically or otherwise.

Federal funds may not be used to pay any royalty or license fee for use of a copyrighted work, or the cost of acquiring by purchase a copyright in a work, where the DOL/ETA has a license or rights of free use in such work, although they may be used to pay costs for obtaining a copy which is limited to the developer/seller costs of copying and shipping.

The following language must be on all workforce products developed in whole or in part with grant funds:
“This workforce product was funded by a grant awarded by the U.S.

Department of Labor (DOL)’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The product was created by the recipient and does not necessarily reflect the official position of DOL/ETA. DOL/ETA makes no guarantees, warranties, or assurances of any kind, express or implied, with respect to such information, including any information on linked sites and including, but not limited to, accuracy of the information or its completeness, timeliness, usefulness, adequacy, continued availability, or ownership.

This product is copyrighted by the institution that created it.” u. Open Licensing, Intellectual Property Rights, and the Bayh-Dole Act As required at 2 CFR 2900.13, any intellectual property developed under a discretionary Federal award process must be licensed under an open license, which allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted work and attribute the work in the manner specified by the recipient.

All small business firms, and non-profit organizations (as defined at the link below, and including Institutions of Higher Education) must adhere to the Bayh-Dole Act, which requirements are provided at 37 CFR 401.3(a) and at

The Jobs for Veterans Act (Public Law 107-288) requires grant award recipients to provide priority service to veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the receipt of employment, training, and placement services in any job training program directly funded, in whole or in part, by the DOL. The regulations implementing this priority of service can be found at 20 CFR Part 1010. In circumstances where a grant award recipient must choose between two qualified candidates for a service, one of whom is a veteran or eligible spouse, the veterans priority of service provisions require that the grant award recipient give the veteran or eligible spouse priority of service by first providing him or her that service. To obtain priority of service, a veteran or spouse must meet the program’s eligibility requirements. Recipients must comply with the DOL guidance on veterans’ priority. ETA’s TEGL No. 10-09 (issued November 10, 2009) provides guidance on implementing priority of service for veterans and eligible spouses in all qualified job training programs funded in whole or in part by DOL. TEGL No. 10-09 is available at http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DOCN=2816. h. Promoting Equitable Delivery of Government Benefits and Equal Opportunity The Department of Labor (Labor) seeks to affirmatively advance equity, civil rights and equal opportunity in the policies, programs and services it provides. Therefore, consistent with Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, grant recipients must execute the terms and conditions of their grant in a manner that advances equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. This extends to all grant activities including, but not limited to, service delivery, selection of subrecipients and contractors, and procurement of goods and services. Government

programs are designed to serve all eligible individuals, and Labor’s grantees should make services the goods and services they provide pursuant to their grants widely available with the goals of effectively serving a diverse population of eligible individuals; fairly, justly, and impartially administering the grant evaluation and award processes. Grantees are encouraged to engage in contracting and subcontracting for goods and services related to performing the terms and conditions of their grants in such a way to achieve equity.

The term “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.

The term “underserved communities” refers to populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of “equity.” i. Harassment Prohibited
The grant recipient and any subrecipients are prohibited from engaging in harassment of an individual based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or, for beneficiaries, applicants, and participants only, based on citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title I-financially assisted program or activity. Harassing conduct of this type is a violation of the nondiscrimination provisions of WIOA and of 29 CFR Part 38.
a) Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or offensive remarks about a person's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or belief, or citizenship or participation, and other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on one or more of these protected categories constitutes unlawful harassment on that basi(e)s when:
(1) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of accessing the aid, benefit, service, or training of, or employment in the administration of or in connection with, any WIOA Title I-financially assisted program or activity;
(2) Submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for limiting that individual's access to any aid, benefit, service, training, or employment from, or employment in the administration of or in connection with, any WIOA Title I-financially assisted program or activity; or (3) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's participation in a WIOA Title I-financially assisted program or activity creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive program environment.

b) Harassment because of sex includes harassment based on gender identity or sexual orientation; harassment based on failure to comport with sex stereotypes; and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. Sexbased harassment may include harassment that is not sexual in nature but that is because of sex or where one sex is targeted for the harassment.

16. Technical Assistance, Resources, and Information
Additional resources, training, and information to assist the grant award recipient are located on the ETA website at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/grants/resources and on the Grants Application and Management collection page on WorkforceGPS.org at https://grantsapplicationandmanagement.workforcegps.org/.

sufficient enrollment numbers to build or renovate at least one unit of affordable or transitional housing for low-income or homeless individuals or families during the performance period.

Construction Training Plan
The Construction Training Plan for the proposed program is included as an attachment.

Need for Affordable Housing
The city of Richmond is home to a growing population of 116,448 residents.3 The city has experienced substantial increases in rental costs as housing prices across the Bay Area have escalated. In data from 2019, 56% of renters in Richmond were identified as burdened, and 27% severely burdened by housing costs, in comparison to 46% and 22% for all renters in the nine county Bay Area.
4 In Contra Costa County, where the City of Richmond is located, both the housing choice voucher waitlist and the public housing waitlist are closed; the public housing waitlist was last open for four days between February and March 2017.5 Affordable housing availability has not kept pace with population growth, resulting in 27,709 low income renter households in Contra Costa County who lack access to an affordable home. 6 According to a the
same report, 76% of extremely low income households are spending more than half of their income on housing costs.
7 Renters in the County would need to earn 2.5 times the minimum wage to afford the average rent of $1,952 per month.8

(3) Employer Engagement Strategy
Using Labor Market Information to Inform Education and Training The RWDB has regular access to regional labor market information (LMI) through California Employment Development Department staff, an MOU partner at the Richmond One Stop-AJCC, showing that employment growth in the regional construction sector is extremely robust.10 Project staff and partners will regularly review LMI and local employer data to inform the content and approach to the program curriculum. Employer outreach will be facilitated through the network of dozens of construction industry employers and multiple union partners that have worked with RichmondBuild over the past decade. Both employers and union representatives will be invited to provide presentations to participants regarding career opportunities in different areas of the construction industry.

Approach for Targeting Employers and the Outreach Strategy Through its relationship to RichmondBuild, the nationally recognized construction training program, Richmond YouthBuild will have access to a large network of employer partners with an interest in hiring program graduates. The RWDB also connects with construction employers through WDB board membership, and leverages its relationship with Business Services representatives at the Richmond One Stop to conduct ongoing outreach to construction employers. Members of the Employer Advisory Board are also encouraged to reach out to additional employers to participate in the hiring of YouthBuild graduates. 10 Data from “2018-2028 Occupational Employment Projections-Oakland-Fremont-Hayward Metropolitan Division (Alameda and Contra Counties),” California Employment Development Department-Labor Market Information Division, accessed on 01/10/2022.

Richmond YouthBuild Project Narrative

Working with Local Workforce Development Board to Leverage Employer Partnerships RWDB Board Members are fully committed to providing support to the YouthBuild initiative. The RichmondBuild program has provided the opportunity to nurture relationships with a large number of employer partners in the construction industry, and a number of these employers are represented on the RWDB Board. They will play an important role in providing both program input and employment opportunities for Richmond YouthBuild graduates. The Richmond YouthBuild Job Developer will work closely with the business liaisons/job developer staff at the Richmond AJCC-One Stop to connect with employers in the construction and warehousing industries and assist participants in accessing these job opportunities.

Accessing Industry Employers Through AJCC Business Services Representatives As the Operator for the Richmond One Stop/AJCC, the RWDB will engage the AJCC’s Business Services Representatives in outreach to employers to provide employment opportunities for Richmond YouthBuild graduates.

Ongoing Communication with, and Feedback from, Employers The Richmond YouthBuild Employer Advisory Board, described on page 9 above, will meet on a quarterly basis to receive updates from the Program Manager and other staff on program outcomes, and to contribute feedback on the program curriculum and other issues.

These meetings will offer a forum for employers to provide recommendations to the RWDB regarding how the YouthBuild program can best address employer needs. h) Budget, Budget Narrative, Match Narrative

Description of the Area to Be Served:

The Richmond YouthBuild program will serve residents between the ages of 16 and 24 from the city of Richmond, California, Zip codes 94801, 94804 and 94806. Youth living in these communities face some of the most difficult circumstances of any community in the country. Census data show the unemployment rate for Richmond youth to be nearly 60% above the national average, reflecting both a lack of opportunity and a lack of work-related role models for young people.1 Poverty rates for the target community are a third higher than the national rate.
2 In the neighborhoods addressed in this grant, school failure represents the most dramatic crisis—nearly half of the young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 lack a high school diploma, a rate double the national average. For many years, Richmond had one of the highest per capita homicide rates in the nation for a city its size, and in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available, the rate of violent crime per 100,000 residents was 932.3 per 100,000 residents, more than two- and one-half times the national average of 366.7. 3 1 U.S. Census 2019 American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates, http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml, accessed on 1/12/2022. 2 Ibid. 3 Federal Bureau of Investigation, “Crime in the United States”, 2019, https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-theu.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-1, accessed on 1/06/22.

DOLETA FY 2022 YouthBuild Grant Program
City of Richmond Employment and Training Department-Two-Page Abstract

Scope of the Project and Proposed Outcomes:

Richmond YouthBuild offers an antidote to the causes of youth violence by providing young people with the education, job training, and life skills they need to escape the poverty and hopelessness that plague their communities. Through Richmond YouthBuild, participants gain their GED or high school diploma, develop real world job skills in the construction trades as, develop leadership capacities, and receive support in finding and keeping well-paid employment. Proposed outcomes include: (1) Placement in Employment or Education: 75% (48/64); (2) Credential Attainment: 80% (51/64); (3) Measurable Skill Gains: 75% (48/64); (4) Retention in Education/Employment: 75% (36/48).

In combination with local support, grant funds will be used to provide education, job training, and follow-up support for 64 participants, with a 25% match provided by the John Muir Charter School, and additional leveraged resources provided through the Richmond Housing Authority, and the Richmond Workforce Development Board. Close partnerships with employer, labor, education, governmental and community-based partners will enable Richmond YouthBuild to offer additional resources to participants. Access to RichmondBUILD’s 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art construction training facilities for a portion of the training (including dedicated classrooms and a computer lab with GED preparation and career exploration tutorials), along with full compliance with CDC COVID safety guidelines, will provide YouthBuild participants with the educational and vocational training they need to successfully compete for well-paid employment. Strong business and labor partnerships increase the likelihood that participants will enter apprenticeship or employment upon completion.

Richmond YouthBuild Construction Training Plan
Project Summary
The Richmond YouthBuild program will train 64 participants from the city of Richmond, California in construction skills, enable them to gain educational credentials, and provide a broad array of case managed supportive services to help overcome barriers to successful employment.

Participants will be trained in three cohorts of 20-22 individuals each at a training facility and hands- on construction site both located in Richmond. Strong ties with local trade unions, as documented in the attached letters of support, will offer the opportunity for entry into apprenticeship in a range of crafts, enabling participants to move to higher skilled, higher paid work after completion. A partnership with Contra Costa College, whose curriculum includes the possibility for obtaining training certifications in fields such as automotive services, information and communication technology, culinary arts and emergency medial services, will provide additional pathways for those with the interest and aptitude to continue their education. The Forklift Academy will also provide the training for Richmond YouthBuild’s Construction Plus option, in forklift operations and logistics, described in the attached Construction Plus Field Proposal document.

Construction Training Scope Including Goals and Objectives Richmond YouthBuild will use the industry-recognized Multi-Craft Core curriculum (MC3) as the training foundation to provide participants with a Pre-Apprenticeship program in standardized basic construction skills training, overseen by a master craftsman coach. Training includes: concrete forms, steel stud framing, tool safety, blueprint reading, basic electrical, basic building materials, basic plumbing, green building techniques and more. Richmond YouthBuild training aligns employer needs with participant career interests to deliver industry-recognized

DOLETA FY 2022 YouthBuild Grant Program
Richmond YouthBuild-Construction Training Plan

certifications to every participant who completes training, and will include: MC3, OSHA 30, and HAZWOPER 40. At least 40 percent of participant time in the program will be devoted to occupational skills development training.

The primary goal of the Richmond YouthBuild training program is to help individuals from local communities who have significant barriers to employment gain the skills and knowledge they need to obtain well-paid employment and become contributing members of society. Objectives leading to this goal include the following: (1) A minimum of 75% of program graduates will be placed in education or employment upon completion; (2) At least 75% of those who are placed in employment will be retained for a minimum of six months; (3) At least 75% of participants who entered the program will attain a degree or certificate; and (4) A minimum of 75% of participants who entered the program without a high school diploma or GED will show gains in literacy and numeracy.

Training Strategy
Project-based learning is at the heart of the instructional strategy for Richmond YouthBuild. Participants will be given the opportunity to apply their skills to real world situations both at the training facility and at the housing work site, including work in groups, or on specific construction tasks that strengthen individual skills. Construction industry skills training will be delivered by an experienced trainer and assistant at the project work site as well as in a construction lab environment. The training period for three cohorts will last for a total of 36 weeks (three training periods of 12 weeks each), and will be delivered in modules taught by Jonathan Brito, an MC3 and Home Builders Institute-certified construction trainer who is responsible for the quality of the program being presented, participant discipline, classroom maintenance, and the safety and security of all individuals and supplies. The training schedule

DOLETA FY 2022 YouthBuild Grant Program
Richmond YouthBuild-Construction Training Plan

will include alternating weeks of 5 mornings of construction lab training followed by a week of 5 mornings of academic instruction. Monday through Thursday afternoon of every week will be spent in hands on learning at the construction work site, with Friday afternoons reserved for community service and leadership activities.

Roles and Responsibilities of Staff
Project Manager Fred Lucero will play a key role in ensuring that construction trainers and educational instructors are trained in the YouthBuild model and deliver a high quality program.

He will also be responsible for communication with project partners and completion of required reports to DOL. The Project Manager will coordinate the work during the start up period in the initial four months; supervise the program staff; facilitate alignment between the academic and vocation training components; and track program outcomes to ensure that they are being met.

Jonathan Brito will serve as the Lead Vocational Instructor and Angel Gomez, a Richmond YouthBuild graduate, will be the Assistant Vocational Instructor. Key roles for the vocational training staff include: establishing participant ground rules and expectations; determining the sequence of instruction for various trade skills; regularly connecting with the YouthBuild academic instructors (provided by John Muir Academy) to ensure that participant work in these two areas is complementary; communicating with the contractor at the work site so that scheduling and expectations are clear; weekly consultation with the program Case Manager, regarding participant progress; and regular safety instruction review. The Case Manager, Danielle Mason, will carry out initial participant assessments; collaborate with the academic and vocational instructors on the development and implementation of participants’ Individualized Education and Employment Plans (IEEPs), link participants with needed supports, including through the Richmond One-Stop/America’s Job Center; and provide support for job search and

DOLETA FY 2022 YouthBuild Grant Program
Richmond YouthBuild-Construction Training Plan

retention for 12 months after program completion. Ms. Mason is currently a Case Manager for both RichmondBuild and Richmond YouthBuild. The Job Developer, Natasha Terry, will be responsible for establishing a network of employment opportunities for participants that includes internships and unsubsidized employment, identifying and building relationships with potential employers, and assisting youth in obtaining placements in employment. Ms. Terry is a RichmondBuild graduate.

Contingency Plan
The extensive partner networks of the Richmond Workforce Development Board will help to ensure continuation of the program regardless of any contingencies that need to be addressed in the course of its operation. Key staff have already been identified, and through its union partners the program has access to others with the necessary skills if needed. Richmond YouthBuild has relationships with multiple community-based non-profit housing developers with available property inventory available that could replace the proposed hands-on worksite in the event of unforeseen difficulties.

Training Materials, Design, and Standards
As indicated above, the project will use the most current training materials for the nationally recognized Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3), OSHA 30 and HAZWOPER 40.

Restrictive Covenant Clause
The property to be rehabilitated using DOL YouthBuild grant participants will be covered by a restrictive covenant clause that ensures that for a period of at least five years the property will only be rented to low-income individuals or families.
