BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE JOB CORPS PROGRAM Hartford Job Corps Academy, operated by Education Management Corporation, is located in Hartford Connecticut, is a federally funded educational and job training facility. There are a total of 200 students between the ages of 16 and 24, inclusive of 136 residential and 64 non-resident students, most of whom come from the local community, the northern and southern portion of Connecticut and bordering states. Enrollees in the program are screened by the Academy and Federal recruitment agencies. Common criterion for eligibility is the need and desire to learn a skill to become more employable. Enrollees are generally considered healthy, but physical and emotional problems can be present and therefore must be considered and addressed. Some of the 200 authorized students may at any time be enrolled under the auspices of special disability programs, which accommodate students with a variety of physical impairments without age restrictions. The program meets the needs of each individual and focuses on four (4) specific areas that enable the student to become successfully employed. Although many other needs are also being met, the program focuses on building vocational skills, developing academic skills and increasing awareness of career success standard and core values. Besides educational and vocational opportunities, students receive free housing, meals, medical and dental care, as well as living and clothing allowances. There are daily recreational activities and outings scheduled weekly for all students who wish to participate. Counseling services are available to assist students with their individual needs. Also when training is completed, Career Transition services are provided to assist with job placement and pursing independent living BIDDER’S INSTRUCTIONS Bidder’s attention is drawn to the Request for Proposal and proposed Agreement attached. It is anticipated that the proposed Agreement shall become the final document provided to the successful bidder, with minor revisions incorporating appropriate aspects of the bidder’s proposal. Bidders should therefore review the format and clauses in order to prepare a response to provide Mental Health Consultant services. In addition, Job Corps’ Policy and Requirements Handbook (PRH), Appendices, and Technical Supplements may be reviewed upon request. The successful bidder will be selected based upon a combination of professional experience, quality of technical services, with the Academy and its students and reasonableness of hourly rate. Bidders are placed on notice that this is a completive process and cost is an important factor. The Hartford Job Corps Academy reserves the right to reject any or all proposals or waive formalities in the bidding process. The scope of work indicates minimum staffing/service requirements which must be provided. Bidders are encouraged to offer supplemental staffing/services either on or off Academy.

It is not anticipated at this time that there will be a “best and final” opportunity to refine proposals.
