BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE JOB CORPS PROGRAM New Haven Job Corps Center, operated by Career Systems Development Corporation, is located in New Haven Connecticut. There are a total of 200 students, including 50 non-resident trainees, all from the local community, who come to the Center each day for training. Residential trainees are recruited primarily from surrounding communities and the northern and southern portion of Connecticut. The program meets the needs of each individual in four (4) specific areas that enable the trainee 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 social skills and core values. Besides educational and vocational opportunities, trainees 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 trainees who wish to participate. Counseling services are available to assist trainees with their individual needs. When training is completed and/or trainees are ready to leave, Career Transition services are provided. In addition, trainees who leave and are pursuing independent living are provided assistance with their transition. BIDDER?S INSTRUCTIONS Bidder?s attention is drawn to the Request for Proposal and tentative subcontract attached. It is anticipated that the draft subcontract shall become the final contractual 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 in the office of Mr. William Johnson, Purchasing Agent. The successful bidder will be selected based upon a combination of professional expertise, quality of technical services and reasonableness of cost. Bidders are placed on notice that bids in excess of available funding for Mental Health Consultant services may not be found within the competitive range. The New Haven Job Corps Center reserves the right to reject any and all bids if no individual bid is found to be acceptable. The bidding guidelines indicate minimum staffing/service requirements which must be provided. Bidders are encouraged to offer supplemental staffing/services either on or off Center. Bidders should specifically state what types and quantity of supplemental staffing and/or services are being offered. The New Haven Job Corps Center reserves the right to award a subcontract as a complete contract package including services and material, or as a services only contract. Proposals must not just repeat the requirements contained in the RFP/Draft Contract, but must provide the specifics of ?who, what, how and when? clearly indicating the bidder?s level of understanding and ability to provide the level of service required. It is not anticipated at this time that there will be a ?best and final? opportunity to refine proposals.

Enrollees in the program are screened by the Center and Federal recruitment agencies. A common criterion for eligibility is the need and the desire to learn a skill to become more employable. Enrollees are generally considered healthy, but physical and emotional problems can be present which must be considered and addressed. Some of the 200 authorized trainees may at any given time be enrolled under the auspices of special disability programs, which accommodate trainees with a variety of physical impairments without age restrictions. The base period of this subcontract to provide Mental Health Consultant services shall begin on December 1, 2005 and expire on November 30, 2008 concurrent with expiration of Career Systems Development Corporation?s current prime contract with the Department of Labor.

CONTRACTOR shall be required to provide minimum levels of malpractice insurance to cover all services provided to trainees. Minimum acceptable levels are $1,000,000 per incident and $3,000,000 aggregate, but higher limits are recommended.
