Summary Explanation and Background:
In Brevard County, which is LWDB 13 in the state workforce system, the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners serves as the Chief Elected Official. Pursuant to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Chief Elected Official of the local area designates the One-Stop Operator and Workforce Service Provider after the Workforce Board competitively procures and selects an experienced and capable vendor to perform such duties. CareerSource Brevard (CSB) must follow WIOA Section 121(d) (2) (A) by using a competitive process for the selection of a one-stop operator and workforce services for the system and the re-competition of operators every four years. CSB must also procure following the procurement standards in the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). All procurements conducted are audited by the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and an outside monitoring firm as part of CSB’s annual audit.
The One-Stop Operator operates the career centers in Brevard County. The operator is charged with coordinating the service delivery among partner agencies in One-Stop Centers. Duties include managing daily operations & partner responsibilities defined in the partner Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), providing services for job-seeking individuals and businesses, implementing local policies, ensuring basic services are available, adhering to all Federal & State regulations and reporting on local operations, performance and continuous improvement recommendations.
CareerSource Brevard initiated a competitive selection beginning in March 2021. A selection committee consisting of Board of Director and committee members was tasked with evaluating responses and made the recommendation to the Board of Directors in May 2021. The Board of Directors selected C2 GPS, as the One-Stop Operator and Workforce Service Provider and entered into a contract effective July 1, 2021. This agreement outlines the required firewalls between the service provision and oversight of the system and specifies that the Board of County Commissioners affirms C2 GPS as the One-Stop Operator and provider of workforce services.
