Job Training Partnership Act, Title III Program; Career 
Management Accounts

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds and solicitation for grant 
application (SGA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA), announces a demonstration program to provide 
dislocated workers with re-employment and retraining services through 
individual career management accounts. The demonstration program will 
be funded with Secretary's National Reserve funds appropriated through 
Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). This notice 
describes the process that eligible entities must use to apply for 
demonstration funds, the subject area for which applications will be 
accepted for funding, how grantees are to be selected, and the 
responsibilities of grantees. It is anticipated that up to $3 million 
will be available for funding the demonstration projects covered by 
this solicitation. Everything needed to apply is contained in this 
announcement.

DATES: Applications for grant awards will be accepted commencing 
November 28, 1994. The closing date for receipt of applications will be 
January 20, 1995, at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) at the address below.

ADDRESSES: Applications shall be mailed to: U.S. Department of Labor, 
Employment and Training Administration, Division of Acquisition and 
Assistance, Attention: Mr. Willie E. Harris, Reference: SGA/DAA 94-22, 
200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S-4203, Washington, DC 20210.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Willie E. Harris, Division of 
Acquisition and Assistance, Telephone: (202) 219-8706 (this is not a 
toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This announcement consists of four parts. 
Part I describes the authorities and purpose of the demonstration 
program and identifies demonstration policy and topics. Part II 
describes the application process and provides detailed guidelines for 
use in applying for demonstration grants. There is no separate 
application package. Part III includes the statement of work for the 
demonstration projects. Part IV identifies and defines the selection 
criteria which will be used in reviewing and evaluating applications. 
Part V describes the reporting requirements.

Part I. Background

A. Authorities

    Section 324 of the Job Training Partnership Act authorizes the use 
of funds reserved under Part B of Title III for demonstration programs 
of up to three years in length. Under section 324, the Secretary is 
required to conduct or provide for an evaluation of the success of each 
demonstration program.

B. Purpose of the Demonstration

    Projects funded through this solicitation are to provide 
reemployment and retraining services--as described in sections 314(c), 
314(d) and 314(e) of JTPA--to dislocated workers through the use of 
individual career management accounts. The goals of career management 
accounts are to:

--Increase customer choice;
--Allow maximum flexibility in customizing services, and service 
delivery, to the needs of the individual dislocated worker;
--Expand the resources and sources of assistance which are available to 
the individual dislocated worker.

The purpose of this demonstration is to determine if career management 
accounts are an administratively feasible approach for achieving these 
goals.

C. Demonstration Policy

1. Awards
    DOL will select three to five applicants to conduct demonstrations 
of the use of career management accounts. It is anticipated that 
individual grant awards will be up to a maximum of $1,000,000 each.
2. Evaluation
    Each grantee must establish a process whereby eligible dislocated 
workers are referred, after an assessment of individual needs, to a 
treatment group which will be served through the use of career 
management accounts. As described in Sections III.F and III.G of this 
solicitation, project designs will be expected to address both 
quantitative and qualitative measures of participant outcomes, 
including customer satisfaction.
    Under a separate announcement, DOL will select and fund separate 
evaluation contractors to: (1) provide technical assistance to selected 
grantees in establishing appropriate data collection methods and 
processes; and (2) conduct an independent evaluation of the outcomes, 
impacts and benefits of the demonstration projects. Grantees will be 
expected to make available participant records and access to personnel, 
as specified by the evaluation contractor.
    In addition, DOL will establish, for each demonstration project 
site, an oversight group made up of federal, State and substate staff.
3. Eligible Participants
    Workers eligible for assistance under these demonstration grants 
are those individuals who are ``eligible dislocated workers'' in 
accordance with Section 301(a) or Section 314(h) of the Job Training 
Partnership Act (JTPA).
4. Allowable Activities
    Grant funds awarded under this demonstration may be used to provide 
the services described in JTPA Section 314(c), Section 314(d) and 
Section 314(e). These services are more fully described in the statute. 
In addition, funds may be used to cover the costs of developing and 
implementing processes or mechanisms by which an individual worker can 
manage his/her ``career account'' and access payments for the costs of 
reemployment and retraining services at qualified providers. Funds may 
also be used to cover administrative costs, including the costs 
associated with establishing coordination with the unemployment 
compensation system, as described at Section 314(f).
5. Cost Limitations
    Demonstration grants are not subject to the cost limitations for 
formula-funded Title III grants at Section 315 of the JTPA. However, 
any offeror proposing administrative costs that exceed 15 percent of 
the budget or needs-related payments and supportive services that 
exceed 25 percent of the funds requested in the application shall 
provide a narrative justification.

D. Demonstration Topic

    DOL is soliciting applications for demonstrations of the 
feasibility of establishing career management accounts for individual 
workers. Career management accounts are funding commitments, which can 
be accessed by eligible individuals, to pay for the cost of training 
and other career or employment transition services allowable under the 
grant. The career management account is intended to provide maximum 
flexibility to the individual worker in selecting the types, timing and 
sources of career and employment transition assistance. The account is 
tied to the individual worker. However, to optimize the use of 
resources available from other funding sources, the account should 
provide the means to accept credits or deposits from multiple sources.

Part II. Application Process

A. Eligible Applicants

    Eligible applicants for demonstration projects funded under this 
announcement are States and Title III substate grantees. States and 
substate grantees are defined at Section 301 of the Act. An application 
from a State agency shall be submitted by the Governor. An application 
from a substate grantee shall include written comments from the 
Governor. An application from a state should include comments, or a 
letter of support, from each substate area in which the Career 
Management Account System is to be implemented.
    To adequately test the career management account concept, 
applicants must be able to serve at least 200 individuals during the 
grant period of performance. It is expected that funds under this grant 
will provide no more than 50% of the funding support for the career 
management accounts. Other public and private funds, including JTPA 
Title III formula funds, should be used to provide the additional 
funding support.
    DOL expects that, in such cases where more than one eligible entity 
(e.g., State and SSG, two or more adjacent SSGs) wishes to apply for a 
grant to serve the same target population, applicants will establish 
appropriate linkages and submit a single application under a single 
proposed administrative entity.

B. Submission of Proposals

    An original and three (3) copies of the proposal shall be 
submitted. The proposal shall consist of two (2) separate and distinct 
parts--Part I, the Financial Proposal, and Part II, the Technical 
Proposal.
    1. Financial Proposal. The Financial Proposal, Part I, shall 
contain the SF-424, ``Application for Federal Assistance'' (Appendix 
No. 1), and SF 424-A, ``Budget'' (Appendix No. 2). The Federal Domestic 
Assistance Catalog number is 17.246. The budget shall include on 
separate pages: a cost analysis of the budget, identifying in detail 
the amount of each budget line item attributable to each of the Title 
III cost categories at Section 314 of JTPA for funds requested through 
this grant; and an identification of the amount of each budget line 
item which will be covered by other funds, and the sources of those 
funds (including employer funds, in-kind resources, secured and 
unsecured loans, grants, and other forms of assistance, public and 
private).
    Federal funds cannot be used to support training which an employer 
is in a position to, and would otherwise, provide. Federal funds may 
not be used for acquisition of production equipment. The only type of 
equipment that may be acquired with Federal funds is equipment 
necessary for the operation of the grant. Grant funds may cover only 
those costs which are appropriate and reasonable. In the instance of a 
purchase, the cost of the equipment is to be prorated over the 
projected life of the equipment to determine the cost to the grant. 
Awardee must receive prior approval from the Department of Labor/
Employment and Training Administration's Property Officer for the 
purchase and/or lease of any property and/or equipment with a per unit 
acquisition cost of $5,000 or more, and a useful life of more than one 
year as defined in OMB Circulars A-102 and A-110. This includes the 
purchase of ADP equipment. The request must be directed through your 
GOTR and must include a detailed description and cost of the items to 
be acquired.
    Applicants may budget limited amounts of grant funds to work with 
technical expert(s) to provide advice and develop more complete project 
plans.
    2. Technical Proposal. The technical proposal, Part II, shall 
demonstrate the offeror's capabilities in accordance with the Statement 
of Work in Section III. NO COST DATA OR REFERENCE TO PRICE SHALL BE 
INCLUDED IN THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL.
    3. Page Count Limit. Applications are to be limited to 30 single-
side pages, single-spaced. The technical proposal should include a 2 to 
3 page executive summary.

C. Hand-Delivered Proposals

    Proposals should be mailed at least five (5) days prior to the 
closing date. However, if proposals are hand-delivered, they must be 
received at the designated place by 2 p.m., Eastern Time by January 20, 
1995. All overnight mail will be considered to be hand-delivered and 
must be received at the designated place by the specified time and 
closing date. Telegraphed and/or faxed proposals will not be honored. 
Failure to adhere to the above instructions will be a basis for a 
determination of nonresponsiveness.

D. Late Proposals

    Any proposal received at the office designated in the solicitation 
after the exact time specified for receipt will not be considered 
unless it is received before award is made and it--
    (1) Was sent by the U.S. Postal Service registered or certified 
mail not later than the fifth calendar day before the date specified 
for receipt of the application (e.g., an offer submitted in response to 
a solicitation requiring receipt of applications by the 20th of the 
month must have been mailed by the 15th); or
    (2) Was sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day Service--
Post Office to Addressee, not later than 5 p.m. at the place of mailing 
two working days prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals. 
The term ``working days'' excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.
    The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a 
late proposal sent either by the U.S. Postal Service registered or 
certified mail is the U.S. postmark both on the envelope or wrapper and 
on the original receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. Both postmarks 
must show a legible date or the proposal shall be processed as if 
mailed late. ``Postmark'' means a printed, stamped, or otherwise placed 
impression (exclusive of a postage meter machine impression) that is 
readily identifiable without further action as having been supplied and 
affixed by employees of the U.S. Postal Service on the date of mailing. 
Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk to place a 
legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both the receipt 
and the envelope or wrapper.
    The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a 
late proposal sent by ``Express Mail Next Day Service--Post Office to 
Addressee'' is the date entered by the post office receiving clerk on 
the ``Express Mail Next Day Service--Post Office to Addressee'' label 
and the postmark on both the envelope and wrapper and on the original 
receipt from the U.S. Postal Service. ``Postmark'' has the same meaning 
as defined above. Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk 
to place a legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both 
the receipt and the envelope or wrapper.

E. Withdrawal of Proposals

    Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice or telegram (including 
mailgram) received at any time before award. Proposals may be withdrawn 
in person or by an applicant or an authorized representative thereof, 
if the representative's identity is made known and the representative 
signs a receipt for the proposal before an award.

F. Period of Performance

    The period of performance will be from the date of grant execution 
through June 30, 1997.

G. Funding

    DOL has set aside up to $3 million to be disbursed, contingent upon 
resources being available for this purpose. It is expected that grant 
awards will be up to a maximum of $1 million each.

H. Option to Extend

    Based on the availability of funds, effective program operation and 
the needs of the Department, options for annual funding of up to two 
(2) additional years for project operation may be provided.

for award is to be made after careful evaluation of proposals by a 
panel of specialists selected by DOL. Panelists will evaluate the 
proposals for acceptability with emphasis on the various factors 
enumerated below. The panel results are advisory in nature and not 
binding on the Grant Officer. Evaluations will be made on the basis of 
both what the proposed offeror intends to do during the grant period, 
and on the usefulness of the demonstration after the end of the grant 
period.

A. Technical Evaluation (75 points)

    Services and Target Group. The responsiveness of the services to be 
provided, including the degree to which the services appear to meet the 
needs of the target population. The degree to which the services to be
