Applications (SGA) for Grants Serving Young Adult Offenders and High
School Dropouts in High-Poverty, High-Crime Communities
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor.
Announcement Type: Notice of Solicitation for Grant Applications
(SGA).
Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/DFA PY 09-05.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 17.261.
DATES: Key Dates: The closing date for receipt of applications under
this announcement is May 10, 2010. Applications must be received no
later than 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
ADDRESSES: Mailed applications must be addressed to the U.S. Department
of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Division of Federal
Assistance, Attention: B. Jai Johnson, Grant Officer, Reference SGA-DFA
PY 09-05, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-4716, Washington, DC
20210. For complete ``Application and Submission Information,'' please
refer to Section IV.
SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration announces the
availability of approximately $20 million for two grants to serve young
adult (ages 18 to 24) offenders and high school dropouts in high-
poverty, high-crime communities. The purpose of these grants is to
prepare these individuals for employment. These grants will be awarded
through a competitive process open to national and regional
intermediaries with experience conducting multi-site projects and
experience serving young adult offenders. The Department expects to
award two grants of $10 million each covering a six-month planning
period and two full years of operation. Grantees will be required to
competitively select local sub-grantees to operate the program in a
minimum of five high-poverty, high-crime communities across at least
two States.
This solicitation provides background information and describes the
application submission requirements, outlines the process that eligible
entities must use to apply for funds covered by this solicitation, and
outlines the evaluation criteria used as a basis for selecting the
grantees.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This solicitation consists of eight parts:
Part I provides a description of this funding opportunity.
Part II describes the size and nature of the anticipated awards.
Part III describes eligibility information.
Part IV provides information on the application and submission
process.
Part V describes the criteria against which applications will be
reviewed and explains the proposal review process.
Part VI provides award administration information.
Part VII contains DOL agency contact information.
Part VIII other information.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Each year approximately 650,000 persons are released from State and
Federal prisons. These prisoners do not return to communities evenly
distributed across the United States, but rather return
disproportionately to high-poverty communities characterized by high
rates of joblessness, crime, and drug abuse. Released prisoners face
high probabilities of returning to crime, with Department of Justice
data showing that three out of five released prisoners are arrested for
new crimes within three years, and two out of five return to prison
within threes years. Returning offenders face a myriad of problems that
contribute to their high rates of re-arrest and re-imprisonment,
including joblessness, low educational levels, and drug addiction. The
unemployment rate among ex-prisoners has been estimated between 25 and
40 percent. An estimated 19 percent of adult State prisoners are
completely illiterate and 40 percent are functionally illiterate; over
half of State parole entrants are not high school graduates; and as
many as eleven percent have only an eighth grade education or less.
To help address these problems the DOL will award grants under this
announcement to improve the employment prospects of young adult (ages
18 to 24) released prisoners and high school dropouts living in high-
poverty, high-crime communities. The purpose of these grants is to
prepare these individuals for employment, by increasing the employment
rate of participants, decreasing the recidivism rate of young offenders
served, increasing the rate at which participants receive high school
diplomas and industry-recognized credentials, and increasing the rate
at which participants enter post-secondary education and training.
These grants will be awarded through a competitive process open to
national and regional intermediaries with experience conducting multi-
site projects and experience serving young adult offenders. The DOL
expects to award two grants of $10 million each covering a six-month
planning period and two full years of operation. Program Requirements
are as follows:
A. Selection of Sub-Grantees
Grantees will be required to competitively select local sub-
grantees to operate the program in a minimum of five high-poverty,
high-crime communities across at least two States. This competition
should be held after grant award. The Department is not encouraging
applicants to hold competitions or select local sub-grantees and sites
prior to submitting their proposals and applicants will not receive any
additional points for identifying local sub-grantees and sites in their
proposals.
Grantees must follow their own procurement requirements in
conducting this competition, provided that they meet the federal
standards at 29 CFR Parts 95 and 97. These federal standards require
that procurement transactions be conducted in a manner providing to the
maximum extent practical, open and free competition. The Department
recognizes that national and regional intermediary organizations vary
as to whether or not they have local offices, affiliates, or members.
National and regional intermediaries without local offices, affiliates,
or members must conduct an open and free competition to select sub-
grantees and sites. National and regional intermediaries with local
offices, affiliates, or member organizations must also conduct an open
and free competition to select sub-grantees and sites but may restrict
the competition to its local offices, affiliates, or members to select
sub-grantees and sites. If a proposal identifies a specific entry to
provide services, the DOL/ETA's award does not provide the
justification or basis to sole source the procurement, i.e., avoid
competition, unless the activity is regarded as the primary work of an
official partner to the application.
[[Page 17958]]
B. Communities To Be Served
Grant funds must be used to serve young adult offenders and high
school dropouts living in or planning to return to, upon release, high-
poverty, high-crime communities. In their solicitations to select sub-
grantees, grantees must require that applicants identify a community to
be served that has a poverty rate of at least 30 percent. Beginning in
2010, the American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of
Census, will have data available at the Census Tract level. If that
data is available by the time grantees are holding their competitions
to select sub-grantees, grantees must require applicants to use
American Community Survey data to show the cumulative poverty rate of
the various Census Tracts included in their proposed target community.
If Census Tract data are not yet available in the American Community
Survey at the time of the grantee solicitations for sub-grantees,
grantees must require applicants to use data from the 2000 Census to
show the cumulative poverty rate of the various Census Tracts in their
proposed target community. Individual Census Tracts within the proposed
target community may have poverty rates of less than 30 percent, but
the cumulative poverty rate for the community to be served must be over
30 percent. Census Tracts that make up the community to be served must
be contiguous, and grantees must require in their solicitations that
applicants provide an accurate map showing a contiguous target
community. Additionally, as part of their solicitation, grantees must
require applicants to demonstrate that the area to be served is a high-
crime area.
For purposes of this SGA, a high-crime area may be demonstrated by
providing data showing that the felony crime rate in the police
precinct that most closely overlaps with the community to be served is
higher than the overall city's felony crime rate. Additionally, as part
of their solicitation and in order to demonstrate local need and
determine if the target population is large enough to make such awards
within the stated locality grantees must require applicants to provide
data from the State correctional agency on the number of released
prisoners returning to the community each year from State prisons, and
data from the public school system on the dropout rate of public high
schools serving the area. There are no requirements on the size of the
population of the community to be served. At least 90 percent of the
participants need to be residing in or planning to return to the target
area, with the remaining participants residing in or planning to return
to generally the same geographic area.
C. Required Project Components
Each local project funded under these grants must include each of
the components described below. In their solicitations to select sub-
grantees, grantees must require local projects to include each of these
components. Each individual enrolled in these projects does not
necessarily have to participate in each of these components.
1. Employment Strategies
The employment strategies component can include strategies such as
job placement, transitional jobs, on-the job training, subsidized jobs
in both the public and private sectors, participation in conservation
and service corps programs, and job readiness training. An emphasis
should be on placing participants in high-demand occupations including
green jobs. Designing this component will require sub-grantees to
coordinate with the local workforce system to provide access both to
employers and the service providers funded by the local workforce
system.
2. Case Management
This component will provide a team of full-time advocates to serve
program participants. The Department anticipates these case managers or
advocates will assist parole officers in serving returning young
offenders and in linking these offenders to supportive services,
housing, mental health services, and other social services including
anger management. The Department expects that case management will
start at some point prior to release to allow young offenders to become
familiar with their case managers prior to release.
3. Training and Educational Strategies
This component will provide opportunities for young adult offenders
and high school dropouts to receive vocational training leading to
industry-recognized credentials as well as remediation to improve their
math, reading, writing and English language skills to prepare for
General Educational Development (GED) tests. These services can either
be provided directly with grant funds or through linkages with existing
local adult education and community college programs. The Department
encourages links to registered apprenticeship programs and to community
college two-year degree programs.
4. Mentoring
This component will be aimed at providing adult mentors for
returning young offenders and high school dropouts. Mentoring can be
provided through volunteers recruited in a variety of ways, including
through faith and community-based organizations and corporations, and
may include one-on-one mentoring, group mentoring, and service-based
mentoring. The Department recognizes that it may not be possible to
provide a mentor for every participant, but grantees should develop
strategies to provide a high proportion of their participants with
mentors.
5. Restorative Justice Projects
This component will provide each sub-grantee with the opportunity
to develop restorative justice projects that allow returning offenders
to participate in community service projects to give something positive
back to their neighborhood to make up for their criminal offenses.
Examples of possible collaborating agencies for these civic justice
projects include local conservation and service corps programs,
volunteer organizations, and State and local parks. Note that funds
from these grants cannot be used to pay for building materials.
6. Community-Wide Efforts to Reduce Crime and Violence
This component will provide each sub-grantee with the opportunity
to involve faith-based and community organizations, State and local
government agencies, and social service organizations in the
neighborhoods being served in a community-wide effort to prevent crime
and violence as was done in Boston's 10 Point Coalition (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=212652).
D. Required Partnerships
Each sub-grantee will be required to develop partnerships to assist
in the following activities. In their solicitations to select sub-
grantees, grantees must require applicants to have commitments to
assist in these activities in place from these organizations:
The State correctional agency in order to receive
referrals of prisoners about to be released who plan to return to the
community being served;
The local parole office in order to receive referrals of
released prisoners and to collaborate in serving these individuals;
Local drug and alcohol abuse treatment centers in order to
provide assistance to program participants in need of such services;
and
[[Page 17959]]
The local Workforce Investment Board in order to provide
access to employment services provided by One-Stop Career Centers.
Grantees are also encouraged to partner with employers, registered
apprenticeship, educational institutions, and [labor or labor-
management partnerships].
E. Allowable Uses of Grant Funds
Allowable uses of grant funds for projects funded under these
grants include but are not limited to the following activities:
(1) Workforce and education activities, such as:
Job placement services,
Vocational skills training and on-the-job training,
Paid and unpaid work experiences, including transitional
jobs and community service activities,
Payment of stipends which are generally provided to
participants for participating in classes and training and wages for
work performed,
Basic skills instruction and remedial education,
Language instruction educational programs for individuals
with limited English proficiency,
Tutoring, credit retrieval programs, dropout prevention
activities, GED instruction, and career awareness classes,
Counseling and assistance in obtaining postsecondary
education and required financial aid; and
Alternative secondary school services.
(2) Case management services and related activities, such as
comprehensive guidance and counseling on drug and alcohol abuse and
referrals and anger management counseling;
(3) Mentoring and related supportive services;
(4) Participant personal development activities that seek to
develop non-technical skills, abilities, and traits that participants
need to function in a specific employment environment that supports one
or more workplace competencies including problem-solving and other
cognitive skills, oral communication skills, personal qualities, work
ethic, and interpersonal and teamwork skills. Examples include
leadership training, financial literacy training, and job readiness
training;
(5) Referrals to supportive housing, mental health and substance
abuse services as may be available;
(6) The provision of needs-related payments, which is limited
financial assistance to participants who are determined under the
grantee's policy to require support to participate in the program; and;
(7) Follow-up services that focus efforts on job retention, wage
gains and career progress through regular contact with participant
employers, including assistance in addressing work-related problems
that arise, assistance in securing better paying jobs, career
development and further education, work in peer support groups, adult
mentoring, and tracking of progress made by participants in employment
after training.
II. Award Information
A. Award Amount
The Department expects to award two grants of approximately $10
million each.
B. Period of Performance
Grants will be awarded for a 30-month period of performance that
includes up to six months of planning and at least 24 full months of
operation. In the Budget Narrative section, applicants must provide
separate budgets for planning and operations. Regardless of the length
of the planning period, applicants must budget for a full 24 months of
operation. At the Department's discretion, no-cost extensions may be
granted.
III. Eligibility Information and Other Grant Specifications
A. Eligible Applicants
Applicants may be national and regional organizations with
experience in conducting multi-site demonstrations and experience
serving young adult ex-offenders. To be eligible for awards, applicants
must show evidence that they have both (1) conducted at least one
multi-site project operated concurrently in at least five local areas
across more than one State, and (2) have experience serving young adult
ex-offenders. The experience in conducting multi-site projects does not
necessarily have to be in serving ex-offenders.
B. Cost Sharing or Matching
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement in these grants,
but the Department strongly encourages grantees to include the
leveraging of resources as one of the evaluation factors that they use
to select local sub-grantees. Leveraged resources can come from a
variety of sources, including: public sector (e.g., Federal, State, or
local governments); non-profit sector (e.g., community organizations,
faith-based organizations, or education and training institutions);
private sector (e.g., businesses or industry associations); investor
community (e.g., angel networks); philanthropic community; and the
economic development community.
C. Other Eligibility Requirements
Eligible Enrollees
An individual may participate in a project funded under these
grants if they are:
At least age 18 and not above age 24 on the date of
enrollment;
Are currently incarcerated in the adult criminal justice
or juvenile justice systems in a State or Federal prison or local jail
or state or local juvenile correctional facility; are on probation or
parole in the adult criminal justice system; have previously been
incarcerated or on probation in the adult criminal justice system or
the juvenile justice system, or are a high school dropout (an
individual who is no longer attending any school and who has not
received a secondary school diploma or recognized equivalent), and
Reside in or plan to return to upon release the community
to be served identified by the sub-grantee, except that up to 10
percent of enrollees may reside in or plan to return to a geographic
area outside of but close to the target community.
A minimum of 60 percent of program participants must be currently
or previously incarcerated, currently or previously on probation, or
currently or previously on parole in the adult criminal justice system.
D. Veterans' Priority
The Jobs for Veterans Act (Pub. L. 107-288) requires priority of
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 DOL. The regulations
implementing this priority of service can be found at 20 CFR part 1010.
In circumstances where a grant recipient must choose between two
qualified candidates for training, one of whom is a veteran or eligible
spouse, the Veterans Priority of Service provisions require that the
grant recipient give the veteran or eligible spouse priority of service
by admitting him or her into the training program. To obtain priority
of service a veteran or spouse must meet the program's eligibility
requirements. Grantees must comply with DOL guidance on veterans'
priority. Employment and Training Administration (``ETA'') Training and
Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 10-09 (issued November 10, 2009)
provides guidance on implementing
[[Page 17960]]
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.

addition, the applicant should address precisely how the administrative
costs support the project goals. The entire Federal grant amount
requested should be included on both the SF-424 and SF-424A. Please
note that applicants that fail to provide a SF-424, a SF-424A, a D-U-N-
S[supreg] Number, and a budget narrative will be removed from
consideration before the technical review process.
Applicants are also encouraged, but not required, to submit OMB
Survey N. 1890-0014: Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity for
Applicants, which can be found at http://www.doleta.gov/sga/forms.cfm.
Part II. The Technical Proposal. The Technical Proposal
demonstrates the applicant's capability to implement the grant project
in accordance with the provisions of this solicitation. The guidelines
for the content of the Technical Proposal are provided in section V.A
of this SGA. The Technical Proposal is limited to 20 double-spaced
single-sided 8.5x11 inch pages with 12 point text font and 1-inch
margins. Any materials beyond the 20-page limit will not be read.
Further, any tables or charts contained in the Technical Proposal are
included in the 20-page limit and should be single-spaced single-sided
8.5 x 11 inch pages with 12 point text font and 1 inch margins.
Applicants should number the Technical Proposal beginning with page
number 1. Applications that do not include Part II, the Technical
Proposal, will be considered non-responsive. The application should
also include a 2-page Executive Summary, which does not count against
the 20-page limit for the Technical Proposal.
Part III. Attachments to the Technical Proposal. In addition to the
20-page Technical Proposal, the applicant must submit the following
``Required Attachments'': Only these attachments listed below as
``Required Attachments'' will be excluded from the page limit. The
``Required Attachments'' must be affixed as separate, clearly
identified appendices to the application. Additional materials such as
resumes or general letters of support or commitment will not be read.
The ``Required Attachments'' are as follows:
(a) The Two-Page Executive Summary
Applications may be submitted electronically on Grants.gov or in
hardcopy by mail or hand delivery. These processes are described in
further detail in Section IV.C. Applicants submitting proposals in
hardcopy must submit an original signed application (including the SF-
424) and one (1) ``copy-ready'' version free of bindings, staples or
protruding tabs to ease in the reproduction of the proposal by DOL.
Applicants submitting proposals in hardcopy are also required to
provide an identical electronic copy of the proposal on compact disc
(CD).
C. Submission Process Date, Times, and Addresses
The closing date for receipt of applications under this
announcement is May 10, 2010. Applications must be received at the
address below no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Applications sent
by e-mail, telegram, or facsimile (FAX) will not be accepted. If an
application is submitted by both hardcopy and through http://www.grants.gov a letter must accompany the hardcopy application stating
why two applications were submitted and the differences between the two
submissions. If no letter accompanies the hardcopy, we will review the
copy submitted through http://www.grants.gov. For multiple applications
submitted through http://www.grants.gov, we will review the latest
submittal. Applications that do not meet the conditions set forth in
this notice will be considered nonresponsive. No exceptions to the
mailing and delivery requirements set forth in this notice will be
granted.
Mailed applications must be addressed to the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Division of Federal
Assistance, Attention: B. Jai Johnson, Grant Officer, Reference SGA/DFA
PY 09-05, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N4716, Washington, DC
20210. Applicants are advised that mail delivery in the Washington area
may be
[[Page 17961]]
delayed due to mail decontamination procedures. Hand-delivered
proposals will be received at the above address. All overnight mail
will be considered to be hand-delivered and must be received at the
designated place by the specified closing date and time.
Applicants may apply online through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov); however, due to the expected increase in system
activity applicants are encouraged to use an alternate method to submit
grant applications during this heightened period of demand. While not
mandatory, DOL encourages the submission of applications through a
professional overnight delivery service.
Applications that are submitted through Grants.gov must be
successfully submitted at http://www.grants.gov no later than 4 p.m.
Eastern Time on the closing date, and then subsequently validated by
Grants.gov. The submission and validation process is described in more
detail below. The process can be complicated and time-consuming.
Applicants are strongly advised to initiate the process as soon as
possible and to plan for time to resolve technical problems if
necessary. The Department strongly recommends that before the applicant
begins to write the proposal, applicants should immediately initiate
and complete the ``Get Registered'' registration steps at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get registered.jsp. Applicants should read
through the registration process carefully before registering. These
steps may take as much as four weeks to complete, and this time should
be factored into plans for electronic submission in order to avoid
unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of an application.
The site also contains registration checklists to help you walk through
the process.
The Department strongly recommends that applicants download the
``Organization Registration Checklist'' at http://www.grants.gov/assets/Organization Steps Complete Registration.pdf and prepare the
information requested before beginning the registration process.
Reviewing and assembling required information before beginning the
registration process will alleviate last minute searches for required
information and save time.
To register with Grants.gov, applicants applying electronically
must have a D-U-N-S[reg] Number and must register with the Federal
Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Step-by-step instructions for
registering with CCR can be found at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/org_step2.jsp. All applicants must register with CCR in order to apply
online. Failure to register with the CCR will result in your
application being rejected by Grants.gov during the submission process.
The next step in the registration process is creating a username and
password with Grants.gov to create a profile as an Authorized
Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs will need to know the D-U-N-
S[reg] Number of the organization for which they will be submitting
applications to complete this process. To read more detailed
instructions for creating a profile on Grants.gov visit: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/org_step3.jsp. After creating a profile on
Grants.gov, the E-Biz Point of Contact (E-Biz POC)--a representative
from your organization who is the contact listed for CCR--will receive
an e-mail to grant the AOR permission to submit applications on behalf
of their organization. The E-Biz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and
approve an applicant as the AOR, thereby giving him or her permission
to submit applications. To learn more about AOR Authorization visit:
http://www.grants.gov/applicants/org_step5.jsp, or to track AOR status
visit: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/org_step6.jsp. An application
submitted through Grants.gov constitutes a submission as an
electronically signed application. The registration and account
creation with Grants.gov, with E-Biz POC approval, establishes an AOR.
When you submit the application through Grants.gov, the name of your
AOR on file will be inserted into the signature line of the
application. Applicants must register the individual who is able to
make legally binding commitments for the applicant organization as the
AOR; this step is often missed and it is crucial for valid submissions.
When a registered applicant submits an application with Grants.gov,
an electronic time stamp is generated within the system when the
application is successfully received by Grants.gov. Within two business
days of application submission, Grants.gov will send the applicant two
e-mail messages to provide the status of application progress through
the system. The first e-mail, almost immediate, will contain a tracking
number and will confirm receipt of the application by Grants.gov. The
second e-mail will indicate the application has either been
successfully validated or has been rejected due to errors. Only
applications that have been successfully submitted by the deadline and
subsequently successfully validated will be considered. It is the sole
responsibility of the applicant to ensure a timely submission. While it
is not required that an application be successfully validated before
the deadline for submission, it is prudent to reserve time before the
deadline in case it is necessary to resubmit an application that has
not been successfully validated. Therefore sufficient time should be
allotted for submission (two business days) and, if applicable,
subsequent time to address errors and receive validation upon
resubmission (an additional two business days for each ensuing
submission). It is important to note that if sufficient time is not
allotted and a rejection notice is received after the due date and
time, the application will not be considered.
To ensure consideration, the components of the application must be
saved as either .doc, .xls or .pdf files. If submitted in any other
format, the applicant bears the risk that compatibility or other issues
will prevent our ability to consider the application. ETA will attempt
to open the document but will not take any additional measures in the
event of issues with opening. In such cases, the non-conforming
application will not be considered for funding. We strongly advise
applicants to use the plethora of tools and documents, including FAQs,
that are available on the ``Applicant Resources'' page at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/resources.jsp. To receive updated information
about critical issues, new tips for users and other time sensitive
updates as information is available, applicants may subscribe to
``Grants.gov Updates'' at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/email_subscription_signup.jsp.
If applicants encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find
an answer in any of the other resources, call 1-800-518-4726 to speak
to a Customer Support Representative or e-mail [email protected]. The
Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are
closed on Federal holidays.
Late Applications: For applications submitted on Grants.gov, only
applications that have been successfully submitted no later than 4.00
p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date and subsequently successfully
validated will be considered. Applicants take a significant risk by
waiting to the last day to submit by Grants.gov. Any application
received after the exact date and time specified for receipt at the
office designated in this notice will not be considered, unless it is
received before awards are made, it was properly addressed, and it was:
(a) Sent by U.S. Postal Service mail, postmarked not
[[Page 17962]]
later than the fifth calendar day before the date specified for receipt
of applications (e.g., an application required to be received by the
20th of the month must be postmarked by the 15th of that month); or (b)
sent by professional overnight delivery service to the addressee not
later than one working day before the date specified for receipt of
applications. ``Postmarked'' 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 or affixed on the date of mailing by an employee of the U.S.
Postal Service. Therefore, applicants should request the postal clerk
to place a legible hand cancellation ``bull's eye'' postmark on both
the receipt and the package. Evidence of timely submission by a
professional overnight delivery service must be demonstrated by equally
reliable evidence created by the delivery service provider indicating
the time and place of receipt.
D. Intergovernmental Review
This funding opportunity is not subject to Executive Order (EO)
12372, ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs.''
E. Other Submission Requirements
Withdrawal of Applications. Applications may be withdrawn by
written notice at any time before an award is made.
F. Funding Restrictions
Determinations of allowable costs will be made in accordance with
the applicable Federal cost principles. Disallowed costs are those
charges to a grant that the grantor agency or its representative
determines not to be allowed in accordance with the applicable Federal
cost principles or other conditions contained in the grant. Successful
and unsuccessful applicants will not be entitled to reimbursement of
pre-award costs.
DOL/ETA's acceptance of a proposal and award of Federal funds to
sponsor any program does not provide a waiver of any grant requirements
and/or procedures. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars
A-122 and A-87 require that an entity's procurement procedures must
ensure that all procurement transactions are conducted, as much as
practical, to provide open and free competition.
1. Indirect Cost Rate
As specified in OMB Circular Cost Principles (A-122 and A-87),
indirect costs are those that have been incurred for common or joint
objectives and cannot be readily identified with a particular final
cost objective. In order to use grant funds for indirect costs
incurred, the applicant must obtain an Indirect Cost Rate Agreement
with its Federal cognizant agency either before or shortly after grant
award.
2. Administrative Costs
Under this SGA, an entity that receives a grant to carry out a
project or program may not use more than ten percent of the amount of
the grant to pay administrative costs associated with the program or
project. Administrative costs could be direct or indirect costs, and
are defined at 20 CFR 667.220. Administrative costs do not need to be
identified separately from program costs on the SF424A Budget
Information Form. They should be discussed in the budget narrative and
tracked through the grantee's accounting system. To claim any
administrative costs that are also indirect costs, the applicant must
obtain an Indirect Cost Rate Agreement from its Federal cognizant
agency.
3. Allowable Costs
The Department determines what constitutes allowable costs in
accordance with the following Federal cost principles, as applicable:
(1) State and Local Government--OMB Circular A-87; (2) Educational
Institutions--OMB Circular A-21; (3) Nonprofit Organizations--OMB
Circular A-122; and (4) Profit-making Commercial Firms--48 CFR Part 31.
4. Legal Rules Pertaining to Inherently Religious Activities by
Organizations That Receive Federal Financial Assistance
The government is generally prohibited from providing direct
Federal financial assistance for inherently religious activities. See
29 CFR part 2, Subpart D. Grants under this solicitation may not be
used for religious instruction, worship, prayer, proselytizing, or
other inherently religious activities. Neutral, non-religious criteria
that neither favor nor disfavor religion will be employed in the
selection of grant recipients and must be employed by grantees in the
selection of sub-recipients.
5. Salary and Bonus Limitations
Under Public Law 109-234, none of the funds appropriated in Public
Law 109-149, or prior Acts under the heading ``Employment and
Training'' that are available for expenditure on or after June 15,
2006, shall be used by a recipient or sub-recipient of such funds to
pay the salary and bonuses of an individual, either as direct costs or
indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive Level II. Public Laws
111-8 and 111-117 contain the same limitations with respect to funds
appropriated under each of those Laws. These limitations also apply to
grants funded under this SGA. The salary and bonus limitation does not
apply to vendors providing goods and services as defined in OMB
Circular A-133 (codified at 29 CFR parts 96 and 99). See Training and
Employment Guidance Letter number 5-06 for further clarification:
http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DCON=2262.
6. 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 sub-grant or contract
under the grant or sub-grant; and (ii) any rights of copyright to which
the grantee, sub-grantee 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 licensing fee
associated with such copyrighted material, although they may be used to
pay costs for obtaining a copy which is limited to the developer/seller
costs of copying and shipping. If revenues are generated through
selling products developed with grant funds, including intellectual
property, these revenues are program income. Program income is added to
the grant and must be expended for allowable grant activities.
If applicable, the following needs to be on all products developed
in whole or in part with grant funds:
This workforce solution was funded by a grant awarded by the
U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
The solution was created by the grantee and does not necessarily
reflect the official position of the U.S. Department of Labor. The
Department of Labor 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

number of participants to be served through each of the training and
educational strategies.
Mentoring: Describe how the mentoring component will be
carried out, including how mentors will be recruited, screened, and
trained, the expected length of time participants will be mentored, and
the anticipated number of participants who will receive mentors. Also,
discuss the extent to which you will use one-on-one mentoring, group
mentoring, service-centered mentoring, and work-based mentoring.
Restorative Justice: Discuss how you will implement
community service projects for participants, the anticipated number of
projects, and the number of enrollees expected to be served in this
component.
Community-Wide Violence Reduction Efforts: Discuss plans
for bringing together faith and community-based organizations, State
and local government agencies, and social service organizations in
neighborhoods served by the grant to prevent crime and violence.
To be considered fully responsive the applicant must fully and
clearly describe its plans and strategies for implementing the required
project components in a manner that will demonstrate the organization's
experience, capabilities, and qualifications for administering a grant
project.
Proposals will be evaluated under this criterion for each of the
six required components as follows:
Up to 10 points will be awarded for the employment
strategies component and up to 6 points each will be awarded for the
remaining five components. The points for each of the required
components will be rated by the panel based on:
The extent to which the applicant demonstrates that it has
thought through how it will implement the component; and
The potential for the component as designed by the
applicant to have large impact on the young adult offender and high
school dropout population in the communities to be served.
2. Plan for Conducting Competition and for Providing Oversight,
Monitoring, and Technical Assistance to Sub-Grantees
Discuss how you will conduct the competition to select sub-grantees
for the project. Provide details about the scope and manner of
selecting sub-grantees and describe the factors on which you expect to
evaluate proposals from potential sub-grantees. Discuss how you will
provide oversight, guidance, and coordination for the sub-grantees to
ensure the successful implementation of the project across all sites.
Discuss how you will monitor the progress of sub-grantees. Only discuss
your monitoring of technical aspects of the project under this
criterion; discuss fiscal monitoring under Criterion 4 Fiscal Capacity
below. Discuss what technical assistance you will provide to sub-
grantees for implementing the required employment, case management,
educational, mentoring, restorative justice, and community-wide
components. Discuss what assistance that you will provide to sub-
grantees in developing partnerships with Federal and State prisons,
local jails, parole officers, local drug and alcohol treatment
services, local workforce investment boards, housing, mental health
services, and other social services.
To be considered fully responsive the applicant must fully and
clearly describe its plans and strategies for implementing the required
project components in a manner that will demonstrate the organization's
experience, capabilities, and qualifications for administering a grant
project.
Proposals will be evaluated under this criterion as follows:
Up to 20 points will be awarded by the panel based on:
The extent to which your plan for conducting the
competition is likely to result in quality sub-grantees operating the
project in high-poverty, high-crime communities and the quality of the
design of the competition;
The extent to which your plan for providing oversight,
guidance, monitoring, and coordination for sub-grantees is clear,
practical, and likely to result in a successful project;
The extent to which your plan for providing technical
assistance to sub-grantees in the six required project components is
clear, practical, and likely to result in a successful project;
The extent to which your plan to assist sub-grantees in
developing partnerships with Federal and State prisons, local jails,
parole officers, workforce investment boards, and local drug and
alcohol treatment providers is clear and likely to be effective in
helping sub-grantees develop such partnerships.
3. Organizational Experience in Conducting Multi-Site Projects and
Experience Serving Young Adult Ex-Offenders
First, discuss your organization's experience conducting multi-site
projects in at least five local areas across at least two States.
Select one multi-site project that makes the strongest case for your
ability to conduct such projects. Describe this project, the number of
participants, the oversight and coordination you provided to grantees,
the technical assistance that you provided sub-grantees, the extent of
your success in implementing the project, the outcomes of participants
in the project, and the partnerships developed in carrying out this
project. Second, discuss your organization's experience in serving ex-
offenders. Select one project that makes the strongest case for your
ability to serve ex-offenders. Describe this project, the number of
participants, the extent of
[[Page 17964]]
your success in implementing the project, the outcomes of participants
in the project, and the partnerships developed in carrying out this
project. If the multi-site project you select is the same as the ex-
offender project you select, this project can serve as your answer to
both parts of this rating criterion.
To be considered fully responsive the applicant must fully and
clearly describe its plans and strategies for implementing the required
project components in a manner that will demonstrate the organization's
experience, capabilities, and qualifications for administering a grant
project.
Proposals will be evaluated under this criterion as follows:
Up to 10 points will be awarded for experience in conducting multi-
site projects and up to 10 points will be awarded for experience in
serving ex-offenders. These points will be awarded by the panel based
on:
The organization's success in implementing the project
described;
The level of oversight, coordination, and technical
assistance provided to sub-grantees;
The employment, educational, and recidivism outcomes
achieved by participants in the project; and
The extent of partnerships developed in carrying out the
project.
4. Organizational Fiscal Capacity
Provide evidence of your organization's fiscal capacity to carry
out this project in a manner that protects government funds.
Describe the fiscal controls that you have in place to
safeguard federal funds;
Discuss the positive and negative findings from your three
most recent audits, and your resolution of negative findings
(Applicants agree to provide the Department with these audits if
requested);
Discuss the fiscal controls you had in place in overseeing
sub-grantees in previous multi-site projects, and discuss whether there
were any fiscal problems relating to sub-grantees in these previous
projects;
Describe the fiscal controls and monitoring you will have
in place overseeing the sub-grantees in this project.
To be considered fully responsive the applicant must fully and
clearly describe its plans and strategies for implementing the required
project components in a manner that will demonstrate the organization's
experience, capabilities, and qualifications for administering a grant
project.
Proposals will be evaluated under this criterion as follows:
Up to 20 points will be awarded based on:
The fiscal controls you currently have in place.
The findings from your three most recent audits and your
resolution of negative findings (Taking into account the seriousness of
negative findings, applicants with no negative findings will receive
higher scores on this item than applicants who have effectively
resolved negative findings, who in turn will receive higher scores on
this item than applicants who have not as yet effectively resolved
negative findings);
The fiscal controls you had in place in previous multi-
site projects and any fiscal problems for sub-grantees; and
The fiscal controls and monitoring you plan to have in
place for sub-grantees for this project.
B. Review and Selection Process
Applications for grants under this solicitation will be accepted
after the publication of this announcement and until the closing date.
A technical review panel will carefully evaluate applications against
the selection criteria. These criteria are based on the policy goals,
priorities, and emphases set forth in this SGA. Up to 100 points may be
awarded to an application, depending on the quality of the responses to
the required information described in section V.A. The ranked scores
will serve as the primary basis for selection of applications for
funding, in conjunction with other factors such as geographic balance,
and which proposals are most advantageous to the government. The panel
results are advisory in nature and not binding on the Grant Officer.
The Grant Officer may consider any information that comes to his/her
attention. The government may elect to award the grant(s) with or
without discussions with the applicant. Should a grant be awarded
without discussions, the award will be based on the applicant's
signature on the SF 424, including electronic signature via E-
Authentication on http://www.grants.gov, which constitutes a binding
offer by the applicant.
VI. Award Administration Information
A. Award Notices
All award notifications will be posted on the ETA Homepage (http://www.doleta.gov). Applicants selected for award will be contacted
directly before the grant's execution and non-selected applicants will
be notified by mail. Selection of an organization as a grantee does not
constitute approval of the grant application as submitted. Before the
actual grant is awarded, ETA may enter into negotiations about such
items as program components, staffing and funding levels, and
administrative systems in place to support grant implementation. If the
negotiations do not result in a mutually acceptable submission, the
Grant Officer reserves the right to terminate the negotiation and
decline to fund the application.
B. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
1. Administrative Program Requirements
All grantees, including FBOs, will be subject to all applicable
Federal laws, regulations (available at http://gpoaccess.gov/cfr) and
the applicable OMB Circulars (available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars). The grants awarded under this SGA are subject to the
applicable administrative standards and provisions, including, but not
limited to, the following:
All Grant Recipients--20 CFR part 667.220 (Administrative
Costs).
Non-Profit Organizations--OMB Circulars A-122 (Cost
Principles) and 29 CFR part 95 (Administrative Requirements).
Educational Institutions--OMB Circulars A-21 (Cost
Principles) and 29 CFR part 95 (Administrative Requirements).
State and Local Governments--OMB Circulars A-87 (Cost
Principles) and 29 CFR part 97 (Administrative Requirements).
Profit Making Commercial Firms--Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR)--48 CFR part 31 (Cost Principles), and 29 CFR part 95
(Administrative Requirements).
29 CFR part 2, subpart D--Equal Treatment in Department of
Labor Programs for Religious Organizations, Protection of Religious
Liberty of Department of Labor Social Service Providers and
Beneficiaries.
29 CFR parts 29 and 30--Labor Standards for Registration
of Apprenticeship Programs, and Equal Employment Opportunity in
Apprenticeship and Training.
29 CFR part 31--Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted
Programs of the Department of Labor--Effectuation of Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
29 CFR part 32--Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Handicap
in Programs and Activities Receiving or Benefiting from Federal
Financial Assistance.
29 CFR part 33--Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on the
Basis of Handicap in Programs or Activities Conducted by the Department
of Labor.
[[Page 17965]]
29 CFR part 35--Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Age in
Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance from the
Department of Labor.
29 CFR part 36--Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in
Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial
Assistance.
All entities must comply with 29 CFR parts 37, 93, and 98,
and where applicable 29 CFR parts 96 and 99.
The Department notes that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
(RFRA), 42 U.S.C. 2000bb, applies to all Federal law and its
implementation. If your organization is a faith-based organization that
makes hiring decisions on the basis of religious belief, it may be
entitled to receive Federal financial assistance under Title I of the
Workforce Investment Act and maintain that hiring practice even though
Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act contains a general ban on
religious discrimination in employment. If you are awarded a grant, you
will be provided with information on how to request such an exemption.
In accordance with section 18 of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-65) (2 U.S.C. 1611) and 29 CFR part 93, non-profit
entities that engage in lobbying activities are not eligible to receive
Federal funds and grants.
2. Administrative Standards and Provisions
Except as specifically provided, DOL ETA acceptance of a proposal
and an award of Federal funds to sponsor any program(s) does not
provide a waiver of any grant requirements and/or procedures. For
example, the OMB circulars require, and an entity's procurement
procedures must require, that all procurement transactions will be
conducted, as practical, to provide full and open competition. If a
proposal identifies a specific entity to provide the services, the DOL
ETA award does not provide the justification or basis to sole-source
the procurement, i.e., avoid competition, unless the activity is
regarded as the primary work of an official partner to the application.
3. Special Program Requirements
Evaluation. DOL may require that the Grantee cooperate in an
independent evaluation of their project. This evaluation will make use
of program MIS data, local administrative data on crime and recidivism,
and program progress reports. DOL recognizes that there will be
limitations on this cooperation due to State confidentiality
requirements regarding data on individual offenders.
C. Reporting and Accountability
These grants will be subject to performance goals measuring their
progress in meeting the goals of the grants. National goals will be set
after grant award in the following areas:
Reducing the recidivism rate of young adult offenders
served;
Increasing the employment rate of participants;
Increasing the rate at which participants receive high
school diplomas, and industry-recognized credentials;
Increasing the rate at which participants enter post-
secondary education and training.
Quarterly financial reports, quarterly progress reports, and MIS
data will be submitted by the grantee electronically. Grantees must
agree to meet DOL reporting requirements. The grantee is required to
provide the reports and documents listed below:
The grantee is required to provide the reports and documentation
listed below.
Quarterly Financial Reports. A Quarterly Financial Status
Report (ETA 9130) is required until such time as all funds have been
expended or the grant period has expired. Quarterly reports are due 45
days after the end of each calendar year quarter. Grantees must use DOL
ETA's On-Line Electronic Reporting System. A Closeout Financial Status
Report is due 90 days after the end of the grant period.
Quarterly Progress Reports. The grantee must submit a
quarterly progress report to the designated Federal Project Officer
within 45 days after the end of each calendar year quarter. Two copies
are to be submitted providing a detailed account of activities
undertaken during that quarter. DOL ETA may require additional data
elements to be collected and reported on either a regular basis or
special request basis. Grantees must agree to meet DOL ETA reporting
requirements. The quarterly progress report should be in narrative form
and should include:
--In-depth information on accomplishments, including project success
stories, upcoming grant activities, and promising approaches and
processes.
--Progress toward meeting performance outcomes.
--Challenges being faced by the grantee in implementing the project.
MIS Reports
Organizations will be required to submit updated MIS data within 45
days after the end of each quarter based on a DOL template that reports
on enrollment, services provided, placements, outcomes, and follow-up
status.
In addition, between scheduled reporting dates, the grantee(s) must
immediately inform the designated Federal Project Officer of
significant developments affecting the ability to accomplish the work.
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, and should thoroughly
document the training or labor market information approaches utilized
by the grantee. DOL will provide grantees with formal guidance about
the data and other information that is required to be collected and
reported on either a regular basis or special request basis. Grantees
must agree to meet DOL reporting requirements.
Applicants should be aware of Federal guidelines on record
retention, which require grantees to maintain all records pertaining to
grant activities for a period of not less than three years from the
time of final grant close-out.
