    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.

    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.
    
    Part III. Government's Requirement/Statement of Work Solicitation

         How will qualified providers, which can be used by 
    participants with career management account funds, be determined?
         What information will be available to the worker to 
    identify and evaluate optional providers of services and training? How 
    will this information be developed?
         How will the worker be able to access this information?
         How will the amount of funds in an individual's career 
    management account be determined?
         How are funds in the career management account accessed?
         What is the time period in which the account is available 
    to an individual (i.e. is there an established expiration date at the

    services.
    
    E. Participant Services
    
        A description of the services to be available and/or provided to 
    participants. The services supported with funds under this grant must 
    be allowable under Section 314 of the Act. This description should 
    include a participant service flowchart indicating the sequence in the 
    participant service process and the criteria/decision points which are 
    used to determine the appropriateness of specific services for 
    individual participants.
    
    F. Outcomes
    
        A description of the project outcomes and of the specific measures, 
    and planned achievement levels, that will be used to determine the 
    success of the project. These outcomes and measures should include, but 
    are not limited to:

    responsiveness and effectiveness of the services provided. The 
    description should include an identification of the types of 
    information to be obtained, the method(s) and frequency of data 
    collection, and how the information will be used in implementing and 
    managing the project. It is expected that grantees may employ focus 
    groups and surveys, in addition to other methods, to collect feedback 
    information.
    
    H. Replicability
    
         Provide a description of the applicant's plans for continuing or

    Partnership Act, as amended, particularly at Section 4 and Section 301.
    
    Part IV. Evaluation Criteria
    
        Prospective offerors are advised that the selection of grantee(s) 
    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 
    provided and the process for selecting eligible individuals to be 
    served through individual career management accounts are appropriate to 
    the objectives of this demonstration. (20 points)
        Career Management Account System Design. The completeness of the 
    description of career management system. The extent to which the system 
    creates more flexibility and individual choice for the individual 
    worker. The extensiveness/scope of the service provider network. (30 
    points)
        Coordination and Linkages; Utilization of Resources. The extent to 
    which the project will be integrated with other existing public and 
    private resources, and is supported by appropriate State and local 
    organizations. Extent to which project design clearly leverages funds 
    from non-JTPA sources. (15 points)
        Evaluation and replicability. The completeness of the description 
    of the methods which will be used to determine the performance of the 
    project, including assessments of customer satisfaction. The likelihood 
    that the approach may be applicable to the full range of dislocated 
    worker programs across the country. (10 points)
    
    B. Cost Evaluation (25 points)
    
        The cost effectiveness of the project as indicated by the 
    relationship of proposed costs to number of participants to be served, 
    the range of services to be provided and the planned outcomes.
        Applicants are advised that discussions may be necessary in order 
    to clarify any inconsistencies in their applications. Applications may 
    be rejected where the information required is not provided in 
    sufficient detail to permit adequate assessment of the proposal. The 
    final decision on the award will be based on what is most advantageous 
    to the Federal Government as determined by the ETA Grant Officer.
