Council Member Ayala inquires about the typical contract terms for career services providers, and Scott French provides details on contract duration and renewal options.
- Typical contracts are 3 years with a 3-year option for extension
- Current contracts have been extended beyond the typical duration due to the procurement process for new PACE and We Care programs
- The last major procurement for these contracts was in 2016-2017 under the prior administration
- This procurement marked the shift to a career pathways approach for HRA

Okay.
0:24:28
Can you tell us how long the contract terms are typically?
Scott French
0:24:33
Typically, they are 3 years with a 3 year option for extension.
0:24:40
The current contracts, I believe, will be a little over that.
0:24:44
As we needed to do an extension on those contracts while we procured the new PACE program and the We Care program.
0:24:53
But typically, they're a 3 year contract with a 3 year potential of a 3 year extension.

So the last one would have been 3 years ago?
Scott French
0:25:01
No.
0:25:01
It would have been in 2016, 2017.
0:25:08
It was the last contracts were procured under the prior administration.
0:25:14
That was the original sort of shift to a career pathways approach for HRA.
0:25:19
And we can get back to you with the specific dates over

the time.

And when do you expect to issue a new one?
