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.

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.

But typically, they're a 3 year contract with a 3 year potential of a 3 year extension.

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.

And we can get back to you with the specific dates over
