Current Narrative:
Colorado is a local control state that, to the extent practicable, devolves policy-making authority to local boards. In the case of local grant awards for youth workforce investment activities, local boards have been directed to adhere to the requirements within WIOA, develop additional local requirements as appropriate, and utilize their local procurement policies to create detailed statements of work for incorporation in competitive requests for proposals (RFP) and the awards and contracts that result. Such RFPs, awards, and contracts are expected to set standards for achieving the WIOA Section 116 performance indicators, when organizations take on full sub-recipient responsibilities and require documentation of successful achievement of outcomes. These service providers are to be required to demonstrate past success in delivery of services and commit to successful outcomes for any contracted services. In all cases, the local boards are responsible for ensuring that all sub-recipients and contractors are monitored for quality of services and achievement of performance standards.
