Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify Agreement PO-183495 with Alvis by extending the Agreement termination date from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. This extension will allow Alvis to fully implement the HIRE Education program (Help in Reentry Employment). Due to a late start with the 2019 award, the agency had fewer months in which to fully expend its funds in 2019. This legislation would modify the Agreement authorized by Ordinance No. 1359-2019.
Emergency action is requested so program activities can continue and be completed without further delay.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are needed for this modification.
