1 Innovation and Expansion Projects ITQ Contract # Request for Quote (RFQ) Statement of Work Category 10 Project Name: Department: Date: September 2015 Innovation and Expansion Project Providing Pre-Employment Transition Services for Students with Disabilities Department of Labor and Industry, Office of Vocational Rehabilitation 1. OBJECTIVES: The key objective for this project is the development of an Innovation and Expansion Project to provide new strategies and programs to provide Pre-Employment Transition Services for Students with the most significant disabilities, as defined in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. These new programs will comply with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation State Plan and target the development of new strategies and programs that currently may not be available in a District Office s service area. The 2015 State Plan has been revised to include the following language: These projects will target expansion of employment services into rural and underserved counties, job readiness and job placement of customers with the most significant disabilities who have traditionally been underserved, and/or the development of Industry Integrated Employment programs, as well as other innovative strategies identified by local OVR staff. OVR anticipates that potential contracts would generally be up to $150,000 for the initial project year. Higher contract awards could be accepted for proposals of exceptional activity, as funds are available. Depending on the availability of funds, OVR will use Pre-Employment Transition Funds for the development of these Innovation and Expansion Projects. OVR is seeking community projects that result in competitive integrated employment of persons with the most significant disabilities. Section 7(5) of the Act defines competitive integrated employment as work that (i) Is performed on a full-time or part-time basis (including self-employment) and for which an individual is compensated at a rate that (A) Is not less than the higher of the rate specified in section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)) or the rate required in the applicable State or local minimum wage law; (B) Is not less than the customary rate paid by the employer for the same or similar work performed by other employees who are not individuals with disabilities and who are similarly situated in similar occupations by the same employer and who have similar training, experience, and skills;
2 (C) In the case of an individual who is self-employed, yields an income that is comparable to the income received by other individuals who are not individuals with disabilities and who are self-employed in similar occupations or on similar tasks and who have similar training, experience, and skills; (D) Is eligible for the level of benefits provided to other employees; and (ii) Is at a location-- (A) Typically found in the community; and (B) Where the employee with a disability interacts for the purpose of performing the duties of the position with other employees within the particular work unit and the entire work site, and, as appropriate to the work performed, other persons (e.g., customers and vendors), who are not individuals with disabilities (not including supervisory personnel or individuals who are providing services to such employee) to the same extent that employees who are not individuals with disabilities and who are in comparable positions interact with these persons; and (iii) Presents, as appropriate, opportunities for advancement that are similar to those for other employees who are not individuals with disabilities and who have similar positions.
