The Economic Development and the Arts Subcommittee recommended City Council approval to contract with the International Rescue Committee, Inc. (IRC) for One-Stop Operator (OSO) Services on behalf of the Phoenix Business and Workforce Development Board, with an aggregate value not exceeding $2,200,000. The OSO coordinates service delivery across the ARIZONA@WORK City of Phoenix One-Stop Network, connecting job seekers and employers. The contract term is approximately 21 months, from October 20, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with two one-year renewal options, designed to align with the City's fiscal year. The IRC's proposal was selected as the highest-scored, responsive, and responsible among three proposals, based on qualifications, staff experience, approach, and budget. Services will be provided at two Comprehensive Job Centers located at 3406 N 51st Avenue (District 5) and 4635 S Central Avenue (District 7). Funding is derived from federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds, ensuring no impact on the City's General Fund. The Board approved this item on May 23, 2024.
