Staffing Provider/ Employer of Record for SummerWorks

The City of Louisville is seeking a qualified organization to serve as the Employer of Record for SummerWorks, a program managed by the Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board. The selected provider will manage the employment of youth and young adults between the ages of 16 and 19 in subsidized positions within local public agencies and nonprofit organizations. Interested parties must submit their proposals via the Euna Procurement portal by October 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM EDT. Applicants are required to provide extensive documentation, including a W-9, vendor information, and payroll reports. Compliance requirements are stringent, necessitating registration with the Revenue Commission, adherence to Human Relations Commission affirmative action goals, and certification of the city's vendor hiring policy which restricts criminal history inquiries on initial applications. Additionally, proposers must complete a comprehensive IT Risk Assessment or provide a SOC Type 2 Audit to ensure data security. Preference may be given to local vendors and those paying a minimum wage of at least 10.10 per hour. Bidders must also document their good faith efforts to include minority, female, and handicapped business enterprises in their subcontracting plans.
