Workforce Training and Placement Environmental Green Jobs

The City of Hartford is soliciting proposals from Workplace Training and Placement Agencies to establish a program focused on providing job development and meaningful employment to Hartford residents. The program specifically targets underserved populations and individuals with personal barriers, with priority consideration given to agencies capable of servicing ex-offenders and individuals recently released from prison. This initiative, categorized under environmental green jobs, requires providers to deliver services skillfully and promptly in accordance with professional standards and City of Hartford Department of Code Enforcement regulations. Successful respondents must adhere to strict compliance standards, including the submission of Equal Employment Opportunity reports, wage certifications ensuring prevailing wage rates, and affidavits of good legal and financial standing. Contractual requirements include maintaining comprehensive professional liability, general liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the City named as an additional insured. The City utilizes a trade-off basis for award, evaluating candidates on factors such as quality of work, organization, and compliance with minority and women-owned business enterprise requirements rather than price alone. Administrative terms include a standard net 30-day payment cycle, a general one-year contract term, and mandatory adherence to non-discrimination and anti-conflict of interest policies.
