r_NCLOSURES
This is a follow up to the questions you raised concerning my memo-
randum dated April 14 concerning the CETA Training Program. This
involves a Resolution and t.iiree proposed training contracts that
are now pending before the City Commission and will be considered
at the Commission meeting of April 24, 1980.
I am attaching two additional memoranda. One has been prepared by
Frank Rodriguez, Federal Employment Division Supervisor, who is in
charge of the CETA program. His memorandum deals specifically with
the questions that you and I discussed. I am also attaching a memo-
randum prepared earlier by Peter Liu, Training Officer, which was our
first report on the status of the proposed training contracts.
As you will see from the attached detailed memoranda, there are no
City funds involved in any of the CETA Training Programs. There is
a need for us to expedite the contracts in order to be able to fulfill
the Department of Labor requirements to spend a substantial portion of
our CETA funds in training for our participants. In addition, you will
note that we are exploring additional contract proposals with Garces
Commercial College as well as in-house training programs, in order to
utilize the additional funding made available under the CETA program.
It may be useful to provide this information to members of the City Com-
mission prior to the meeting of April 24.

This will respond to the additional questions raised by Mr. Grimm
and Mr. Gary regarding your memo of April 14, 1980 addressed to
Mr. Grassie on the subject of the pending resolution for CETA
training contracts.
First, I would like to clarify that the proposed contracts are to
be funded with CETA funds only. No City funds are involved either
directly or indirectly.
The enclosed chart presents an analysis of the projected costs
under each contract. The combined total projected cost is
$175,715. The contracts give us the flexibility, however, to
increase the total amount up to $200,000. The number of partici-
pants involved is 294. Dividing the total projected cost ($175,715)
by the number of participants (294) we arrive at an average cost of
$598 per participant. The average cost per student hour is $3.01.
Wages and fringes are not included in the preceding figures since
participants draw wages and fringes whether they attend training or
not. Projected wages and fringes, however, are included in the
attached chart since these costs can be counted toward our required
training expenditures.
In planning for these programs, a number of proposals were received
but were rejected for various reasons. The proposals rejected were:
E. Kaknics: Registered Professional Engineer, 2 years
teaching experience. Outside city limits.
Theoretical Engineering and Drafting
courses only. No facilities.
Hostway Travel Agency: Airline reservations. No
demonstrated need.
American Motorcycle Mechanic School: No demonstrated
need.

United School of America, Inc.: Various programs. Not
suitable at this time.
Outside City .limits.
M.T.I., Inc. Clerical, Remedial skills, English. Not
centrally located. At least 12 hour
travel time. No equipment, facilities,
.etc., to handle large group.
Under our FY '80 Titles IID and VI budgets (totaling 9.6 million
dollars) we have been allocated a total of 1.4 million dollars for
participant training. The new CETA regulations require us to spend
our training allocation by September 30, 1980. If we do not meet
our training expenditure requirements, the Department of Labor could
find us in non-compliance of our contractual obligations. While it
is not possible to predict exactly what penalty would be imposed on
the City, it is lil.:ely that a corresponding reduction in funding for
next year would result. Another possibility is that DOL might
insist on a partial deobligation of FY '80 funds which could produce
a liability to the City's regular budget.
The Training Section is currently negotiating with Garces Commercial
College for additional training services to be provided for the
participants. Garces was selected for further negotiations because
of the following reasons:
1. Lowest unit cost among proposals.
2. Best facilities.
3. All facilities available in the afternoons.
4. Large variety of business courses available.
Beyond the contracts now pending before the City Commission and the
pending negotiations with Garces Commercial College, other components
of the training program are being developed. These include:
Departmental Programs: These programs are designed to
provide training in technical areas as they directly
relate to the participants' current job functions.
Programs currently being planned are 1) Landscape
Maintenance Procedures for the Parks Department;
2) Recreational Leadership Program for Leisure Services
Department; and 3) Series of seminars on physical and
emotional disabilities for the Handicapped Program.
In -House Programs: These programs would be conducted
by the Training Section and be general enough to be
applicable to a large percentage of the participants.

Examples of these are Basic Employability Skills -
World of Work; Remedial Skills; First Aid; English
as a Second Language; and Supervisory Skills.
Experimental Program: This program would involve
approximately (20) Title IID participants with
limited command of English, little or no employable
skills and a desire to be employed in clerical jobs.
These participants would undergo an initial inten-
sive training program of approximately 20 weeks
prior to being placed with the employing department.
For your additional information, I am attaching a copy of the report
completed by Peter Liu on the evaluation of the training proposals
that were received.

F N :�'•1 Peter Liu I, ' REFERENCES
Training Officer
Federal Employment Division/ ENCLOSURES.
Human Resources Department
As a matter of record, I am detailing the events and considerations
which have led to the selection of various private institutions,
that will provide training for the City of Miami's CETA PSE partici-
pants. The selection procedure was designed to ensure absence of
subjectivity and bias.
Though not required by the Code (Section 16-20) of the City of Miami,
nor by South Florida Employment & Training Consortium policy, the
City of Miami issued a Public Notice advertisement in the Miami
Hearld (7 spots), the Miami Times (1 spot), and El Diario Las
Americas (7 spots), during the week of January 10 thru 17, 1980,
request4.�; in parties to submit proposals regarding their
areas of specialised vocational training. (Copy attached).
Institutions submitting proposals were Charron Williams College,
M.T.I., Garces Cummerci.al College, United Schools of America,
Datamerica Institute, E. Kaknics, Hostway Travel Agency, and America
Motorcycle i-iech anic School.
Due to the high number of variables expected to effect the selection
procedure, I developed a criteria on which the selection were to be
made. The criteria is as follows:
1. Location: Since, at this time, the City does not possess
the necessary facilities nor materials, the
institutions selected must be able to provide
all facilities and materials. Because of the
nature of this program, training facilities
must be centrally located to either the
participants work site or home address. Insti-
tutions must be .within City limits.
2. Academic: Institiutions must be licensed by the State of
Florida.
3. Regulations: Familiarity with and ability to abide and
follow CETA Policies and Procedures.
4. Start -Up: Minimum start-up time after contract accept-
ance without major disruptions or changes to
current status not to give idea of permanence.
CETA Training

5. Counselling: Must have Counselling Services and be made
available to the participants.
6. Placement: Must have Placement Services and be made
available to the participants.
7. Cost: Should be compatible, with other institutions
offering similar types of services.
8. Other: Other matters affecting decision.
Based on this criteria, follow-up visits were made to those institu-
tions submitting proposals, with exception of the following:
E. Kaknics - Private individual
Hostway Travel Agency - No demonstrated need
America Motorcycle Mechanic School - No demonstrated need
Institutions visited were:
Charron Williams College - February 2, 1980
255 SW 8 Street, Miami, Florida
I. Goldstein, S. Ben, P. Liu
During the visit to Charron Williams College, I had the opportunity
to tour the facilities, including sitting -in on two (2) English as
Second Lan-ua"e classes. Charron Williams College is currently
under contract with the City of Hialeah for similar services. The
facilities and instructed materials are ample. Satisfactory coun-
selling and placement services. E.S.L. levels and styles are
acceptable. Admin'strative staff seems adequate to provide reports
required. Centrally located, within the City limits. Ability to
cater to e�:elusive groups of CETA participants.
Garces Commercial College - February 7, 1980
1301 SW I S treat , Atiarli , Florida
A. De Pedro, J. Quinones, F. Rodriuez, P. Liu
Centrally located, within City liLHts, excellent facilities. No
previous CETA experience. Does not have an assessment program to
determine level. Presented Geist Picture Interest Inventory as
assessment test. Not knowledgeable on their placement program,
E.S.L. program unaccepr_able. Typirr, acceptable.

M. Berkson, A. Willens, P. Liu
Not centrally located (79th Street & Biscayne Blvd.). Second floor
buildin , only tro existing classrooms, one office, and an empty
room. Total enrollment: 45. At present, providing only English as
Second Lan'guage. Other facilities, such as typewriters, tables,
chairs, etc., would have to be rented/leased. For centrally located
trainin facility, would have to rent/lease.
In comparing the information gained on the various institutions with
the criteria the following recommendations were made:
UNITED SCHOOL OF V-IERICA: Not suitable at this time. Outside the
City limits; thot:;h private bus services available, too much time
spent for travel. Similar services available within City.
11.T.I.: Not suitable at this time. .:ot centrally located, within
City limits. Public bus service would take about 1'- hours round
trip. (Not suitable for large Croup). l•Jould have to rent or lease
central facilities, for larger group -contract period only 20 weeks.
Have no materials, equipment for immediate start-up. Similar
services available, less start-up time.

GARCES CO%,NERCIAL COLLEGE: All facilities are available during

and ability for quick start-up, C.W.C. to be used for E.S.L.,
Typing/Clerical groups Title IID only. 2 days x 6 hrs./day x 20
weeks. 82 participants.
OTHER: Since this will be the City of i'.iami's first experience
in contracting for professional services of this type, a number of
institutions are being recommended for portions of the training
program as opposed to any one institution.
In addition, the short contract period, would provide added experi-
ence in determining the quality of servicos available with the
City, from different institutions. This information would invalu-
able for future contractin
Prior to my er.:ployment with the City of i`iarai, (January 21, 1930) ,
I was not familiar Faith, nor was I ever associated with any of the
administrators/officers of the institutions mentioned in this

"Does the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium require,
as part of its policies and procedures, or as a requirement of the
Departrent of Labor, competitive bids related to the contracting
for training programs between the City of Niami and the training
instituticn(s) when using CET; funds?"

inquiries r-2,arding tn, question to the SFETC Finance Division, provided the
response that ;mile no competitive biding is required in the area of the
question, local practices regarding such bidding should be followed.
Since th intent of competitive bidding is to acquire the best possible program

recommended.

you like best.

occupations, hohbirs, or objects. Look at each set of three picture: and read the question below the pictures.
Decide which of the three pictures you like best as an answer to the question and circle that picture. The set of
pictures below is a sample of what. you will see and do when you turn the page. If you would best like to earn
a living doing the work shown in the middle picture, you would circle that picture as shown in the example.
