Referring to page 10 Geographic Service Areas Are bidders/agencies require to have a center in a designated geographic area to be considered for funding in that area?
Yes. ACWIB will recommend funding awards based on geographic distribution (see page 10 and 18 of proposal packet). ACWIB and Youth Policy Council Members recommended that bidders must either have a center or be willing to locate to a geographic area to be considered for funding in that area. Services must be easily accessible to youth closest to their homes. Q7: Youth Services Design Elements/Requirements-page 10. Please explain asterisk** A: Asterisks refers to chart on top of page 10. Under the geographic area of Eden, provision of services to youth in a municipal/township i.e., Castro Valley, Ashland and Cherryland Districts are service areas to be served as well. This is a local WIB requirement. Respondents to RFPs are not required to designate number of youth to be served, but must ensure that their services will be extended to those unincorporated areas.
