RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with Freeway Chevron to increase the aggregate limit by
$16,000 for purchase of gasoline under the Workforce Investment Act Client
Voucher Policy.
DISCUSSION
For the past six years, the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center has had an agreement
with Freeway Chevron, located at 400 E. l7th Street, to participate in a
gasoline voucher program for Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Federal
Empowerment Zone (FEZ) and Special Project clients. This program allows
eligible participants to obtain a $12 voucher to purchase gasoline at
market rates from Freeway Chevron. These vouchers are part of the
supporti ve services offered to participants to allow them to find and
retain employment. The arrangement was made with Freeway Chevron because
of the close proximity to the W/O/R/K Center and its willingness to
participate in the program.
With the current economic environment and the rapid increase in the cost
of gasoline, there has been a large increase in gas voucher distribution.
As a result, the $22,000 vendor payment maximum was reached in November.
Staff recommends that the contract with Freeway Chevron be amended in
order to continue these necessary supportive services to eligible
participants until the new gas card program is approved and implemented.
The voucher program with Freeway Chevron will be phased out through
January 2005.
