Please note that a submittal of the required document(s) does not constitute approval by DOL/ETA. A grant modification will need to be submitted and final approval must be given by the Grant Officer (GO). Your Federal Project Officer (FPO) will review the documentation and then submit it to the GO for formal approval as a modification to the grant agreement. Once approved, the revised document(s) will comprise the official modification to this grant agreement and the special conditions will be resolved. Any questions related to the below items must be submitted to your FPO. Responses to requests for clarification and modification must be submitted to your FPO within 30 days of receipt of this grant award package. Condition 1— Budget The grantee must submit a budget modification request which includes a completed SF - 424A and Budget Narrative which aligns with the total on the SF -424. The Budget Narrative must address and break down the entirety of each line reflected on the SF -424A as outlined on pgs. 26-28 of the Funding Opportunity Announcement. The Budget Narrative must also contain costs per entry in each category which add up to the indicated line item total with enough information to ascertain whether the represented totals are mathematically accurate. Specifically, the Budget Narrative must clarify the following: • Personnel: calculations within the Budget Narrative add up to the total line item RESPONSE TO PROGRAM COMPLIANCE REVIEW After receipt of this award, DOL/ETA staff will perform a program compliance review to help ensure the programmatic aspects of the grant projects are in compliance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

After the review, if there are any required actions needed, DOL/ETA will transmit the results of the compliance review as condition(s) of award in a separate document, and provide instructions on what is necessary for resolution. WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 2 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B PROGRAM COMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION LETTER H -1B One Workforce Grant Program Dear City and County of Denver: Congratulations on your award! You are receiving this Program Compliance Notification Letter, which outlines the programmatic compliance requirements for your H -1B One Workforce Grant, and directs grantees on how to ensure adherence to these requirements. The Authorized Representative (indicated on the SF -424) is responsible for ensuring compliance with ALL aspects of the grant award. This Program Compliance Notification Letter provides information on the following: • Key required activities that all grantees must ensure are incorporated into their grant; • Key H-1 B grant policies; • Key activities or costs that are not allowable; • Links to existing grantee guidance (e.g., Frequently Asked Questions, and administrative/financial trainings); and • Performance reporting guidance on grantees' proposed target outcomes for the H -1B performance outcome measures and reporting mechanisms. The below list includes key areas to note for programmatic compliance. This list is not exhaustive and grantees should refer to the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for a complete list of programmatic compliance requirements for this grant program. Required Action by Grantee: If there are specific programmatic compliance issues with any of the sections below that must be addressed, they will be reflected in the Conditions of Award document that the Grant Officer will send in the coming weeks. No additional action is required at this time. Participant Eligibility Participants must be unemployed, underemployed, or incumbent workers as defined in the FOA. The FOA also requires that "Eligible participants served through this grant program must be at least 17 years old and not currently enrolled in secondary school within a local educational agency." Therefore, H -1B participants must be 17 years of age or older and not currently enrolled in secondary school (high school). Individuals who are age 17 or older and have dropped out of secondary school, or who are attending post -secondary school may be served by the grant. Use of Grant Funds for Supportive Services Grantees may use up to 10 percent of grant funds to provide supportive services to individuals who are participating in education and training activities provided through the grant. Under this grant program, supportive services for training participants include, but are not limited to, services such as transportation, childcare, dependent care, housing, and needs -related payments that are necessary to enable an individual to participate in education and training activities funded through this grant. Grantees may provide supportive services in various ways, including WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 3 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B providing the supportive service itself (e.g., childcare); providing participants with a voucher for the service (e.g., public transportation cards or tokens); or providing a stipend directly to the participant. Where stipends for supportive services are provided, the stipend amount must be for costs of a specific supportive service (e.g., childcare), rather than simply based on an unidentified need. For the purposes of this FOA, grantees may use grant funds up to the percentage specified above, to provide supportive services only to individuals who are participating in education and training activities provided through the grant, and only when: (1) they are unable to obtain such services through other programs; and (2) such services are necessary to enable individuals to participate in education and training activities under the grant. Use of Grant Funds for Paid Work based Learning Components A. On -the Job Training (OJT): Under this grant, OJT is available only for unemployed and underemployed individuals. Incumbent workers are not eligible for OJT under this FOA and grantees are specifically prohibited from spending grant funds on payment of wages of incumbent workers. OJT is provided under a contract with an employer in the public, private -nonprofit, or private sector. Under the OJT contract, the employer pays wages to the participant, and occupational training is provided for the participant in exchange for the reimbursement to the employer of a percentage of the participant's wage rate to compensate for the employer's extraordinary costs of training the individual. See Section IV.E.3.a. of the FOA for additional information. B. Apprenticeships: Organizations may use grant funds awarded under this FOA only to reimburse a portion of the apprentice's work -based learning costs for small employers (50 or fewer employees). For those businesses that have more than 50 employees, grant funds may not be used to reimburse work -based learning costs. C. Work Experience and Internships: Work experience and internships are defined as a planned, structured learning experience that takes place in a workplace for a limited period and, for the purposes of this grants under this FOA, must be paid. D. Incumbent Worker Salaries: For applicants that are serving incumbent workers, incumbent worker salaries paid by the employer are NOT allowable costs to be reimbursed under this grant. Performance Requirements Grantees are required to adhere to OMB -approved performance reporting requirements. Performance reporting for these grants aligns with the DOL-Only Performance Accountability Information and Reporting System (OMB Control No. 1205-0521) information collection request, specifically the requirements identified for apprenticeship grants data reporting into via the Workforce Integrated Performance System (WIPS). As part of quarterly performance reporting, DOL requires grant recipients to conduct data validation to ensure the validity of data submitted to DOL (see TEGL-23-19 WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 4 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr doc.cfm?DOCN=9155). See the table below for links to OMB performance requirements. Each grantee is accountable for reaching their proposed performance targets for the performance outcome measures specified in the FOA. Failure to meet those outcomes may result in technical assistance or other intervention by ETA, and may also have a significant impact on decisions about future grants with ETA. During the first quarter of your grant, the ETA Office of Workforce Investment, Division of Strategic Investments (Program Office) will review the proposed performance targets and follow-up to determine if there are any areas of concern. • Performance related issues may include resolving mathematical errors, discrepancies between outcomes reported in the project narrative and required performance outcome tables, or performance outcomes that are not internally logical (e.g., outcomes include more participants who complete training than participants who start training). If there are any areas of concern, the Program Office and Federal Project Officer (FPO) will meet with the grantee to discuss and outline steps to resolve any issues. Participate in a National Evaluation As a condition of grant award, grantees are required to participate in a national evaluation, if undertaken by DOL. The evaluation may include an implementation assessment across grantees, an impact and/or outcomes analysis of all or selected sites within or across grantees, and a benefit/cost analysis or assessment of return on investment. Conducting an impact analysis could involve random assignment (which involves random assignment of eligible participants into a treatment group that would receive program services or enhanced program services, or into control group(s) that would receive no program services or program services that are not enhanced). See Section VI.B.4.a. of the FOA for more information. PrimaryPoint of Contact Your FPO is the primary point of contact throughout the period of performance of your grant. Please work with your FPO to resolve any compliance items or questions related to this Program Compliance Notification Letter.

Order of Precedence In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Notice of Award (NOA) and other requirements, the following order of precedence shall apply: I. Section 414(c) of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1988 (ACWIA), as amended (codified at 29 U.S.C. 3224a). II. Other applicable Federal statutes. III. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) dated December 27, 2020. IV. Implementing Regulations. V. Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda. VI. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance, including the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200 and 2900. VII. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)/Employement and Training Administation (ETA) Directives. VIII. Terms and conditions of this award. 2. Notice of Award The funds shall be obligated and allocated via a NOA grant modification. These obligations and expenditures may not exceed the amount awarded by the NOA modification unless otherwise modified by the ETA. 3. Funding Opportunity Announcement for Discretionary Awards The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and any amendments found at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/grants/pdfs/H- 1 B OneWorkforceGrantProgramFOA-ETA-20-13.pdf and https://edit.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/grants/H- 1 B%20One Workforce Amendment One.pdf? ga=2.8573685.195584248.1610396930- 383084881.1580393209 are hereby incorporated into this NOA. Award recipients are bound by the authorizations, restrictions, and requirements contained in the FOA. Therefore, the expenditure of grant funds by the award recipient certifies that your organization has read and will comply with all the parts that are contained in the NOA. 4. Federal Project Officer The DOL/ETA Federal Project Officer (FPO) for this award is: Name: Edgar Garcia Telephone: 972-850-4650 E-mail: Garcia.edgar@dol.gov The FPO is not authorized to change any of the terms or conditions of the award, or approve prior approval requests.

WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 10 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B 5. Indirect Cost Rate and Cost Allocation Plan Indirect (facilities & administrative (F&A)) costs means those costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. Direct costs, by contrast, can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective, such as a Federal award, or other internally or externally funded activity, or that can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Identification with the Federal award rather than the nature of the goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect (F&A) costs of Federal awards. If the DOL serves as the Federal Cognizant Agency (FCA) for the grant award recipient, then the grantee must work with DOL's Division of Cost Determination (DCD), which has delegated authority to negotiate and issue a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) or Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) on behalf of the Federal Government. More information about the DOL's DCD is available at http://www.dol.gov/oasam/boc/dcd/. This website has guidelines to develop indirect cost rates, links to the applicable cost principles, and contact information. The DCD also has Frequently Asked Questions to provide general information about the indirect cost rate approval process and due dates for provisional and final indirect cost rate proposals at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/centers-offices/office-of-the-senior-procurement- executive/cost-price-determination-division/fag. If a new NICRA is issued during the grant's period of performance, it must be provided to DOL within 30 days of issuance. Funds may be re -budgeted as necessary between direct cost categories as long as it is consistent with the Budget Flexibility term within this agreement, grant requirements, and DOL regulations on prior approval. However, the total amount of the grant award will not be increased. A. A federally approved NICRA or federally approved CAP covering a portion of the grant period of performance is attached. Regarding only the NICRA: (1) Indirect Rate approved: (see attached) (2) Type of Indirect Cost Rate: (see attached) (i.e. Provisional/Predetermined/ Fixed) (3) Allocation Distribution Base: (see attached) (4) Current beginning and ending period applicable to rate: (see attached) Estimated Indirect Costs are shown on the SF -424A budget form. B. (1) The provided NICRA or CAP approved by the FCA does not cover a portion of the period of performance, or (2) Indirect costs are being claimed on the SF -424A, however an indirect cost rate proposal or CAP has not yet been submitted for approval to the FCA. WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 11 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B URGENT NOTICE: Estimated indirect costs have been specified on the SF - 424A, Section B, Object Class Category "j", however only $N/A will be released to support the indirect costs in the absence of a NICRA or CAP approved by the FCA. The remaining funds which have been awarded for Indirect Costs are restricted and may not be used for any purpose until the recipient provides a signed copy of the NICRA or CAP and receive documentation stating that the restriction is lifted by the Grant Officer. Upon receipt of the NICRA or CAP, the Grant Officer will issue a grant modification to the award to remove the restriction on those funds. As the grant award recipient, the grantee must submit an indirect cost rate proposal or CAP. If the FCA for indirect costs is DOL, these documents should be submitted to the DOL's Division of Cost Determination (DCD) (see http://www.dol.gov/oasam/boc/dcdf). Otherwise, they should be submitted to the grant award recipient's FCA. Alternatively, the grantee may request the de minimis rate if eligible (see section D. below). In addition, the recipient must notify the FPO that the documents have been submitted to the appropriate FCA. If the grant recipient does not submit a NICRA proposal within 90 days of award, they will be limited to the de minimis rate of 10% of Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). See section D. below for more details and definitions. C. The grant award recipient elected to exclude indirect costs from the proposed budget. Please be aware that incurred indirect costs (such as top management salaries, financial oversight, human resources, payroll, personnel, auditing costs, accounting and legal, etc. used for the general oversight and administration of the organization) must not be classified as direct costs; these types of costs are indirect costs. Only direct costs, as defined by the applicable cost principles, will be charged. According to 2 CFR 200.412, if indirect costs are misclassified as direct costs, such costs may become disallowed through an audit. ...X D. The grant award recipient does not have a current negotiated (including provisional) rate and elects to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC) as defined in 2 CFR 200.1, which may be used indefinitely. A governmental department or agency unit that receives more than $35 million in direct Federal funding must submit its indirect cost rate proposal to its cognizant agency for indirect costs and cannot request a de minimis rate. This methodology must be used consistently for all Federal grant awards until such time as the grant award recipient chooses to negotiate for an indirect cost rate, which the grantee may apply to do at any time. See 2 CFR 200.414(f) for more information on use of the de minimis rate. Please be aware that incurred indirect type costs (such as top management salaries, financial oversight, human resources, payroll, personnel, auditing costs, accounting and legal, etc. used for the general oversight and administration of the organization) must not be classified as direct costs; these types of costs are recovered as part of charging the de minimis rate.

If a grant recipient has a NICRA and a CAP, only the indirect costs tied to the NICRA are reported on the ETA -9130 Form. The grantee can refer to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 20-19 and https://www.doleta.gov/grants/pdf/ETA-9 ants/pdf/ETA-9130 Financial Reporting Resources.pdf for additional guidance. 6. Approved Statement of Work This project's narrative is the approved SOW. It has been included as Attachment D. If there is any inconsistency between the project narrative and the program statute, appropriation, regulations, Executive Orders, Uniform Guidance, OMB Circulars, and DOL/ETA directives, the order of precedence (as described in Section 1. above) will prevail. 7. Approved Budget The grant award recipient's budget documents are attached in this NOA. The documents are: 1) the SF -424, included as Attachment A; 2) the SF -424 A, included as Attachment B; and 3) the Budget Narrative, included as Attachment C. As the grant award recipient, the grantee must confirm that all costs are allowable before creating any expenses. Pursuant to 2 CFR 2900.1, the approval of the budget as awarded does not constitute prior approval of those items specified in 2 CFR 200 or as a part of the grant award as requiring prior approval. The Grant Officer is the only official with the authority to provide such approval. Any changes to the budget that impact the Statement of Work (SOW) and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables will require a request for modification and prior approval from the Grant Officer. 8. Return of Funds DOL/ETA does not accept paper checks for any type of returned funds. For active grants, all returns of funds are to be submitted electronically through the PMS operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via the same method as a drawdown. For grants that have been cancelled or are expired (typically older than five years), incoming payments, including returns and recoveries to DOL, must be made via the Pay.gov website (https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/ 177233981). If there are questions regarding the return of funds or your organization no longer has access to PMS, contact the DOL, ETA, Office of Financial Administration via email at: ETA-ARteamgdol.gov for further assistance. 9. Evaluation, Data, and Implementation As the grant award recipient, the grantee must cooperate during the implementation of a third -party evaluation. This means providing DOL or its authorized contractor with the WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 13 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B appropriate data and access to program operating personnel and participants in a timely manner. a. Budget Flexibility Federal recipients are not permitted to make transfers that would cause any funds to be used for purposes other than those consistent with this Federal program. Any budget changes that impact the SOW and agreed upon outcomes or deliverables require a request for modification and approval from the Grant Officer. As directed in 2 CFR 200.308(e), for programs where the Federal share is over the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) (currently $250,000), the transfer of funds among direct cost categories or programs, functions, and activities is restricted such that if the cumulative amount of such transfers exceeds or is expected to exceed 10% of the total budget as last approved by the Federal awarding agency, the recipient must receive prior approval from the Grant Officer. Any changes within a specific cost category on the SF424(a) do not require a grant modification unless the change results in a cumulative transfer among direct cost categories exceeding 10% of total budget. It is recommended that the assigned FPO review any within -line changes to the grant award recepient's budget prior to implementation to ensure they do not require a modification. For programs where the Federal share of the project is below the SAT of $250,000, recipients are not required to obtain the Grant Officer's approval when transferring funds among direct cost categories. b. Consultants For the purposes of this grant award, the ETA's Grant Officer has determined that fees paid to a consultant who provides services under a program shall be limited to $750.00 a day (representing an eight -hour workday). Such costs must be reasonable, allocable and allowable to the program. Any fees paid in excess of this amount cannot be paid without prior approval from the Grant Officer. c. Non -Federal Share (Match or Cost Share) This grant award does not include a match requirement. d. Travel This award waives the prior approval requirement for domestic travel as contained in 2 CFR 200.475. For domestic travel to be an allowable cost, it must be necessary, reasonable, allocable and conform to the non -Federal entities written policies and procedures. All travel must also comply with Fly America Act (49 USC 40118), which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price, must be performed by, or under a code -sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier if service provided by such carrier is available.

Travel — Foreign Foreign travel is not allowable except with prior written approval from the Grant Officer through the process described in 2 CFR 200.407 and 2 CFR 2900.16. All travel, both domestic and Grant Officer approved foreign travel, must comply with the Fly America Act (49 USC 40118), which states in part that any air transportation, regardless of price, must be performed by, or under a code -sharing arrangement with, a U.S. Flag air carrier if service provided by such carrier is available. f. Travel — Mileage Reimbursement Rates Pursuant to 2 CFR 200.475(a), all award recipients must have policies and procedures in place related to travel costs; however, for reimbursement on a mileage basis, this Federal grant award cannot be charged more than the maximum allowable mileage reimbursement rates for Federal employees. Mileage rates must be checked annually at www.gsa.gov/mileage to ensure compliance. 10. Administrative Requirements a. Audits Organization -wide or program -specific audits must be performed in accordance with Subpart F, the Audit Requirements of the Uniform Guidance. DOL awards recipients that expend $750,000 or more in a year from any Federal awards must have an audit conducted for that year in accordance with the requirements contained in 2 CFR 200.501. OMB's approved exception at 2 CFR 2900.2 expands the definition of `non -Federal entity' to include for-profit entities and foreign entities. As such, for-profit and foreign entities that are recipients or subrecipients of a DOL award must adhere to the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200, including Subpart F. Those audits must be submitted directly to USDOL-OGM, Attention: Audit Resolution Team. b. Revisions to the Uniform Guidance The Office of Management and Budget issued revisions to 2 CFR, 25, 170, 183, and 200 (the Uniform Guidance) on August 13, 2020. These revisions became effective November 12, 2020, except for the amendments to §§ 200.216 and 200.340, which were immediately effective on August 13, 2020. The grant award recipient must operate in compliance with these revised regulations. Please note that the section numbering in the Uniform Guidance has changed in some instances, and this Terms & Conditions document has been updated accordingly. c. Changes in Micro -purchase and Simplified Acquisition Thresholds OMB's memorandum M-18-18, issued on June 20, 2018, increased the threshold for micro -purchases under Federal financial assistance awards from $3,500 to $10,000 and the threshold for simplified acquisitions under Federal financial assistance awards from $100,000 to $250,000. These two threshold increases were effective for all of ETA's grant recipients as of October 1, 2018. All ETA grant recipients should carefully review the above -referenced memorandum and make any necessary updates to their financial WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 15 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B and administrative policies, procedures, and systems as a result of these threshold increases. d. Closeout/Final Year Requirements At the end of the grant period, the award recipient will be required to close the grant with the ETA. The grant recipient will be notified approximately 15 days prior to the end of the period of performance that the closeout process will begin when the period of performance ends. See https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/grants/management/closeout for further information on the closeout process. The recipient's responsibilities at closeout may be found at 2 CFR 200.344. During the closeout process, the grant recipient must be able to provide documentation for all direct and indirect costs that are incurred. For instance, if an organization is claiming indirect costs, the required documentation is a NICRA or CAP issued by the grantee's FCA. For those approved to utilize a de minimis rate for indirect costs, the grant agreement is sufficient documentation. Not having documentation for direct or indirect costs will result in costs being disallowed and subject to debt collection. The only liquidation that can occur during closeout is the liquidation of accrued expenditures (NOT obligations) for goods and/or services received during the grant period (2 CFR 2900.15). e. Open Licensing As required at 2 CFR 2900.13, any intellectual property developed under a discretionary Federal award process must be licensed under an open license, which allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted work and attribute the work in the manner specified by the recipient. f. Equipment The grant award recipient(s) must receive prior approval from the Grant Officer to purchase any equipment as defined in the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.1. Prior approval is required only when the acquisition cost is $5,000 or more regardless of the non -Federal entity's capitalization threshold. Equipment purchases must be made in accordance with 2 CFR 200.313 or 2 CFR 200.439. Being awarded this grant does not automatically mean that the equipment specified in the approved budget or SOW is approved by the Grant Officer. If not specified above, the recipient must submit a detailed list describing the purchase to the FPO for review within 90 days of the NOA date. The recepients are strongly encouraged to submit requests for equipment purchase as early as possible in the grant's period of performance with as many planned pieces of equipment as possible. Recipients may not purchase equipment during the last year of the period of performance or the last year of full program service delivery (not follow up activities), whichever comes first. If any approved acquisition has not occurred prior to the last funded year of performance, approval for that item is rescinded.

Pre -Award All costs incurred by the award recipient prior to the start date specified in the grant award issued by the Department are incurred at the recipient's own expense. j. Procurement The Uniform Guidance Procurement Standards at 2 CFR 200.318-327 require all grant award recipients and subrecipients to conduct procurement transactions in a manner that promote practical, open, and free competition. The award recipient's description in the SOW of a specific entity that will provide goods or services does not constitute approval or justification of sole -source procurement from this entity. The Uniform Guidance (at 2 CFR 200.317) requires States (as defined at 2 CFR 200.1) to follow the same procurement policies and procedures it uses for non -Federal funds.

In addition, the grant award recipient(s) must report program income on the quarterly financial report using ETA -9130 form. 1. Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters 1. If the total value of the currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of this Federal award, then the grant award recipient during that period of time must maintain the currency of information reported to the System for Award Management (SAM) that is made available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings described in Paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under Section 872 of Public Law 110- 417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by Section 3010 of Public Law 111- 212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available. 2. Proceedings about which the grant recipient must report. Submit the information required about each proceeding that: a. Is in connection with the award or performance of a grant, cooperative agreement, or procurement contract from the Federal Government; b. Reached its final disposition during the most recent 5 -year period; and WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 20 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AFOD5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B c.

A civil proceeding that resulted in a finding of fault and liability and paying a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more; III. An administrative proceeding, as defined in Paragraph 5. of this award term, that resulted in a finding of fault and liability and grantee payment of either monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or more or a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000; or IV. Any other criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding if: (A) It could have led to an outcome described in Paragraph 2.c.I, II, or III of this award term; (B) It had a different disposition arrived at by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault on the grantee's part; and (C) The requirement in this award term to disclose information about the proceeding does not conflict with applicable laws and regulations. 3. Reporting procedures. Enter in SAM, Entity Management area (formerly CCR), or any successor system, the FAPIIS information that SAM requires about each proceeding described in Paragraph 2. of this award term. The grant award recipient does not need to submit the information a second time under assistance awards that were received if the recipient already provided the information through SAM (formerly CCR) because the recipient was required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that the recipient was awarded. 4. Reporting frequency. During any period of time when the grant award recipient is a subject to the requirement in paragraph 1. of this award term, the grantee must report FAPIIS information through SAM no less frequently than semiannually following the initial report of any proceedings for the most recent 5 -year period, either to report new information about any proceeding(s) that the grantee has not reported previously or affirm that there is no new information to report. 5. Definitions. For purposes of this award term: a. Administrative proceeding means a non judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., SEC Administrative proceedings, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals proceedings).

Only the Federal share of the funding under any award with a recipient cost share or match; and II. The value of all options, even if not yet exercised. m. Reports All ETA grant award recipients are required to submit quarterly financial and narrative progress reports for each grant award. a. Quarterly Financial Reports. All ETA grant award recipients are required to report quarterly financial data on the ETA -9130 Form. ETA -9130 reports are due no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each specified reporting quarter. Reporting quarter end dates are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. A final financial report must be submitted no later than 45 calendar days after the quarter ends and the closeout 9130 report must be submitted no later than 90 calendar days after the grant period of performance ends. A closeout report will be submitted during the closeout process. For additional guidance on ETA's financial reporting, reference TEGL 20-19 and https://www.doleta.gov/grants/pdf/ETA- 9130 ants/pdf/ETA- 9130FinancialReporting Resources.pdf The it tructions for accessing both the online financial reporting system and the HHS PMS can be found in the transmittal memo accompanying this NOA. b. Quarterly Narrative Progress Reports. Grant recipients are required to submit a narrative quarterly and final report on grant activities funded under this award. All reports are due no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each specified reporting quarter. Reporting quarter end dates are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. 1. The last quarterly progress report that award recipients submit will serve as the grant's Final Performance Report. This report should provide both quarterly and cumulative information on the grant's activities. It must summarize project activities, employment outcomes and other deliverables, and related results of the project. 2. The grant award recipient shall use any standard forms and instructions to report on training and employment outcomes and other data relating to the progress reports as provided by ETA. 3. The grant award recipient shall utilize standard reporting processes and electronic reporting systems to submit their quarterly progress reports as provided by ETA. n. Requirements for Conference and Conference Space Conferences sponsored in whole or in part by the grant award recipient are allowable if the conference is necessary and reasonable for the successful performance of the Federal Award. The grant award recipients are urged to use discretion and good judgment to WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 22 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B ensure that all conference costs charged to the grant are appropriate and allowable. For more information on the requirements and the allowability of costs associated with conferences, refer to 2 CFR 200.432. Recipients will be held accountable to the requirements in 2 CFR 200.432. Therefore, costs that do not comply with 2 CFR 200.432 will be questioned and may be disallowed. o. Subawards A subaward means an award provided by a Pass -Through Entity (PTE) to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the PTE. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the PTE considers a contract. The provisions of the Terms and Conditions of this award will be applied to any subrecipient under this award. The recipient is responsible for monitoring the subrecipient, ensuring that the Terms and Conditions are in all subaward packages and that the subrecipient complies with all applicable regulations and the Terms and Conditions of this award (2 CFR 200.101(b)). p. Supportive Services & Participant Support Costs When supportive services are expressly authorized by a program statute, regulation, or FOA, this award waives the prior approval requirement for participant support costs as described in 2 CFR 200.456. Costs must still meet the basic considerations at 2 CFR 200.402 - 200.411. Questions regarding supportive services and participant support costs should be directed to the FPO who is assigned to the grant. q. System for Award Management (SAM) SAM is the official federal system that collects, validates, stores, and disseminates business information about the federal government's trading partners in support of contract awards, grants, and electronic payment processes. A SAM registration is required for an entity to be able to apply for federal grants, to request modifications to existing grants, and to enable them to closeout expiring grants. See Training and Employment Notice 18-17 for additional guidance. Unless the grant award recipient is exempt from this requirement under 2 CFR 25.110, the grantee must maintain the currency of its information in the SAM until the grantee submits the final financial report required under this grant award or receive the final payment, whichever is later. This requires that the grantee review and update the information at least annually after the initial registration, and more frequently if required by changes in its information or another award term. 1. Unique Entity Identifier Requirements If the grant award recipient is authorized to make subawards under this award, then the grantee: WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 23 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B i. Must notify potential subrecipients that no entity (see definitions below) may receive a subaward from the grant award recipient unless the entity has provided its unique entity identifier to the grantee. ii. May not make a subaward to an entity unless the entity has provided its unique entity identifier to the grantee. NOTE: At some point, the DUNS Number will be replaced by a new, non-proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. This new identifier is being called the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID. Users should continue using the DUNS Number in UEI fields until further notice. To learn more about SAM's rollout of the UEI, please visit gsa.gov/entityid. v/entityid. 2. Definitions For purposes of this award term: i. SAM is the Federal repository where the grant award recipients register to do business with the U.S. Government. Additional information about registration procedures may be found at the SAM website (http://www.sam.gov). ii. Unique entity identifier means the code that is unique to a registered entity in order to complete its registration on SAM. iii. Entity, as it is used in this grant award term, means all of the following, as defined at 2 CFR Part 25, Subpart C: a. A Governmental organization, which is a State, local government, or Indian Tribe; b. A foreign public entity; c. A domestic or foreign nonprofit organization; d. A domestic or foreign for-profit organization; and e. A Federal agency, but only as a subrecipient under an award or subaward to a non -Federal entity. iv. Subaward: a. This term means a legal instrument to provide support for the performance of any portion of the substantive project or program for which the grant award recipient received this award and that the grantee as the recipient award to an eligible subrecipient. b. The term does not include the grantee procurement of property and services needed to carry out the project or program (for further explanation, see 2 CFR 200.330). c. A subaward may be provided through any legal agreement, including an agreement that the grant award recipient considers a contract. v. Subrecipient means an entity that: a. Receives a subaward from the grantee under this grant award; and b. Is accountable to the grantee for the use of the Federal funds provided by the subaward. 3. Existing SAM Registrants ETA advises grant recipients registered in SAM to review their registration information, particularly their financial information and points of contact. Assistance is available by WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 24 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B contacting the Federal Service Desk at www.fsd.gov. Grant recipients should contact ETA at ETAAccountin Gg rantsAdol.gov if they find that payments have been paid to a bank account other than their registered bank account. ETA further encourages grant recipients to review the expiration date of their SAM registration and begin the renewal process well in advance, to ensure that their registration remains valid. If the grant recipient has not logged in and updated its entity registration record within at least the past 365 days, its record will expire and go into inactive status. Timely renewal will ensure that the grant recipient can continue to request and receive modifications to their existing grants, as well as apply for new funding opportunities. Further, the DUNS and EIN numbers must remain active until the grant award closeout process is fully completed. 4. Validation ETA routinely checks the validity of a grant recipient's SAM registration and verifies that the recipient isn't included on the excluded parties list before making a grant award, or approving a modification to an existing award. Failure to have an active SAM registration can delay grant recipients from receiving their initial award or requested modifications to their existing awards. r. Vendor/Contractor The term "contractor," sometimes referred to as a vendor, is a dealer, distributor, merchant or other seller providing goods or services that are required to implement a Federal program (see 2 CFR 200.1). These goods or services may be for an organization's own use or for the use of the beneficiaries of the Federal program. Additional guidance on distinguishing between a subrecipient and a contractor (vendor) is provided in 2 CFR 200.330.

Colorado is a national leader in emerging technology and innovation. In recent years, before COVID- 19, the state has experienced rapid economic growth and historically low unemployment, leading to significant skill shortages. COVID-19 led to disproportionate unemployment in industries related to retail and tourism and is highlighting skills gaps that existed before the pandemic. Denver Economic Development & Opportunity (DEDO) and its partners want to seize on this unprecedented opportunity to reskill and upskill Coloradans into high demand sectors that are fundamental to the state and national economies, while also ensuring individuals have access to career pathways that provide mobility in a post- COVID-19 world. DEDO's proposed Technology Employment in Colorado Partnership 2.0 (TEC-P 2.0) will develop the talent pipeline in information technology (IT), advanced manufacturing (AM) and transportation in alignment with middle- to high -skilled H-iB career pathways by building on past successes, innovative modes of training delivery, existing partnerships, and an innovative hub model that drives regional alignment across 10 of Colorado's central corridor counties and replication by Colorado's workforce system throughout the state. TEC-P 2.0 will leverage the success of the funded H -1B grant Technology Employment in Colorado Partnership (TEC-P) project, completed in 2019 and also led by DEDO (then Office of Economic Development). TEC-P transformed the way local workforce areas (local areas) align regional sector strategies in Colorado, creating sector initiatives within IT and AM, with an industry- and employer -driven approach to training and career pathway development. This led to employment for incumbent workers, the long-term unemployed and other unemployed individuals in middle- to high -skill jobs across these growing sectors. TEC-P 2.0 will build on this work by expanding training to a broader range of unemployed and underemployed individuals in IT and AM, enlarging the target geographic area and adding a new sector, WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 55 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B transportation —creating new sector partnerships and career pathways within that industry, which is expected to lead Colorado's economic recovery as the state strives to lead in aerospace. With TEC-P 2.0, Colorado will build and reskill a workforce that is mobile, responsive to changing business needs and is prepared for the future of work. Led by DEDO, TEC-P 2.0 brings together seven of Colorado's 10 federally recognized workforce development areas, serving 10 counties: Adams County Workforce and Business Center (Adams), Arapahoe Douglas Works! (Arapahoe, Douglas), Workforce Boulder County (Boulder), DEDO: Denver Workforce Services (Denver), Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development (Larimer), Jefferson County Business and Workforce Center (Jefferson, Clear Creek, Gilpin) and Employment Services of Weld County (Weld). This group largely represents the Colorado Central Planning Region (CCPR) for workforce development activities, along with Weld County. Colorado Urban Workforce Alliance (CUWA) is the third -party project facilitator of the innovative hub model. CUWA has facilitated collaboration across the workforce development system for over 18 years —over a decade before workforce system regionalization became law through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). TEC-P 2.0 will add to the employer and training partners within IT and AM and create new transportation sector partnerships to further Colorado's workforce system strategy to engage industry as a fulcrum in a demand -driven workforce system. . Demonstration of demand. Population, employment and businesses in Colorado are concentrated along the eastern slope, or Front Range, of the Rocky Mountains. Of the 5.7 million people in Colorado, over two-thirds of the population resides in the 10 northern Front Range counties that will be served by TEC-P 2.0. The CCPR accounts for 83% of WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 56 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B the state's gross regional product and nearly 80% of jobs.' Front Range businesses are also on the leading edge of technology advancement and innovation. For example, an emerging occupation —telecommunications engineering specialist —combines software development with mechanical engineering to create artificial intelligence components that drive the development of the "internet of things." TEC-P 2.0's business partners require employees with skill sets that transcend traditional occupational groupings or industries. As another example, Boulder has been named one of the most innovative metro areas in the country and is a top destination for entrepreneurs, having one of the highest ratios of patents applied for per capita.2 To meet the needs of businesses that are driving the nation's innovation, TEC-P 2.0's training programs will incorporate content that is needed by these emerging occupations within the targeted three H -1B industries (IT, AM and transportation). All training programs will result in workers skilled in a particular occupation along career pathways that lead to middle- to high -skilled occupations. In CCPR, the number of jobs grew by 24.3% between 2010 and 2019, with average annual earnings increasing by 25%.3 The table below is an illustrative example of occupational families that TEC-P 2.0 will prioritize and accounts for over 250,000 jobs added since 2010. a le riority ccupational amilies in olorado entral lannin e ion SOC Description 2010 Jobs 2019 Jobs Change Annual Growth Median Annual Wage 15 Comp. & Math. 77,636 118,720 41,084 4.80% $93,562 13 Bus. & Fin.

This includes those underrepresented in the industry sector. TEC-P 2.0 will include younger workers to build a mobile workforce equipped to adapt to the changing needs of business, industry and shifts in technology (described in more detail below). Veterans will also receive priority enrollment in TEC-P 2.0. The Front Range is recognized as "veteran friendly" because of "high concentrations of civilian employment in aerospace and homeland security" and the Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP) in Adams County.6 Licensed in 2018, CASP aims to become a major hub for commercial space transportation and research. Veterans have valuable skills, often have had security clearance, and are strong candidates for upskilling opportunities. Within CCPR, the unemployment rate in December 2019 was 2.2% (not seasonally adjusted), with about 50,000 people searching for jobs. The underemployment rate in this same time frame was an estimated 4.4%, with roughly 98,000 people underemployed. Until the economic crisis created by COVID-19, unemployment had been below 5% in Colorado since April 2014. These low rates created significant challenges for businesses trying to find enough skilled workers. a le nemployment or elect opulations olorado entral lannin e ion Population Est.

Recent reports suggest the economic impact of COVID- 19 is far from over, with 33,500 workers from small hospitality and retail businesses in the Denver area alone expected to lose jobs this winter.8 COVID-19 has exacerbated worker shortages in some sectors, while many are unemployed in other sectors. Of individuals registered in Connecting Colorado (Labor Exchange System of Record) on October 22, 2020, one-third had obtained an education level of bachelor's degree or above, with 56,700 (67%) holding an associate degree or lower. This is an opportunity to reskill the workforce to close the skills gap in the AM, IT and transportation sectors. There are large numbers of unemployed in typically low - skill jobs, such as food preparation, and with lower education levels. ii. Access for predominately unemployed and underemployed. DEDO and its partners will specifically recruit unemployed people to TEC-P 2.0 from industries that are no longer hiring. For example, within computer and mathematical occupations, there was a shortfall of over 15,000 jobs on October 22, 2020, compared with a surplus of over 7,000 workers in food preparation and serving related jobs.

At the peak of unemployment (May 16th) this group represented 18.6% of total unemployment insurance (UI) claims, compared with a 2019 weekly average of 5.2%.9 For all TEC-P 2.0 program participants, the primary focus will be on recruitment of participants to reskill or upskill to fill gaps in the talent pipeline within the IT, AM and transportation sectors. Sector strategy initiatives have established employer -driven career pathways with multiple on -ramps for all skill levels. Connecting the underemployed and unemployed to these career pathways directs them to the education and training providers that give them the best chance of employment through a direct pipeline to employers with work - based learning opportunities and guided curriculum. To supplement the emphasis on unemployed and underemployed, TEC-P 2.0 will upskill incumbent workers in instances when positions can be backfilled with unemployed or underemployed individuals. . 1. Participant outcomes. i. Coordinated outreach. To serve 750 participants and enroll 662 in training over the 48 -month project period, outreach and recruitment will be coordinated across partners using the foundation set by TEC-P and the hub model (described below). The website developed for TEC-P is still available, but it will be retooled to serve as the foundation for online communication with both job seekers and employers. This includes capability to post job openings and work experience opportunities, event information for potential participants or employers, and/or training options for potential participants. Online and printed marketing materials will be used across local areas, with consistent messaging and 9 Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Colorado Weekly Initial Claims WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 61 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B branding for TEC-P 2.0. Marketing messages will target unemployed or underemployed individuals seeking careers in AM, IT and transportation, including those who are considering reskilling, or younger workers searching for a promising career pathway. Local training providers with close ties to potential participants will be provided marketing materials as well, ensuring diverse populations receive information about the opportunities available. Unemployed individuals can be contacted through information in the Connecting Colorado database for proactive recruitment of individuals hurt by shifts in the labor market. Other outreach and recruitment may include: Meetup groups for unemployed workers or industry -specific topics, blogs, notifying former individuals receiving workforce services, radio advertisements, social media campaigns, referrals from training providers and referrals from community organizations. Recruitment for candidates to upskill employees will target businesses in the AM, IT and transportation sectors. Communication channels that currently exist within each local workforce area include local employers, training providers, chambers of commerce, economic development organizations and sector partnership members. These will be used to share upskilling opportunities including opportunities for veterans and incumbent workers. To ensure coordination, CUWA will facilitate the development of uniform screening criteria for all local areas. This will include consideration for eligibility and co -enrollment in WIOA and other programs, leveraging funds where possible. The screening criteria will supplement the tools and processes local areas have established for standard unemployment and supportive services operations. Once a prospective participant expresses interest, the local area partner will assess eligibility and suitability using this tool. A career specialist will be assigned and will meet — virtually or in person —with the potential participant. The initial screening assessment will include the identification of any barriers a participant may face to program completion, WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 62 of 97 02/01/2021-01131/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AFOD5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B employment retention or advancement. Initial intakes (upfront assessments), conducted by career specialists at local areas or through service providers, are comprehensive. They assess basic education and skill levels, aptitudes, interests and potential barriers, such as financial stress. Career specialists assess coaching and/or counseling needs and provide access to these resources. Participants will also receive access to wraparound supportive services based on individual needs. Local areas will provide stipends or vouchers for individuals for support such as housing, childcare, access to technology, dependent care and professional work clothing. Grant funds will only be used when an individual does not qualify for other resources. Whenever possible, co - enrollment and braided funding will be leveraged from human service programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Through the upfront assessment process, individuals are able to choose to reskill into the sector and career pathway of their choice within the priority sectors. Depending on skill level, more comprehensive assessment of an individual's skills gap may be required. For participants upskilling, basic skills or competencies for the target occupation and training program are identified through sector partnerships. These must be met prior to enrollment to ensure participants are adequately prepared and set up for success. Potential participants for incumbent worker training will go through the same process, with business services coordinators available to help with the outreach, recruitment and enrollment with employer partners. ii. How training employers needs. TEC-P 2.0 education and training activities will be driven by sector partnerships in AM, IT and transportation. Regional sector partnerships in AM and IT are well established and will be expanded during the grant period. Early transportation sector partnerships will be leveraged with new partnerships developed during the grant period. This process includes: generating a list of local employers to personally invite to participate; facilitating a WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 63 of 97 02/01/2021-01/3112025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B series of meetings to discuss challenges, skills and employee needs and to validate labor market data; and creating subcommittees responsible for driving the work on each priority. Each of the sector partnerships will develop consensus on goals and priorities, including training and education needs. The employers and training providers will then collaborate to refine existing training programs or create new programs. Training providers will ensure programs result in stackable and transferrable credentials for participants, while employers ensure their needs will be met, agreeing to a set of program outcomes. This collaborative work will result in demand - driven career pathways for TEC-P 2.0 participants. Sector partnerships will regularly adapt programs to changing economic conditions and evolving skill needs and ensure credentials are relevant and effective to meet business needs. iii. recognized postsecondary credentials. Participants in TEC-P 2.0 will receive credentials such as: Security IT Associate, CompTIA Security+ and A+, HUNT Analyst, Java, PMP/CAPM IT Project Manager, Cisco Certified Network Associate, IT Helpdesk Administrator, Scrum Master, AutoCAD, AWS SENSE certifications and apprenticeship certifications such as Mold Maker, Electronics Technician, Water Quality Management or Software Developer. Required and recognized credentials are at the intersection of priority sectors and in -demand skills. For example, Aurora Community College is collaborating with business partners such as Boeing through the Aerospace and Aviation Sector Partnership to expand certifications (e.g., JavaScript, C -Sharp) to help fill over 100 software developer positions within the aerospace company — filling both IT and transportation sector needs. Another illustrative example of post -secondary credentials that lead to middle- and high -skill jobs within TEC-P 2.0 is Emily Griffith Technical College's web development program. The program teaches object -oriented programming, multiplatform development and building web applications. After completion, participants are prepared for WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 64 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B potential career paths including web application developer, web designer, solutions architect, front-end developer and net developer —all H -1B occupations. All TEC-P 2.0 training programs result in the appropriate credentials for the industry and occupation, as formalized through sector partnerships. iv. Appropriate for target population. TEC-P 2.0 will serve unemployed and underemployed individuals at all skill levels who are looking to reskill or upskill into or within the three priority sectors, including younger workers and those impacted by the recent economic downturn. By using a career pathway system, participants will be able to upskill or reskill based on their personal background, skills, experience, competencies and interests. With on -ramps at every level, TEC-P 2.0's training and employment opportunities lead lower -skilled and younger workers to middle- and high -skill jobs within AM, IT and transportation. This customized approach allows career specialists and potential participants to assess gaps in skills and training, enrolling participants in the training programs that will fill these gaps and help individuals reach their employment goals. Local areas and business partners provide coaching, mentoring, soft - skills training and other services. The need for wraparound supportive services (described below) is also assessed during the initial intake process, and services are provided based on participants' needs, removing any additional barriers beyond skill or training gaps. TEC-P 2.0 will provide support to participants requiring access to technology for remote learning or working. v. Outcome projections. TEC-P 2.0 anticipates the following outcomes, which are realistic and feasible by using prior performance from TEC-P—the foundation of TEC-P 2.0. Total participants served: 750. Derived from actual performance and cost per participant of TEC-P, which served 674 participants at $9,158. Serving an additional 76 participants is realistic and feasible with the expansion into transportation and a wider geographic area. The timeline allows for scaling up and winding down: PY1: 105, PY2: 262, PY3: 278, PY4: 105 participants. Total WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 65 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-PC22-E6A8F0456B1B participants enrolled: 662. Derived from actual performance of TEC-P, with 90% of participants enrolled in education and training and the remaining 10% requiring case management and minimum employment support. The number of expected participants each year is as follows: PYI: 93, PY2: 225, PY3: 251, PY4: 93 enrolled in education/training. Total completing: 629. Derived from actual performance of TEC-P, with 95% of participants successfully completing training activities. Reflecting the number of expected enrollees each year: PY1: 88, PY2: 214, PY3: 239, PY4: 88 completing. Participants receiving credential: 450. Derived from WIOA adult credential attainment rate of 60%, which is realistic and feasible based on past performance of similar target populations and education/training programs. Reflecting the number of completers: PYI: 64, PY2: 152, PY3: 170, PY4: 64. Number unemployed/underemployed obtain employment: 472. Derived from actual performance of TEC-P, 75% of participants completing will be unemployed/underemployed. Reflecting the breakdown of completers: PY 1: 66, PY2: 160, PY3: 180, PY4: 66 obtaining employment. Number incumbent worker: 50. Derived from past projections (47) and actual performance (22) of TEC-P, which is realistic because of the expanded sectors and geographic scope of TEC-P 2.0. Employment O2 & O4 post -exit: 79.6% (Q2), 72.6% (Q4). Derived from WIOA adult employment rates for local areas and the state's past success in meeting performance outcomes. This is realistic and feasible based on the similarity of training programs, credential attainment, and the high -demand sectors for employment of TEC-P 2.0 participants. 2. One workforce program outputs. i. Proof of concept. TEC-P 2.0 expands and replicates the success of TEC-P and the hub model, providing further evidence that this model is appropriate, effective and efficient for aligning and delivering regional workforce solutions. The hub model was established by leveraging CU WA's long history of facilitation with TEC-P's innovative program implementation. The hub model creates WELD COUNTY/H-16/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 66 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B a workforce system that is highly responsive to changes in the economy or politics. A local workforce area serves as the lead fiscal agent (DEDO), with ultimate responsibility for program delivery and a project manager responsible for overseeing all aspects of the grant program. CUWA serves as a facilitator to oversee and monitor programmatic elements, with the CUWA director/facilitator responsible for convening program partners and monitoring overall program expenditures and outcomes, providing a real-time update at monthly meetings. Consisting of one representative (grant supervisor) from each local area, a monthly advisory group forms to share best practices, effective ways of reporting and collecting data, and operational issues. The advisory group creates shared goals, allowing uniformity in program implementation across regions. Each grant supervisor is responsible for coordinating fiscal requirements, procedural requirements, reporting, allowable expenditures and enrollment in the data system with local area staff. All partners meet once per year in person. To supplement grant activities, the CUWA director/facilitator also coordinates monthly meetings across partners for groups dedicated to operations, career services, data and reporting, and business services. For example, the business services group shares recruitment strategies for different industries. Monthly meetings provide feedback on the efficacy of the program so that improvements can be made right away and successful practices shared across partners. The initial success of this hub model has received national recognition; it was presented by invitation to the National Association of State Workforce Agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor. Since TEC-P, the hub model has been adopted by additional regional programs in Colorado, ranging from registered apprenticeship programs to federal National Emergency Grants. TEC-P 2.0 is an opportunity to further refine this model by creating new sector partnerships in transportation and expanding AM and IT to include a wider geographic scope and expanded target populations. TEC-P 2.0's success will be WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 67 of 97 02/0112021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AFOD5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B further evidence the model works at scale and can be replicated for additional industries, sector partnerships and the broader workforce system. ii. Sustainability. Sustainability of TEC-P 2.0 will occur through an iterative process that begins at the very beginning of implementation. The process of ongoing alignment among local areas, industry needs and labor market trends is embedded into the hub model. An important task will be documenting lessons learned and promising practices to share with all partners. These will be shared at the monthly meetings facilitated by CUWA. Practices that transcend TEC-P 2.0 will be formally documented as continuing practices for local areas and partners to adopt. These may include tools and resources, such as desk manuals for specific occupations or sectors, which can be regularly updated as regional trends change and shift. The hub model also relies on industry sector leaders as key contacts and leaders of sector partnerships. Employer engagement ensures buy -in and support in the workforce system beyond any single program. With sector leaders driving the strategy and priorities, business and training partners are incentivized to participate in the broader workforce development agenda. Partners share a common agenda —creating collective impact. To further support sustainability planning, representatives from local partners will continue to participate in and coordinate with related statewide and regional activities. . 1. Sector strategies and alignment. i. Previous strategy. TEC-P 2.0 builds on extensive sector strategy alignment and partnership work within local regions and the state. Five of the seven partner local areas participated in TEC-P. Each local area has also participated in or convened additional sector partnership strategies. Currently active, select experience includes: Tech Talent Denver Sector Partnership, Boulder IT Sector Partnership Group, Denver Metro Manufacturing Sector Partnership, NoCo [Northern Colorado] Manufacturing, Aerospace and Aviation Sector Partnership, NoCo Health, Greater Metro Denver Healthcare (Sector) Partnership. TEC-P 2.0 WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 68 of 97 0210112021-01/3112025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B partners have also leveraged sector strategies to develop registered apprenticeships, such as developing the first program for software development with Techtonic and establishing a program for circuit assemblers in partnership with Lockheed Martin. ii. WIOA Plan Alignment. Colorado's 2018 Combined State Plan sets the vision for the state workforce system "that every Colorado business has access to a skilled workforce and every Coloradan has access to meaningful employment, resulting in statewide economic vitality."10 A priority focus is to grow a middle class by connecting people to careers. TEC-P 2.0 can play a key role in achieving the state's workforce and talent pipeline goals in two areas. Goal 1: Engage business and industry as a fulcrum to inform and align all elements of the demand -driven system. Sector strategies are well established in AM and IT. This work expands with TEC-P 2.0 by linking current regional sector strategies together and providing an opportunity for these to grow in scope and wider business engagement. TEC-P 2.0 will also work with the transportation sector to establish a new sector partnership to coordinate and meet the needs of this emerging sector. Goal 2: Establish a customer -centric and holistic focus to increase coordination, effectiveness and access through shared data, tools and resources. TEC-P 2.0 expands coordination among workforce centers and further aligns services for businesses and job seekers in the priority sectors. TEC-P 2.0 also furthers the goals of Colorado's governor, who recently established the Office of Future Work to analyze changing technologies, skill needs and demographics, and make policy recommendations on addressing these challenges." 2.

TEC-P 2.0 leverages the Colorado workforce system's expertise in aligning programs and services with a regional approach. In Colorado, local workforce areas are locally run (by county) with unique operating policies, increasing the importance of regionalism. Using the hub model, DEDO will partner with CUWA to function as a neutral third -party facilitator. Under DEDO's direction, CUWA will help bring together and unite the local workforce areas to administer programs and services. This model allows regions to align and streamline work to achieve TEC-P 2.0's common goal of reskilling and upskilling unemployed or underemployed individuals into AM, IT and transportation careers that meet the growing needs of local employers. TEC-P 2.0 workforce development entities coordinate and participate in sector partnerships, lead outreach and recruitment in the local area for both participants and businesses, enroll participants including wraparound supportive services, and participate in data and tracking requirements. Partners are: Adams County Workforce and Business Center, Arapahoe Douglas Works!, Workforce Boulder County, DEDO: Denver Workforce Services (lead applicant), Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development, Jefferson County Business and Workforce Center, and Employment Services of Weld County. TEC-P 2.0 education and training providers participate in sector partnerships and administer training. They also participate in recruitment and can contribute to wraparound supportive services to support program completion, as appropriate. Partners are: Community College of Denver, CrossPurpose, Front Range Community College, Turing School of Software and Design, General Assembly, Arapahoe Community College, Techtonic, Community College of Aurora, Red Rocks Community College, Denver Office of Financial Empowerment, Twilio, and Emily Griffith Technical College. TEC-P 2.0 business partners participate in and drive the strategic direction of sector partnerships. For developing career pathways, this includes WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 70 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B validating labor market trends, informing the list of skills and/or competencies required for occupations and the associated training needed, participating in curriculum development and program design, and validating credentials when appropriate. For program activities, this includes deciding which job openings to prioritize for hiring qualified participants who complete training programs; providing resources, such as mentors or equipment; and upskilling front-line and other incumbent workers, including hiring unemployed participants to backfill job vacancies left by incumbent worker participants who move into higher -skilled jobs. In short, sector partnerships drive operational procedures. In partnership with the education and training providers, this work develops career pathways within an industry with on -ramps for individuals at every stage of their career. For entry-level workers who may be unemployed or reskilling to move into a new career pathway, this provides an articulated path to middle- and high -skill employment. Business partners also provide work -based learning opportunities for participants in partnership with training providers. This supports the program and builds a connection to training participants, most of whom business partners commit to hiring upon program completion. Partners are: Boeing, Apex Transportation, Silicon Mountain Technologies, Independent Electrical Contractors — Rocky Mountain, Twilio, EMP-Electro-Mechanical Products, C -Squared Computer Consulting, City of Arvada IT Department, Acme Distribution and Ardent Mills. Industry or trade associations include: Colorado Technology Association, NoCo Manufacturing Sector Partnership, Tech Talent Boulder, Tech Talent Denver, Manufacturer's Edge and Aerospace and Aviation Sector Partnership. Other partners include CUWA, serving as a neutral workforce system facilitator, Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce to support outreach and pipeline development with local businesses, and PCs for People — a nonprofit that provides supportive services through computer and mobile internet access. WELD COUNTY/H-16/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 71 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F045681B The TEC-P 2.0 One Workforce Partnership unites the efforts and expands five regional sector partnerships across advanced manufacturing and IT. One group — Metro Denver Aerospace and Aviation — crosses between AM and transportation sectors. Additional new transportation sector partnerships will be established. Existing sector partnerships include: Tech Talent Denver (Arapahoe/ Douglas, Jefferson, Adams, Denver), Boulder IT Sector Partnership Group (Boulder), Metro Denver Manufacturing (Arapahoe/Douglas, Jefferson, Adams, Denver), NoCo Manufacturing (Larimer, Weld) and Metro Denver Aerospace and Aviation (Arapahoe/Douglas, Jefferson, Adams, Denver). These sector partnerships represent businesses with a vested interest in building a middle- and high -skilled workforce in AM and IT and training providers who collaborate to develop programs that meet the needs of business. To expand beyond aerospace and aviation within transportation, initial meetings have started in fall 2020 with a Freight Sector Partnership led by the Colorado Workforce Development Council and convened by the Colorado Department of Transportation. Career pathway work is beginning, such as a new Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Roadway Construction and Maintenance Associate degree. Other activities, such as the exploration of an inland port in Colorado by a group of international trade businesses, are driving the need to establish sector partnerships in this field and subsequent career pathways. TEC-P 2.0 partners will convene additional sector partnerships based on the pressing needs of local businesses and to adapt to new technology, such as driverless cars. TEC-P 2.0 is a model for regional alignment to address talent pipeline issues, particularly in middle- and high -skill careers in sectors facing skill shortages and changing demand. Although the work is coordinated regionally by local workforce areas, business partners drive the strategy and programming for participants, including work -based learning opportunities. 3. Career pathways. I. Description. TEC-P 2.0 will expand career WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 72 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B pathways within AM and IT and establish new career pathways within transportation. Each TEC- P 2.0 sector partnership will drive the adoption and refinement of career pathways customized for regional business needs. Career pathways within IT and advanced manufacturing are well established through the success of TEC-P. Career pathways within transportation often cross sectors —such as Boeing's need for software developers —or will be developed through the grant period. The tables below show examples of the career pathways in target H-1 B sectors. Table: Simplified Computer User Support Specialist Career Pathway Entry level Middle skill High skill Occupation Computer User Support Computer Systems Software Quality Specialist (15-1131) Analyst (15-1121) Assurance Engineer (15-1199) Preferred Technical certificate; Software developer Software developer Education associate degree boot camp; bachelor's boot camp; bachelor's degree degree Sample TEC-P Arapahoe Community Techtonic Software Turing School of 2.0 Training College: Computer developer Software & Design — Provider Technician Certificate apprenticeship Back End Engineering Sample Certified A+ Certified Information Certified Software Credential Technician Systems Auditor Test Professional H -1B occupation Yes Yes Yes Table: Simplified Machine Operator Career Pathway Skill Level Entry level Middle skill High skill Occupation Machine Operator CNC Machinist Front Line Supervisor (51-4081) (51-4011) (53-1021) Preferred Technical certificate Training program; Associate degree; Education apprenticeship vocational training Sample TEC-P Front Range Front Range Front Range 2.0 Training Community College: Community College: Community College: Provider Fast track machining Machining program — NOCO Manufacturing program — Introduction Intermediate Supervisor Sample National Institute of NIMS CNC Lathe & Certificate of Credential Metalworking (NIMS) Mill completion Level 1 Certificate H -1B occupation No Yes Yes Training strategies for IT and AM: Businesses within sector partnerships, such as NoCo Manufacturing Partnership, collaborate with training providers to incorporate the training strategy that will best build the skill set of program participants to meet businesses' needs. For WELD COUNTY/H-18/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 73 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AFOD5-CDF3-4�J43-PC22-E6A8F0456B1 B example, businesses may specify that certain NIMS certificates are highly sought after because of specific skill shortages. TEC-P 2.0 participants will then receive upskilling or reskilling training that leverages the existing standards and credentials. The credentials are transferrable and stackable, and participants receive training in the in -demand areas that meet business needs. Early career pathway work has begun in transportation, but more is needed to support this emerging sector; in particular, building career pathways that connect entry-level occupations to middle- and high -skill jobs that will continue to adapt to changes in technology and industry innovation. Transportation, distribution and logistics career clusters with eight underlying career pathways have been developed. The new TEC-P 2.0 transportation sector partnerships will validate these pathways and customize training programs to meet the needs of businesses within the region. Training strategy for transportation: This training will likely include on-the-job training, paid work experience, customized cohort training or other training strategies. 3. ii. Training delivery. TEC-P 2.0 training programs are delivered with multiple innovative delivery models based on the needs of employers, resulting in industry -recognized credentials that have been validated through sector partnerships. Strategies include work -based learning opportunities, blended/hybrid models, and online learning based on the program. An illustrative example is TEC-P 2.O's expansion of Techtonic's registered apprenticeship program. The initial TEC-P program helped implement the nation's first software development apprenticeship program by Techtonic. Techtonic now has programs in three states, and 100% of graduates receive a salaried job offer after 12 weeks of training and 40 hours of hands-on work experience. Another illustrative example is General Assembly's mixture of in -person, online, full-time immersive and part-time courses. The front-end web development course results in an industry -recognized certificate and includes hands-on experience with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, with self -paced WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 74 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B lessons for online learners. Through TEC-P 2.0, based on the needs of local employers, the full array of training strategies will be available, including on-the-job training, customized cohort training, incumbent worker training, registered apprenticeships, industry -recognized apprenticeships, paid work experience, paid internships and other types of training. The power of the hub model is the highly aligned, regional approach in career pathway and training program development. Curriculum and training strategies are updated continuously, as monthly meetings include updates on shifting labor market trends, operational shifts and the changing needs of local businesses. Many training providers have adapted to online learning because of COVID-19. This option will be available for program participants based on availability and personal preference. Local workforce areas have adapted to virtual service delivery, including offering virtual workshops, job fairs, custom hiring events and consultative contacts by team members. With the infrastructure and systems now in place, this will continue to be an option for program participants. Project Work Plan. Implementation of TEC-P 2.0 will achieve five goals. i Establish program infrastructure. Milestones include hiring staff, training, setting up policies and procedures, modifying Connecting Colorado, and developing streamlined marketing and outreach plans. To be achieved in the first six months of the grant period, this will ensure a coordinated and systematic approach across all partners. It will also ensure systems are in place to provide accurate and timely progress reporting on the success of the program. (2) Sector partnership expansion and development. Milestones include convening sector partnerships to support grant activities and establishing the structures for ongoing career pathway development and credential validation by employers. Groups will be convened during PYI with initial training and employment activities beginning by Q3 of the grant period. Sector partnerships will meet quarterly throughout the grant period. (3) Activate referral pipeline. Milestones include WELD COUNTY/H-16/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 75 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B establishing outreach plans for program participants, establishing referral and data systems, and convening community employer partners. Once established, the referral pipeline will result in active enrollments and employment. (4) Active program enrollment. An estimated 750 unemployed and underemployed will receive case management, supportive services, employment and training opportunities in the target sectors. Enrollment will ramp up after the first six months of the grant, with the majority of individuals participating during PY2 and PY3. (5) Performance monitoring. To monitor progress throughout the life of the program, milestones include: monthly compliance reports from local area partners, quarterly performance measurement reports, and participation in DOL evaluation activities. Frequent reporting will ensure all milestones across the program are met and issues are resolved. . 1) Capacity of Lead Applicant. i. Capacity to manage program. As the lead applicant, DEDO has a track record of effectively managing regional workforce development initiatives, including several significant sector partnerships. DEDO serves as a convener or co -convener of existing sector partnerships included in TEC-P 2.0, (described below). Most relevant, DEDO was the lead applicant for a funded H -1B grant (TEC-P) that concluded in 2019, less than five years ago. DEDO has the partnership structures in place that encompass communication and project management for effective and efficient management of the project with all partners and staff. DEDO will partner with CUWA for overall coordination and project management of TEC-P 2.0. DEDO and grant partners have a tested coordinated infrastructure to effectively manage programs like TEC-P 2.0 with the hub model. To manage TEC-P 2.0, DEDO will work with CUWA to assemble or leverage existing teams of subject matter experts in business services, workforce intelligence and data, and TEC-P 2.0 program -specific leadership (advisory group). This follows the model initially designed for WELD COUNTY/H-1 B/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 76 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1 B the management of the funded H-1 B grant TEC-P. Advisory group members are responsible for disseminating information, including tools and manuals, to all staff and partners within their local area based on the organization's standard operating procedures and existing dissemination channels. All working groups meet monthly, providing a platform to identify efficiencies and collective solutions on an ongoing basis. As new processes and procedures are successful, internal systems or policies are put in place so program activities are consistent, including reporting. This is embedded in the collaboration framework. To successfully facilitate and monitor TEC-P 2.0, DEDO will require quarterly local area reporting in addition to monthly calls, and provide access to a dedicated technical advisor. The technical advisor is able to support local areas in determining eligibility for participants or developing case management workflows. To apply procedures consistently, DEDO will collaborate with CUWA to develop a TEC-P 2.0 operations manual for the local workforce areas. The grants management systems and procedures used by DEDO, including procurement, have been developed by the City and County of Denver's Budget Management Office in alignment with state and federal requirements to ensure compliance and are monitored through a series of fiscal and programmatic checks and balances. ii. Detailed organizational chart. An organizational chart is attached. 2) Reporting Systems. i. Timely and accurate reporting. DEDO will meet all DOL reporting requirements and provide individual record -level data that would be made available for evaluation and national reporting purposes. To regularly assess progress toward performance goals, the existing Connecting Colorado (CC) database will be leveraged. CC is the state workforce system of record and has proved its ability to track and report on activities and outcomes through past performance, such as regular WIOA reporting and federal grant reporting for TEC-P. CC will be customized to meet the data and tracking needs of TEC-P 2.0, allowing for rigorous and ongoing assessment of WELD COUNTY/H-IB/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 77 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B the program. The system has capabilities to report on efficacy of training programs, in-depth demographics and barriers to employment. A program code will be developed in CC specific to TEC-P 2.0 to allow individual participant -level tracking. DEDO will also collaborate with CUWA to leverage a team of data experts —the Workforce Intelligence and Data Expert (WIDE) group —combining the skills and knowledge of workforce data experts across the CCPR. WIDE meets monthly to assess labor market information and monitor the skills job seekers need to be successful. WIDE also presents labor market data to sector partnerships for validation. This group will be leveraged to monitor the identified participant performance goals in addition to the TEC-P 2.0 advisory group. WIDE has developed methodology for return on investment and long-term impact by examining wage growth, retention and other indicators. CC can deliver aggregate median wage outcomes for program participants up to 16 quarters after exit, allowing DOL to assess participants success up to four years after program completion. Existing management information systems, accounting, finance and communications teams will also monitor the results and assess program performance. DEDO utilizes the integrated financial system Workday, which provides a central location for recording proposals, transforming proposal budgets, reporting on awards against proposals and automating the post -award process. Additional systems used for financial reporting include: Kronos, Jaegger, SalesForce. Monthly expenditure reports are reviewed and analyzed with results considered in staffing and budgeting decisions. . 1) Lead applicant's capacity. DEDO, as the lead applicant, also led the coordination, implementation and administration of TEC-P. After seeing success from TEC-P with the hub model, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment began to administer funds using this model. This system includes shared staff and resources across local areas, encouraging collaboration and efficiency. As a local workforce entity, DEDO WELD COUNTY/H-16/LV EXHIBIT B OEDEV:202158070-00 Page 78 of 97 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B administers WIOA and other federally funded programs. Standard operations require sector - based work, with a team dedicated to partnering with businesses to train and/or hire workers based on industry skill shortages and demand. DEDO has led sector partnerships since 2012, serving as the convener or co -convener for six regional sector partnerships including the Denver Tech Talent Partnership, Greater Metro Denver Healthcare Partnership, Denver Metro Retail Partnership, Metro Denver Early Childhood Partnership, Denver Metro Construction Partnership and the Metro Manufacturing Partnership. Further evidence of DEDO's success delivering a funded H -1B grant is attached. 2) Experience developing education/training programs. TEC- P 2.0 partners have had significant success enrolling participants, helping them secure employment and wage increases in middle- to high -skilled H-1 B jobs. Of the 12 training partners, nine were partners in TEC-P, which enrolled 633 participants in training programs. Of those, 542 (85.6%) completed a program and 329 received a degree or credential. Approximately 70% of unemployed participants obtained employment, with an average wage of $78,547. Additional partners in TEC-P 2.0 also have a history of successful enrollment and employment outcomes. The Community College of Denver (CCD) has been delivering training and education programs since 1967. The Center for Workforce Initiatives in CCD helps connect employers, workers, students and partners to innovative programming toward career advancement for working adults (including lower -income). The college graduated 1,238 students, awarding 660 certificates. 3) Past Performance. DEDO achieved exceptional outcomes with TEC-P. Ending in 2019, 482 job seekers received services and were placed in employment. Participants went on to earn a total of $48.36 million through December 2018. At a cost of $6.17 million, this is a return of $7.84 in worker earnings for every one public dollar spent. Past performance documentation is attached.

Any cost charge to a grant must be necessary and reasonable for the proper and efficient performance and administration of the grant. A grantee or sub awardee is required to exercise sound business practices and to comply with its procedures for charging costs. 1.1.2 Costs must be allocable: A grantee may charge costs to the grant if those costs are clearly identifiable as benefiting the grant program. Costs charged to the grant should benefit only the grant program, not other programs or activities. In order to be allocable, a cost must be treated consistently with like costs and incurred specifically for the program being charged. Shared costs must benefit both the ETA grant and other work and be distributed in reasonable proportion to the benefits received. 1.1.3 Costs must be authorized or not prohibited under Federal, State, or local laws or regulations: Costs incurred must not be prohibited by any Federal, State, or local law. 1.1.4 Costs must receive consistent treatment by a grantee: A grantee must treat a cost uniformly across program elements and from year to year. Costs that are indirect for some programs cannot be considered direct ETA grant costs. 1.1.5 Costs must not be used to meet matching or cost -sharing requirements: A grantee may not use federally funded costs, whether direct or indirect, as match or to meet matching fund requirements unless specifically authorized by law. 1.1.6 Costs must be adequately documented: A grantee must document all costs in a manner consistent with GAAP. Examples include retaining evidence of competitive bidding for services or supplies, adequate time records for employees who charge time against the grant, invoices, receipts, purchase orders, etc. 1.1.7 Costs must conform to ETA grant exclusions and limitations: A grantee or sub -grantee may not charge a cost to the grant that is unallowable per the grant regulations or the cost limitations specified in the regulations. 2.1 Cash Manasement Disbursements shall be processed through the City and County of Denver's Office of Denver Economic Development & Opportunity (DEDO) - Financial Management Unit (FMU) and the City and County of Denver's Department of Finance. 2.1.1 The method of payment to the Contractor by DEDO shall be in accordance with established FMU procedures for line -item reimbursements.

Two items are needed for verification of payroll: (1) the amount of time worked by the employee for this pay period; and (2) the amount of salary paid to the employee, including information on payroll deductions. 3.1.1.2 The amount of time worked will be verified with timesheets. The timesheets must include the actual hours worked under the terms of this contract, and the actual amount of time worked under other programs. The total hours worked during the period must reflect all actual hours worked under all programs including leave time. The employee's name, position, and signature, as well as a signature by an appropriate supervisor, or executive director, must be included on the timesheets. If the timesheet submitted indicates that the employee provided services payable under this contract for a portion of the total time worked, then the amount of reimbursement requested must be calculated and documented in the monthly reimbursement request. 3.1.1.3 A payroll register or payroll ledger from the accounting system will verify the amount of salary. Copies of paychecks are acceptable if they include the gross pay and deductions. 3.1.2 Fringe Benefits 3.1.2.2 Fringe benefits paid by the employer can be requested by applying the FICA match of 7.65 percent to the gross salary paid under this contract. Fringe benefits may also include medical plans, retirement plans, worker's compensation, and unemployment insurance. Fringe benefits that exceed the FICA match may be documented by 1) a breakdown of how the fringe benefit percentage was determined prior to first draw request; or, 2) by submitting actual invoices for the fringe benefits. If medical insurance premiums are part of the estimates in item #1, one-time documentation of these costs will be required with the breakdown. Payroll taxes may be questioned if they appear to be higher than usual. 3.1.3 Food Purchases — will not be reimbursed. 3.1.4 Administration and Overhead Cost - Other non -personnel line items, such as administration, or overhead need invoices, and an allocation to this program documented WELD COUNTY/H-1B/LV OEDEV:202158070-00 EXHIBIT C 02/01/2021-01/31/2025 Page 2 of 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: EE6AF0D5-CDF3-4943-AC22-E6A8F0456B1B in the draw request.
