MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR SERVICE DELIVERY AGREEMENTS
Between
Weld County Workforce Development Board, Employment Services of Weld County
And
Jobs for Veterans State Grant Program
PURSUANT TO THE
WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT (WIOA)
PARTIES AND PURPOSE
This Memorandum of Understanding ('MOU') is made by and between the Weld County Workforce
Development Board, Employment Services of Weld County, and the Colorado Department of Labor and
Employment, Division of Employment and Training, for the use and benefit of the Jobs for Veterans State
Program, (together the 'Parties').
Pursuant to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Weld County Workforce
Development Board is required to develop and enter into a MOU with service delivery partners required by
the WIOA.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board has designated the Employment Services of Weld County
Workforce Center as the one -stop center for the federally designated local area(s) of the Upstate Region.
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(c) requires that each Local Workforce Development Board ('LWDB'), with
the agreement of the Chief Elected Official ('CEO'), shall develop and enter into an MOU (between the
LWDB and the one -stop partners), consistent with Section 121(c)(2), concerning the operation of the one -
stop delivery system in each local area.
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(1)(A)(iii) mandates all entities that are required partners in a local area
('Partners') to enter into an MOU with the LWDB relating to the operation of the one -stop system, pursuant
to WIOA Section 121 (c).
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(1) identifies the required programs or activities, and requires that each
entity that carries out a program or activities ('Partners') in Weld County shall: (a) provide access through
the one -stop delivery system to such program or activities carried out by the Partner, including making the
career services described in WIOA section 134(c)(2) that are applicable to the program or activities
available at the one -stop centers (in addition to any other appropriate locations); (a) use a portion of the
funds available for the program and activities to maintain the one -stop delivery system, including payment
of the infrastructure costs of one -stop centers in accordance with WIOA Sec. 121(h); (c) enter into a MOU
with the LWDB, relating to the operation of the one -stop system, that meets the requirements of WIOA Sec.
121(c); (d) participate in the operation of the one -stop system consistent with the terms of this MOU, the
requirements of this title, and the requirements of the Federal laws authorizing the program or activities;
and (e) provide representation on the State board to the extent provided under WIOA Sec. 101.
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(2) prescribes how other entities that carry out programs other than those
required under WIOA Section 121(b)(1)(B) may be one -stop partners for the local area of Weld County as
additional Partners and provide the services available under their programs through the Employment
Services of Weld County one -stop delivery system.
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(2)(A) provides that both required and additional partners are Partners
for the local area. Therefore, all entities that participate in the local area of Weld County service delivery
Page 1 of 11
02.v/ r-- 00 e a)
system as Partners, whether required or additional, must be Parties to this MOU and must abide by the
terms prescribed herein and by all applicable federal, state, and local rules, plans, and policies as applicable
to the Partner and authorized under the Partner's relevant legislation and in keeping with federal guidelines.
WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(1)(A)(iv) indicates that the requirements of each Partner's authorizing
legislation continue to apply under the local area of Weld County workforce system and that participation
in the operation of the Employment Services of Weld County one -stop delivery system is in addition to the
requirements of WIOA and other requirements applicable to each Partner under each authorizing law.
NOW THEREFORE, this MOU identifies (1) the duration of the MOU as well as the procedures for
amending it during the term or period covered by the MOU, (2) the specific services provided by the Partner,
(3) the procedures used to refer individuals between the Partners for the provision of appropriate services
and activities, and (4) the method by which the cost of these services will be allocated and shared, if
applicable.
I. TERM
The Parties' performance under this MOU shall commence on the later of (a) July 1, 2017, or (b) the date
this MOU becomes fully executed (the `Effective Date'). This MOU shall remain in effect until June 30,
2020, unless previously terminated or updated by one of the Parties pursuant to the terms of this MOU.
II. SCOPE
This MOU is entered into by and between the Parties for the delivery of services within the one -stop system,
including the coordination of service delivery and the referral of customers, for the Weld County area. WIOA
§121(b) identifies both the required and the optional programs and activities that may be carried out by
Partners in the Weld County area.
A. One -Stop Partner Services: Exhibit A hereto sets forth the specific services that the Parties will
provide in the Local Area in which the Partners operate. Exhibit A is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. Beginning on the Effective Date and
continuing throughout the term of this MOU, the Parties agree to work collaboratively to carry out
the provisions of WIOA and this MOU and to provide the services set forth in its signed Exhibit A.
Each Party agrees (1) to promptly notify the other Parties if, for any reason, the Party fails to provide
or is unable to provide the services set forth in its signed Exhibit A and (2) to amend its Exhibit A
in accordance with this MOU if, for any reason, Exhibit A no longer accurately or completely
describes the services provided by the Parties.
B. Cost Sharing
1. Negotiation of the Infrastructure Funding Agreement (`IFA')
The Colorado Workforce Development Council (`CWDC"), with the authority of the Governor,
provides that (a) each Partner that operates in the Local Area is required to begin contributing its
Proportionate Share of the Total Costs of operating each comprehensive and affiliate one -stop
center in the Local Area (`One -Stop Delivery System Budget') no later than January 1, 2018; (b)
the cost sharing methodology must be decided by consensus agreement among the LWDB, the
CEO, and all the Parties; (c) if any Party fails to agree to a IFA that meets the requirements set
forth by the CWDC by the October 1, 2017 the State will implement the State Funding Mechanism
to determine each Partner's Contribution.
The Parties agree to participate in good faith in the negotiation of an IFA that meets all requirements
set forth by the CWDC by October 1, 2017. At a minimum, the IFA should (a) specify the effective
time period, which may be different from that of the duration of the MOU; (b) identify the
Infrastructure Costs, Shared Costs and Total Costs; (c) identify the formula used to calculate
Page 2 of 11
Proportionate Share; (d) identify the CEO, the LWDB, and the Parties participating in the IFA; and
(e) establish a process by which the Parties will reconcile the Total Costs, the Proportionate Share
and the Partner Contribution at least once per quarter throughout the term of the IFA. Upon
agreement, any IFAs for the local area shall be incorporated as legally binding components of this
MOU as if fully set forth herein, and shall be attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B.
The Parties agree that (a) the Infrastructure Costs, Shared Costs and Total Costs will be calculated
using actual cost data, where possible, or reasonable cost estimates, where actual data is not
available; (b) the cost data or estimates underlying the calculation of the Infrastructure Costs,
Shared Costs and Total Costs will be disclosed to the Partners; (c) the methodology for calculating
each Partner's Proportionate Share of the Total Costs will be determined through a reasonable
cost allocation methodology that assigns costs to Partners in proportion to relative benefits
received; (d) the Parties will negotiate in good faith to identify the methodology as well as the
formula by which each Partner will make the Partner Contribution and to establish a process by
which the Parties will reconcile the Total Costs, the Proportionate Share and the Partner
Contribution at least once per quarter throughout the term of the IFA; and (e) in negotiating the IFA,
the Parties will comply with both the letter and the spirit of the WIOA law, regulations, Office of
Management and Budget Circulars, and CWDC-issued policy guidance.
2. Abide by State Funding Mechanism, if Implemented, Subject to the Appeals Process
If the Parties fail to agree to an IFA that meets the requirements of the CWDC by October 1, 2017,
the State will implement the State Funding Mechanism to determine each Partner's Contribution.
As applicable, (a) the Parties agree to abide by the terms of the State Funding Mechanism, if
implemented, subject to the appeals process set forth by the CWDC; and (b) the Partners who are
not subject to the State Funding Mechanism agree that, if the State Funding Mechanism is
implemented, such Partner will continue in good faith to negotiate an IFA that meets the
requirements of the CWDC.
III. PROVISIONS
A. Termination of MOU
(1) Any Party wishing to terminate this MOU must provide written notice, by certified mail, return
receipt requested, stating its intent to terminate to the other Parties at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective date of termination of the MOU. All rights and obligations of the Parties under
this MOU shall cease on the effective date of such termination, with the sole exception of any
liabilities which the Parties may have incurred and the Parties' confidentiality obligations under
Paragraph IV.B.
(a) Per WIOA Section 121, any Partner that terminates its role as a Party to this MOU is no
longer eligible to participate as a Partner with the Local Workforce system and will not be
permitted to serve on the LWDB as a Partner representative.
(b) A Partner of this MOU that subsequently loses federal funding or the authority to administer
the federal program in the Area and therefore no longer qualifies as a required Partner
under WIOA Section 121(b)(1) must send written notice of the change in status to all the
Parties as soon as possible. In such an event, a formal amendment to this MOU per
Paragraph B of this Article will be required. The entity may continue as an additional Partner

Page 3 of 11
B. Modifications and Amendments
(1) Except as specifically provided in this MOU, modifications of this MOU shall not be effective

(2) In accordance with 20 CFR 678.500(d) the Parties agree to review the terms of this MOU not
less than every three (3) years following the Effective Date to reflect any changes in the delivery

the MOU to ensure appropriate funding and delivery of services. Weld County shall initiate and
oversee periodic review(s).
(3)
The Parties may modify an exhibit attached to this MOU without written amendment to the
MOU; provided, however, that no such modification to an exhibit shall result in or be binding
on the Parties if the modification requires an increase to a Party's total amount of cost sharing
costs as set forth in Exhibit B. Any modification to an exhibit agreed to by the parties that
requires an increase in a Party's total amount of cost sharing costs shall be evidenced by a
written amendment to this MOU prepared and executed by both parties in accordance with
Section I I I. B. (1) above.
The parties shall, in each instance, memorialize in writing any and all modifications to an exhibit
by revising and restating that exhibit and referencing the contract control numbers, if any, for
this MOU. A proposed modification to an exhibit will be effective only when it has been

as to form by each Party's legal counsel. Each modified Exhibit shall contain the date upon
which the modified exhibit shall take effect.
C. Appropriations/Funding
(1) WIOA Sec. 121(c)(2)(A)(ii) requires that the funding arrangements for services and operating
costs of the Employment Services of Weld County Workforce Center One -Stop service delivery

its funds available for such programs and activities, to operate and maintain the Employment
Services of Weld County One -Stop delivery system, including proportional payment of the
Infrastructure Costs, Additional Costs, and Total Costs of the Weld County One -Stop Centers (20
CFR § 678.700). All cost sharing agreements set forth in Exhibit B or elsewhere in this MOU are
subject to all federal laws, rules, regulations, Office of Management and Budget Circulars, and
guidance governing the specific program or activities for which cost sharing is required under
WIOA. All obligations of the Parties under this MOU for cost -sharing arrangements, whether in
whole or in part, are subject to and contingent upon the continuing availability of federal funds
authorizing the program or activity for which cost sharing is required under WIOA and shall
extend only to funds appropriated annually by the State of Colorado or the County / Denver City
Council, paid into its Treasury City, and encumbered for the purpose of this MOU.
(2) In the event that federal funds, or any part thereof, are not awarded to a Party for a
program or activity for which cost sharing is required under WIOA or are reduced or eliminated by
the federal government, the Parties may modify Exhibit B, in accordance with Section III.B., or the
Party whose program or activity was not funded or was reduced or eliminated may terminate this
MOU in accordance with Section III.A.
Page 4 of 11
(3) The Parties shall have no obligation under this MOU to provide any other monies or
financial support of any kind or nature to operate or maintain the Employment Services of Weld
County One -Stop Delivery system, including proportional payment of the infrastructure costs of
the Weld County One -Stop Centers. If any such obligation is asserted against a Party, any

appropriated annually, paid into the Treasury of the Party, and encumbered for the purpose of the
MOU, if required.
(4) None of the Parties, by this MOU, irrevocably pledges present case reserves for
payments in future fiscal years. The MOU does not and is not intended to create a multiple -fiscal
year direct or indirect debt or financial obligation for any Party.
IV. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

all records, documents, communications, notes and other written materials, and electronic media
files, pertaining in any manner to the performance of this MOU until the later to occur of: (i) a period
of three (3) years after the date this MOU expires or is earlier terminated, or (ii) the resolution of
any pending disputes arising out of or relating to this MOU or the Parties' rights and obligations
hereunder. This section shall be deemed to supplement and not replace any additional record
maintenance and inspection requirements that a Party's funding authority or program may be
bound by. All Parties shall continue to adhere to such other record maintenance and inspection
requirements in addition to those set forth in this section.
B. Confidentiality and Data Sharing: The Parties will have access to and contribute to information and
materials of a highly sensitive nature, including confidential information. During the term of this

MOU. In accordance with but not limited to 20 CFR Part 603, 45 CFR Section 205.50, 20 USC
1232g and 34 CFR part 99, and 34 CFR 361.38, as well as applicable state and federal law, rules,
regulations, and waivers, all Parties shall actively secure and share confidential participant
information and records. The Parties shall not share another Parties', confidential data unless
allowed by state, and federal law, rules, regulations, and waivers. Partners acknowledge that the
execution of this MOU, by itself, does not function to satisfy all of these requirements.
C. Dispute Resolution: If Parties disagree on the implementation of this MOU or the performance of
services hereunder, the Parties or their representatives will attempt to resolve their disagreement
through negotiation. If the Parties cannot reach a resolution through this negotiation, the LWDB will
attempt to resolve the differences with the assistance of the Partner or representative. If the Parties'
disagreements cannot be resolved at this level, the LWDB must report failure to resolve the dispute
with a required partner to the local elected official, Governor, the CWDC, and the State agency
responsible for administering the Partner's program. If the State in collaboration with the local
elected official cannot assist the LWDB in resolving the disagreement, the CWDC must report the
failure to the Secretary of Labor and to the head of any other Federal agency with responsibility for
oversight of a Partner's program (20 CFR Part 678.510).
D. Entire MOU: The Parties recognize and agree that no Party has made or authorized any
understanding beyond that expressly set forth in the MOU, and no oral representation, promise, or
consideration different from the terms herein contained shall be binding on either Party, or its
agents or employees, hereto. This MOU embodies the entire agreement between the Parties
referring to the subject matter between the Parties hereto and there are no promises, terms,
conditions, or obligations referring to the subject matter whereof than as contained herein.
Page 5 of 11
E. Severability: Should any other provisions of this MOU be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then
the balance of the MOU shall be held to be in full force and effect as though the invalid portion was
not included; provided, however, that should the Party or Parties who would receive the benefits of
the provision, were it not invalid or unenforceable, shall have the option to terminate this MOU,
forthwith.
F. Independent Contractor: The Parties recognize and agree that each Party is an independent
contractor for all purposes, both legal and practical, in performing services under this MOU, and
that each Party and its agents and employees are not agents or employees of the other Party for
any purpose. As an independent contractor, each Party shall be responsible for employing and
directing their own personnel and agents as is required to perform the services provided pursuant
to this MOU, and shall exercise complete authority over its own personnel and agents, and shall
be fully responsible for their actions. Each Party acknowledges that their agents and employees
are not agents or employees of the other Party, for any purpose.
Nothing in this MOU will be construed to make one Party an employee, franchisee, joint venturer,
agent or Partner, of the other Party. No Party will represent itself to have any authority to bind any
other Party to act on its behalf, except as expressly set forth herein. No Party will have the right to
represent itself as having the authority to pledge the other Party's credit or extend credit in the other
Party's name. No Party will have the right to execute any agreements in the other Party's name,
or to bind the other Party in any way.
The Parties acknowledge that they are not entitled to unemployment benefits or workers
compensation benefits from the other Party, its elected officials, agents or any program
administered or funded by the other Party. The Parties shall be entitled to unemployment coverage
or workers compensation insurance only if unemployment compensation coverage or workers
compensation coverage is provided by that Party's Program or some other entity that is not a Party
to this MOU.
G. Third Party Indemnification: To the extent permitted by law, each Party shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless the State and its officers and employees from any and all claims, liabilities or
penalties suffered by the State or its officers and employees, and any and all claims, liabilities or
penalties asserted against the State or its officers and employees, by or on behalf of any person,
on account of, based on or resulting from, or arising out of (or claimed to have arisen out of) the
acts or omissions of the Non -State Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of the State's or any governmental entity's sovereign immunity,
which immunity is hereby reserved to the State or other governmental entity which is a Party to this
MOU.
H. Governmental Immunity: Liability for claims for injuries to persons or property arising from the
negligence of the Parties, their departments, institutions, agencies, boards, commissions,
committees, bureaus, offices, officials, and employees shall be controlled and limited by the
provisions of the Governmental Immunity Act § 24-10-101, et seq.; the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28
U.S.C. Pt. VI, Ch. 171 and 28 U.S.C. 1346(b), and the risk management statutes, C.R.S. § § 24-
30-1501, et seq., as amended.
I. Third -Party Beneficiary: The enforcement of the terms and conditions of this MOU and all rights of
action relating to such enforcement, shall be strictly reserved to the Parties, and nothing contained
in this MOU shall give or allow any claim or right of action whatsoever by any non -Party. It is the
express intent of the Parties to this MOU that any person receiving services or benefits under this

subsequent breach. All remedies afforded under this MOU shall be taken and construed as
cumulative, that is, in addition to every other remedy provided herein or by law.

linkage.
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) Jobs for Veterans State
Grant (JVSG) staff is strategically assigned within local areas to serve businesses and
eligible persons with significant barriers to employment. The placement of the JVSG staff
is determined by CDLE, in consultation with US Department of Labor (USDOL) Veterans
Employment and Training Service (VETS), and the Weld County Workforce, hereinafter
referred to as the American Job Center (AJC), based on Veteran population in accordance
with the JVSG State plan and Federal guidance. When appropriate, JVSG staff are co -
located within at least one Comprehensive One -Stop Center in the local area providing
services to eligible persons. The AJC may request cross -training of staff by the National
Veterans Training Institute. A request for cross -training must be made to the State
Veterans Program Specialist or Coordinator.

between the WIOA and DVOP case managers. DVOP specialists are expected to visit,
outreach to, or co -locate within local area workforce satellite office(s) and offices of other
program partners as directed and approved by CDLE Leadership.
Local Veteran Employment Representatives (LVER), though not co -located, will work
collaborative with the AJC business services staff as part of an integrated Business
Service Team. This aligns the business service within the AJC and streamlines planning
and implementation of any business focused initiative in which Veterans and eligible
spouses may benefit.
b. Describe methods to ensure that needs of workers, youth and individuals with barriers to
employment, including individuals with disabilities, are addressed in the provision of
necessary and appropriate access to services, including access to technology and
materials, made available through the One -Stop Delivery System.
The AJC will follow all applicable Federal, State and local laws to ensure that the needs
of workers, youth, and individuals with barriers to employment, including individuals with
disabilities are addressed. Workers, including JVSG staff, will be provided a fully

accommodations consistent with the AJC staffing policies for staff with similar function and
work duties and in accordance with other Federal and State guidance and agreements.
II. Service Delivery
a. Describe services you will provide, coordination of services and delivery of services. Include
physical location where services will be provided. Identify which items will be available at

businesses, Veterans and spouses including eligible persons with significant barriers to
employment. As outlined in Federal guidance, the JVSG supplements and does not

services to eligible persons as authorized US Law Title 38 and outlined in Federal
guidance. In the absence of JVSG staff, the AJC will ensure delivery of appropriate basic
and individualized career services to eligible persons with significant barriers to
employment.

VI. Certification
2
Exhibit B - Infrastructure Funding Agreement (IFA)
This is to certify that all costs included in this plan are allowable and in accordance with the
requirements of the federal awards to which they apply and 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance),
Cost Principles for State and Local Governments. Unallowable costs have been adjusted for
in allocating costs as indicated in the cost allocation plan.
All costs included in this plan are properly allocable to federal awards on the basis of a
beneficial or causal relationship between the expenses incurred and the agreements to which
they are allocated in accordance with applicable requirements. Further, the same costs that
have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct costs. Similar types of
costs have been accounted for consistently and notification will be provided regarding any
accounting changes that would affect the proposal materially.
