On April 1, 2010, the Camden County WIB and Camden County released a Request for Proposals packet:
10-DHS-01 – Requesting CWEP with Job Skills services, Open-Entry CWEP with Job Skills services,
and Clothing Assistance services.
Bidders Conference was held for the set of bid specifications on April 12, 2010.
Proposals were received at the WIB office on April 30, 2010. Fifteen (15) proposals were received – (1) for Clothing Assistance services; (10) for CWEP with Job Skills; and (4) for Open-Entry CWEP with Job Skills services. The WIB staff did an initial review of each proposal to ensure all the requirements were met. An additional proposal was received by KRA Corporation after the 12 noon deadline and was returned, unopened, per RFP dictate.
A review committee was appointed, consisting of Nidia Sinclair, Jyi Peterson and Danielle Rodgers (Camden County One-Stop); Cheryl Behnett Ali, Carolyn Demo-Janowiak and Darrell Crone (Camden County Board of Social Services); Deborah Dennis and Don Simeone (NJ DOL Employment Service); Elizabeth Guzman and Patricia Smith (DVRS); Janice Bryant, Barbara Pape and Aaron Cream (Fiscal); and Robert Weil (Connor Strong). All committee members have been and remain intimately familiar with the need for these services, and all committee members determined that none were in any conflict or potential conflict of interest as defined the Local Government Ethics Law.
The specifications set forth various expectations of the County, and included evaluation criteria upon which the vendors knew they would be judged. These included program design criteria, management criteria, and cost criteria. The methodology included a point computation and was established so as to not unfairly or illegally discriminate against or exclude otherwise capable vendors.
Review teams met on May 3, 2010 and did complete reviews of each of the proposals. Each proposal was reviewed by two team members, and the scores were averaged to produce a final proposal score.
The following tables show the vendors who submitted proposals for each of the requests for proposals and the scores.

Request for Proposals – WIA Funds
_______________________________________________________________________
On April 27, 2010, the Camden County WIB and Camden County released a
Request for Proposals packet:
· 10-YS-01 – Requesting proposals for Out-of-School Youth services.
Bidders Conference was held for the set of bid specifications on May 5, 2010.
Proposals were received at the WIB office on May 21, 2010. Three (3) proposals were
received. The WIB staff did an initial review of each proposal to ensure all the
requirements were met.
The specifications set forth various expectations of the County, and included
evaluation criteria upon which the vendors knew they would be judged. These
included program design criteria, management criteria, and cost criteria.
The methodology included a point computation and was established so
as to not unfairly or illegally discriminate against or exclude otherwise
capable vendors.
Review teams met on May 24, 2010 and did complete reviews of each of
the proposals.
Each proposal was reviewed by two team members, and the scores
were averaged (to nearest whole number) to produce a final proposal score.
The following table shows the vendors who submitted proposals for each of the
