SUBJECT: LITERACY TRAINING PROVIDER SELECTION
In accordance with Ordinance 15,221 which governs selection of professional
services, the City issued a Request for Proposal to provide literacy training to
designated employees. Two responses were received. A committee was appointed
by the City Manager to evaluate the proposals. Serving on the Committee were:
Britt Rice (Chair), Personnel Director, City of Little Rock
Vernon James, Personnel Director, Little Rock Convention Center
Reggie Corbitt, Manager, Little Rock Wastewater Utility
Bill Bunten, Asst. Director Parks & Recreation, City of Little Rock
Curt Dawson, Director of Employee Relations, City of Little Rock
The Proposals had been submitted by Born Free, Inc., and Pulaski County
Literacy Council. The latter had experience in providing work related literacy
training and appeared most qualified. In addition, Pulaski County Literacy
Council has already been working since July of this year with us. The Committee
recommended to award the contract to this non - profit agency.
The 1991 budget includes $25,000 for this special project.
