Background:
This agreement provides targeted services to equip residents with essential digital skills.
Following a request for proposals (RFP) issued by the Broadband and Digital Inclusion Department, the vendor was selected to provide digital skills tailored to seniors, including:
• Easy-to-understand monthly digital skill training programs
• Guidance to help vulnerable seniors stay safe online
• Instruction offered in one-on-one or small group formats
This initiative supports the county’s disparity elimination efforts by helping bridge the digital divide. Purchasing rules require County Board approval for service agreements when the vendor’s total annual contract value exceeds $100,000, including previous agreements that contribute to this amount.
Senior Community Services has previously provided services that met or exceeded performance expectations, including digital skills support and online safety training for residents with limited digital skills and limited mobility.
