A: Proposal submissions are due on July 31, 2024, by 4:30 PM, Central Standard Time. No extensions will be granted.
A. Response: An offeror must be capable of providing all services identified in Section B of the specific RFP the offeror is considering, including local services identified at the end of Section C. If the offeror is unable to provide a service identified in Section B, and does not identify/subcontract with someone to provide the service, the offeror will be technically unacceptable.
A. No. The EMQ’s are estimate number of service units per month. So for example, there may be time periods that there are no referrals or persons in the program. The EMQ is listed on the number of days billed on average per fiscal year. 14 days x 12 months = 168 days total billed. Also, per the RFP, “These figures are estimates and the government is not bound to meet these estimates.”
A. For Project Code 2001 each unit is considered a day in that catchment area. EMQs are the average of units (or days) billed per month for that Project Code. For example, one person in the STR Program (2001) for the entire month of July will be 31 units (or days) billed for that person. If there were 2 individuals in the program there would be 62 units, 3 persons would be 93 etc.
A. The bid should include each unit price, and not the program overall (example: IOP).
2020/2010 Units = 30 minute session
A. Section C: (H)(2) located on page 13 of the RFP, Staff minimum requires: The vendor shall, "Provide for the appropriate supervision of federal defendants and the orderly running of the facility. A minimum ratio of one staff member for every twenty-five residents (1:25) shall be ensured at all times."
This is a required minimum in order to be in compliance with the RFP, unless there are exceptions as noted in subsection (a) “unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Chief USPO/USPSO or his/her designee.”
With staffing ratio, it requires that these staff members are solely dedicated to the transitional living portion where you are interested in the RFP for Provisional Shelter. The ratio is figured with the number of persons each staff member is responsible for and dedicated to. In other words, if these staff have to handle the issues at the separate emergency shelter area of your program, they would not be considered dedicated to the Provisional Shelter.
A. The solicitor will not pay for dedicated capacity if the service is not provided, only services provided that have been referred by the Probation Form 45 will be paid.
A. The forms listed in this section may vary depending on what service provided. Please review the service solicited in that section and to which form may pertain (ie. Sex Offender Treatment forms are not relevant to the solicitation of Residential Treatment Substance Abuse Treatment.)
A. The physical structure must be established prior to awarding of the contract in order for an inspection to take place. The inspection is to determine that they have met the requirements as required in the RFP. There is no solicitation or funding for development of a “new, dedicated facility”.
A. There is no maximum bed day rate per se, as it depends on the need of the solicitor and the funding available for those services.
