3. Can M/WBEs apply and if so are extra points awarded to M/WBEs?

No, extra points awarded.

4. Where do we state on our proposal the amount of our proposal? The bidders can

have a 1 page titled Cost and Fees. Include applicable costs for the goods and/or

services for each element in the scope of work. Examples: Overall Project

management, Outreach intervention services, Counseling, Mentoring, Data

Collection-Reports, Stakeholder/engagement/community partner meetings. List total

5. Do we need to submit a 12-month budget? Project cost should be based on

Assumptions-Project start March 2024-June 30, 2024.

6. Is this a reimbursement grant/contract? Reimbursement grant.

7. CLEARLY MENTION WHAT IS “BASE” VS “ALTERNATE #...” –bidders will be

evaluated on your BASE. Will a statement saying , “all cost/bid in this proposal is

base”, would that be acceptable? Yes, that is acceptable.

8. Is there a certain number of M/BEWs we have to commit to working with even if we

are a LOSB organization? No requirement.

9. Is there a scoring rubic that will show how many points each area is worth. Yes.

10. A list of current and former clients for whom the Proposer has provided services

similar to this bid (with preference given to clients comparable to Shelby County

Government), is to be submitted and, for each such reference, the business name,

the identification of a contact person, the title of the contact person and a telephone

number: Can we use our current Shelby County government homeless prevention

contract as one of our references seeing that we are mentoring the kids of the

parents we are helping and guiding them towards education and to avoid violence?

Yes.

11. Will the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder or the best value for the county?

Proposers are advised that the lowest cost-responsive proposal will not necessarily

be awarded the contract, as the selection will also score on professional and

technical completeness, per the scorecard attached to this bid. The

evaluation/selection process may exceptionally include a request for additional

information (from Purchasing only), to support the written proposal.

12. I often get confused or the way to arrange the offer, is there a standard order you

would like to see the martial presented? The proposal format starts on page 23 of

the RFP document.

If you have any questions, please contact me via email at carla.hayes@shelbycountytn.gov.
