Solicitation for Organizations to provide Sober Living Environments

The County of San Benito, hereinafter referred to as "County", invites responses to a Request for Proposals for qualified organizations to provide room and board housing resources in Sober Living Environments (SLE) for the County's Behavioral Health Department. All SLE residential facilities must be registered with and acknowledged by the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (herein after referred to as CCAPP), as meeting the CCAPP standards for Sober Living Environments.

San Benito County has a population of approximate 67,000 residents, inclusive of two incorporated cities, the City of Hollister, and the City of San Juan Bautista. The County is located 30 minutes of Monterey Bay and 45 minutes south of San Jose, and is a General Law County that operates under a County Board of Supervisors, a County Administrative Officer, and elected and appointed Department Heads.

The proposed period of the contract is 3 years.

The funding or portions of this funding for the contract resulting from this RFP may be contingent upon the State budget; receipt of funds from and/or obligation of funds by the Federal government to the State and from the State to the County; and inclusion of sufficient funding for the services hereunder in the budget approved by the County’s Board of Supervisors for each fiscal year covered by said contract. If such approval, funding, or appropriations are not forthcoming, or are otherwise limited, the contract may be immediately terminated, reduced or modified without penalty.

The County will select the proposal that presents the best value and is most advantageous to the County and the public. Accordingly, the County may not necessarily award the proposer with the lowest price proposal if doing so would not be in the overall best interest of the County. The County reserves the right to expand or reduce the proposed scope of work during the contract negotiations based on budget constraints and to award to a single or multiple proposers.
