I. About this Document
This document is a Request for Proposal. It differs from a Request for Bid or Quotation in that the county is seeking a solution,
as described on the cover page and in the following Background Information section, not a bid or quotation meeting firm
specifications for the lowest price. As such, the lowest price proposed will not guarantee an award recommendation. As
defined in Charter Resolution No. 68, Competitive Sealed Proposals will be evaluated based upon criteria formulated around
the most important features of the product(s) and/or service(s), of which quality, testing, references, service, availability or
capability, may be overriding factors, and price may not be determinative in the issuance of a contract or award. The proposal
evaluation criteria should be viewed as standards that measure how well a vendor's approach meets the desired requirements
and needs of the county. Criteria that will be used and considered in evaluation for award are set forth in this document. The
county will thoroughly review all proposals received. The county will also utilize its best judgment when determining whether
to schedule a pre-proposal conference, before proposals are accepted, or meetings with vendors, after receipt of all proposals.
A Purchase Order/Contract will be awarded to one or more qualified vendor(s) submitting the best proposals. Sedgwick
County reserves the right to select, and subsequently recommend for award, the proposed service(s) and/or product(s)
which best meets its required needs, quality levels and budget constraints.
The nature of this work is for a public entity and will require the expenditure of public funds and/or use of public
facilities, therefore the successful proposer will understand that portions (potentially all) of their proposal may become
public record at any time after receipt of proposals. Proposal responses, purchase orders and final contracts are subject to
public disclosure after award. All confidential or proprietary information should be clearly denoted in proposal responses
and responders should understand this information will be considered prior to release, however no guarantee is made that
information will be withheld from public view.
II. Background
Sedgwick County, located in south-central Kansas, is the second most populous of Kansas' 105 counties. It is the 16th
largest county in area, with 1,008 square miles and has a total population of 525,525, according to 2022 U.S. Census
estimates. A majority of this population (396,192) live in Wichita, the largest city in Kansas. Organizationally, the county
is a Commission/Manager entity, employs about 2,500 persons, and hosts or provides a full range of municipal services,
e.g. - public safety, public works, criminal justice, recreation, entertainment, cultural, human/social, and education.
The Sedgwick County Health Department has more than 110,000 patient encounters each year, including in the following
Wichita locations: Tuberculosis (TB) Clinic - 1900 E. 9th (ZIP Code 67214); West Central clinic - 2716 W. Central
(67203); and two (2) Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) locations - 1900 E. 9th (67214) and 1131 S. Clifton (67218).
Medical services are provided in person. During normal operations, most positions are not driving positions; TB Control
and Immunizations mobile clinic are exceptions. Driving is within Sedgwick County. Some Medical Assistant roles
require extensive data entry. In general, the Sedgwick County Health Department uses temporary agency employees to fill
critical medical positions that are vacant for an extended period and may use temporary agency employees during a public
health emergency such as a disease outbreak or pandemic that requires work beyond the capacity of the current Sedgwick
County staffing levels. The latter is rare.
COMCARE of Sedgwick County is a licensed community mental health center and licensed alcohol and drug treatment
provider serving Sedgwick County, Kansas. Each year, COMCARE provides services to approximately 12,000
individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health and behavioral health needs.
While COMCARE does not currently utilize temporary agency staff, the organization may contract with medical
professionals in the future to fill critical clinical roles within its 24-hour facility.
Sedgwick County's public health and behavioral health services are critical to the wellbeing of more than 525,000
residents. Regular timely and reliable staffing is essential for responding to public health emergencies, scheduled
community health events, and ensuring crisis support and medical services. Temporary staffing helps Sedgwick County
maintain continuity of care and essential medical services, especially during peak demand or employee absences and
ensures compliance with HIPAA, OSHA, and local/state health regulations.

performance expectations to support public safety, quality of care, and operational continuity.
The county is seeking proposals from firms with a proven track record in delivering qualified, responsive, and compliant
temporary medical staffing solutions for governmental or health-based organizations. County purchases under contracts
