13-DHHS26105 Score Sheet.xlsx

This is an RFP evaluation scoresheet for DHHS Residential Solicitation #26105, issued by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to procure residential treatment services for persons with serious emotional or behavioral disorders or disturbances. The scoresheet establishes the framework for evaluating vendor proposals across mandatory requirements and technical criteria. Mandatory requirements include: offerors must maintain a physical facility located in Utah, obtain a current DHHS Office of Licensing license for residential treatment or intermediate secure care prior to contract start, demonstrate two years of experience serving similar populations, and maintain an existing Clinical Evaluation, Treatment, Wrap Services and Forensic Evaluations contract that includes psychotherapy services, pharmacological evaluation and management, psychosocial rehabilitation, therapeutic behavioral services, mentoring, day treatment, and clinical consultation.

The technical evaluation criteria are weighted across seven scoreable areas worth a combined 350 possible points, including applicant program descriptions (admission criteria adherence, length of stay alignment, evidence-based treatment models, and behavior intervention systems), family engagement (family treatment and visitation/contact), and aftercare planning. Evaluators score proposals on a 0-5 scale, with specific service codes identified for pass/fail determination covering moderate and high problematic sexual behaviors, substance use disorder treatment, and moderate to high mental health behavioral services. Cost evaluation will be calculated using a comparative formula where the lowest proposed price receives 100 percent of cost points, with offerors exceeding double the lowest price receiving no points. The evaluation panel consists of up to five evaluators whose scores are averaged and totaled to determine final vendor rankings and contract award.
