3-RFP 25-057 ADDENDUM 1.pdf

This document is an Addendum (#1) for a Request for Proposal (RFP 25-057) issued by Galveston County, Texas, specifically for the Galveston County Guardianship Program. The addendum provides clarifying information for prospective proposers, addressing specific questions about the guardianship services. The program serves adults deemed incapacitated by probate courts who are no longer able to care for themselves, with guardians responsible for overseeing the daily needs, medical care, housing, financial support, and property management of their wards.

The solicitation requires a $250,000 surety bond, with equivalent insurance coverage including employee dishonesty, theft of client property, computer fraud, and funds transfer fraud protections. Proposers must bill Medicaid for qualified individuals and will not be reimbursed for services covered under separate contracts with agencies like Adult Protective Services, Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, or Gulf Coast Mental Health. The RFP allows for collecting fees from non-contractual sources such as Medicaid Applied Income or guardianship commissions. Guardians are expected to file annual reports with the Probate Court and provide monthly documentation and expense reports to the County Auditor.
