About this file

This document is a respondent questionnaire (Attachment A) for an RFP issued by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of the Housing and Revitalization Department (HRD) for RFP#545307. The RFP seeks qualified organizations to operate one or more engagement centers (sobering centers) that provide short-term, safe, supervised environments for individuals experiencing acute intoxication or impairment from substance or polysubstance use. The questionnaire requires respondents to provide comprehensive information organized into five main sections: respondent experience and organization details, statement of qualifications addressing experience with engagement centers and related services, financial management capacity, prior experience with references, and details regarding any subcontractors. Specific requirements include demonstrating experience providing acute care and stabilization services for individuals with active substance use, ability to accept same-day or walk-in referrals, experience serving unsheltered populations with substance or alcohol use challenges, and evidence of running or working with programs combining crisis stabilization, harm reduction, housing services, and other support services.

The financial management section requires respondents to describe their experience managing grant funds, document their financial management systems and staffing qualifications, provide evidence of reporting capabilities for grant compliance, and confirm possession of at least 90 days of operating cash on hand given the contract's monthly reimbursement structure. Respondents must provide at least two references from the last five years demonstrating relevant experience managing contracts of similar size and scope, and must disclose any subcontractors with supporting reference information. Additional requirements include disclosure of current and past City of Detroit contracts or grants, any claims or lawsuits from services provided in the last ten years, project terminations, and whether the agency has expended $750,000 or more in federal funds annually, with submission of the latest Single Audit if applicable. Responses to qualification and experience questions are subject to specified word limits, with penalties applied to responses exceeding limits.
