About this file
This document is Bid Addendum No. 1 for Request for Bid No. CJO-6268 issued by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections on May 18, 2017, with responses due May 26, 2017. The addendum addresses questions regarding substance abuse counseling services at two Wisconsin correctional facilities: Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center in Union Grove and Taycheedah Correctional Institution in Fond du Lac. The incumbent vendor currently providing these services is Horizon Healthcare, Inc., whose existing contracts are expiring and prompting this rebid process.
The services under contract include three substance abuse counselors and their clinical supervisor(s) at REECC, with the clinical supervision costs included within the counselors' hourly rates rather than itemized separately. Historical expenditures show approximately $270,000 total spending in fiscal year 2015-2016 ($140,000 at REECC and $130,000 at TCI), with anticipated spending of $335,000 in fiscal year 2016-2017 ($205,000 at REECC and $130,000 at TCI). The Wisconsin DOC fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, and expenditure amounts fluctuate based on service position vacancies. The addendum also corrected a bid due date error from the original document, confirming May 26, 2017 as the correct submission deadline.

A.2.
This is an existing service. The contractor at TCI and REECC is Horizon Healthcare, Inc.
Q.3.
Has the service been put out for bid because the current contract is expiring or is it being bid at this time for another reason?
A.3.
The current service contracts are expiring and the reason for the bid.
Q.4.
What is the current fee structure for the incumbent vendor(s) currently providing these services?
A.4.
The current fee structure at REECC and TCI is an hourly rate of pay for each substance abuse counselor. The contractor’s cost for clinical supervision services are included within the counselors hourly rate of pay. It isn’t itemized separately on purchase orders or invoices currently.
Q.5.
What was the annual expenditure for these services ytd and for the previous calendar year?
A.5.
The DOC fiscal year runs from July 1st to the 30th of June. This is the timeline for our expenditure data. The Correctional Management Service Director (CMSD) was consulted and shared the following expenditure figures:
· From July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 about $140,000 was spent at REECC and about $130,000 was spent at TCI.
· From July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 it’s anticipated that about $205,000 will be spent at REECC and about $130,000 will be spent at TCI.
When service postions are vacant, it impacts the fiscal year expenditure amount.
Q.6.
Can you confirm if the due date is 5/26, as stated on the website or 4/26, as stated on page 1 of the bid document?
A.6.
The due date for bid responses was incorrectly entered as April 26, 2017 on the first page of the bid document, form DOA-3070. The due date on this form was corrected, and the corrected form was posted on VendorNet with a May 1, 2017 post date. A bid amendment was emailed to bidders on May 1, 2017 via VendorNet. The amendment notified bidders of the error and the correct bid response due date. The correct due date for bid responses is May 26, 2017 3:00 PM CT.
