7-Attachment H Outreach - Nighttime and Outreach for Families (1).docx

This is an Attachment H organizational questionnaire document for the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement and Housing and Revitalization Department's Request for Proposals to provide Street Outreach Services, specifically the Nighttime and Outreach for Families program in Michigan. The questionnaire establishes evaluation criteria and required response questions across three primary attachments: Organizational & Financial Capacity, Proposed Approach, and Pricing and Budget. Respondents must address organizational capacity questions within a 300-word limit, including mission alignment with RFP services, organizational structure and leadership accountability, experience ramping up new programs with specific timelines for staff hiring and training, and methods for recruiting and retaining diverse qualified staff. The questionnaire specifies that awarded organizations must indicate the number of days needed post-contract start date to achieve full program operational status.

The financial capacity section requires respondents to address 300-word limit requirements covering financial management systems and conflict-of-interest prevention, organizational staffing and qualifications for financial management, experience managing funds from various sources including federal, state, local government and philanthropic funding, and reporting capabilities for finances and program activities. A critical operational requirement states that the contract is reimbursement-based, requiring organizations to submit billing packets for completed services and to demonstrate the ability to operate programming for a minimum of 90 days prior to receiving reimbursement. This requirement serves as a significant financial threshold for potential bidders.
