This is a Proposal Checklist for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of California Department of General Services, Procurement Division (DGS-PD), for Temporary Healthcare Staffing Services (Event ID 5259947). The RFP seeks to establish multi-year Master Service Agreements with qualified firms to provide temporary healthcare staffing services to California state agencies statewide across ten regions, with awards made by region and healthcare group. The scope includes 25 Healthcare Groups consisting of 45 Temporary Healthcare Provider Personnel classifications. The proposed contract term is five years with one optional two-year extension. The checklist identifies all required and requested submission items organized into two volumes: Volume 1 contains proposal narrative components including the Proposal Checklist, Agreement Cover Letter, Narrative Response (Attachment 3), Customer References (Attachment 4), Proposing Regions and Healthcare Groups (Attachment 5), and certifications related to California Civil Rights Laws and Bidder Declarations, along with additional documentation to be provided within five working days after state notification; Volume 2 requires submission of the Cost Workbook (Attachment 2) as a separate attachment.

The checklist emphasizes that all identified items are mandatory unless otherwise noted, though the State does not guarantee the checklist is comprehensive and proposers must review the entire RFP documentation. Proposers must submit required certifications and declarations including the Contractor Certification Clauses, Darfur Contracting Act Certification (if applicable), Federal Debarment Certification, Fictitious Business Name Statement (if applicable), Payee Data Record (STD 204), Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Declaration Form, and Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Worksheets (if applicable). The RFP indicates that awarded MSAs will be mandatory for use by California state agencies and available for use by local government agencies, establishing a statewide staffing resource framework.
