ADD NO 2 DCF RFP 2425 025.pdf

This is Addendum No. 02 to Request for Proposals 2425 025 issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Licensing, for Child Care Training Curriculum and Exam Services. The addendum, dated August 22, 2025, modifies the financial scoring methodology for evaluating responses to the solicitation. The original response due date was August 21, 2025. The project involves developing, maintaining, and enhancing child care training curriculum modules for online and instructor-led delivery, along with corresponding competency exams and systems integration with the Child Care Resource and Information Network (CCRAIN). The anticipated contract start date is January 1, 2026, with a two-year duration. The total contract value is not to exceed $1,995,576.00, structured as a fixed-price agreement with pricing varying based on course length and specific development tasks.

The financial scoring formula established in this addendum is: (N/X) × Y = Z, where N represents the lowest costs received among all responses, X represents the respondent's costs, Y represents the maximum cost points awarded (200 points), and Z represents the points awarded for the financial scoring portion. This methodology ensures that the lowest-cost proposal receives the maximum 200 points, with other proposals scored proportionally based on their cost relative to the lowest bid. Performance standards require 100% task completion, quarterly reporting, and system functionality maintenance at a minimum 97% operational level, with financial penalties including a 5% reduction of quarterly invoices for unaccepted deliverables. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned in this addendum.
