ADD NO 2 DCF RFP 2425 025.pdf

This is Addendum No. 02 to DCF RFP 2425 025, issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Licensing, pertaining to Child Care Training Curriculum and Exam Services. The addendum was issued on August 22, 2025, one day after the original response deadline of August 21, 2025, and amends Section 5.2.2 regarding the financial scoring methodology for the solicitation. The amendment establishes a competitive financial evaluation formula that awards points based on comparative cost analysis, where the lowest-cost proposal receives the maximum available financial points, and all other proposals receive proportionally fewer points according to the formula: (N/X) x Y = Z, with N representing the lowest costs received, X representing the respondent's costs, Y representing the maximum cost points awarded (200 points), and Z representing the final points awarded for the financial scoring portion.

The addendum does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources, as its sole purpose is to clarify the financial evaluation methodology. Respondents should note that this amendment was issued after the original response deadline, and the inclusion of this formula revision indicates that all responses will be re-evaluated using this standardized financial scoring approach to ensure equitable comparison of proposals based on cost competitiveness relative to the lowest submitted bid.
