Addendum No. 02 to DCF RFP 2425 025

This is an addendum document issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Licensing, amending the Request for Proposals for Child Care Training Curriculum and Exam Services. Addendum No. 02, dated August 22, 2025, was posted one day after the original response deadline of August 21, 2025, and clarifies the financial scoring methodology for the solicitation. The amendment specifies that financial evaluation will utilize a comparative cost formula to award points, with the scoring calculation defined as (N/X) × Y = Z, where N represents the lowest costs received among all responses, X represents each respondent's costs, Y represents the maximum cost points awarded for the financial scoring portion (200 points), and Z represents the points awarded to each respondent. This pricing-based evaluation mechanism applies to a procurement with an anticipated contract value not to exceed $1,995,576.00 and a contract term beginning January 1, 2026, for two years.

The addendum does not introduce new pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements but rather clarifies the existing evaluation criteria. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain in effect, with this amendment serving to ensure transparent and equitable evaluation of responses based on comparative cost analysis. The timing of this addendum posting—after the initial response deadline—suggests potential procedural modifications may have been necessary, as referenced in subsequent addenda through Addendum No. 09 posted January 12, 2026, indicating multiple timeline updates throughout the procurement process.
