ADD NO 2 DCF RFP 2425 025.pdf

Addendum No. 02 to DCF RFP 2425 025 is an amendment issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Licensing, for the Child Care Training Curriculum and Exam Services solicitation. This addendum, dated August 22, 2025, modifies Section 5.2.2 regarding financial scoring methodology for proposals submitted in response to the RFP. The original response deadline was August 21, 2025, and the solicitation seeks a contractor to develop, maintain, and enhance child care training curriculum modules and competency exams for both online and instructor-led formats to support 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.

The financial scoring formula established in this addendum uses the calculation (N/X) x Y = Z, where N represents the lowest costs received from all responses, X represents the respondent's costs, Y represents the maximum cost points awarded for the financial scoring portion (200 points), and Z represents the final points awarded for the financial scoring portion. This formula-based approach ensures comparative cost evaluation among all submitted proposals. The solicitation is structured as a fixed-price agreement with pricing varying based on course length and specific development tasks, including project planning, course development, assessment maintenance, translation coordination, and technical support. Performance standards require 100% task completion, quarterly reporting, and a minimum 97% system operational level, with financial penalties of 5% reduction on quarterly invoices for unaccepted deliverables.
