ADD NO 2 DCF RFP 2425 025.pdf

Addendum No. 02 to DCF RFP 2425 025, issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Licensing, amends the solicitation for Child Care Training Curriculum and Exam Services. The original response deadline was August 21, 2025, with this addendum posted on August 22, 2025. The solicitation seeks a contractor to develop, maintain, and enhance child care training curriculum modules and competency exams for online and instructor-led delivery, supporting the Child Care Resource and Information Network (CCRAIN) system. The anticipated contract duration is two years, with a start date of January 1, 2026, and a maximum contract value not to exceed $1,995,576.00. Multiple addenda have been issued through January 12, 2026, to update project timelines.

Addendum No. 02 specifically modifies Section 5.2.2 Financial Scoring by establishing a formula for evaluating the financial portion of proposals. The formula (N/X) x Y = Z applies the lowest cost received (N) divided by the respondent's cost (X), multiplied by the maximum cost points awarded (Y = 200), to calculate the financial scoring points (Z). The contract structure includes fixed pricing across multiple task categories, with financial penalties of 5% reduction on quarterly invoices for unaccepted deliverables. Performance requirements include 100% task completion, quarterly reporting, and system maintenance at a minimum 97% operational level. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned in this addendum, and respondents must demonstrate extensive experience developing training curricula and competency exams while integrating with the existing CCRAIN system.
