The total contract value is $500,000 annually with a three-year term and options to extend for two additional years at the same annual rate, subject to fund availability. Preferred contractor qualifications include 3-5 years of experience in youth-focused crime prevention programming, cultural competency in high-crime neighborhoods, grant project management experience, and established partnerships with schools, law enforcement, and community organizations. The procurement mandates Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and small business participation requirements, with contractors required to track and report DBE participation through the City's Certification and Compliance System and demonstrate good faith efforts in engaging DBE firms.
