Appendix_E-_FY27_CAM_Team_Budget_and_Fee_Schedule.xlsx

This is a Budget and Fee Schedule Attachment (Appendix E) for the FY27 Coordinated Access Model (CAM) Team operational budget related to Pinellas County's Care About Me program in Florida. The document provides a template for proposers to submit comprehensive five-year budgets that include personnel expenses, operational costs, and associated narratives. The CAM Team will provide clinical behavioral health assessment services, program management, and multichannel intake processing through phone, text, chat, and email channels. Proposers are required to staff the CAM Team with clinical assessors, administrative personnel, and program management leadership to operate the county's behavioral health coordinated access system, with priority given to vendors who can onboard existing clinical staff from the current CAM pilot program.

The budget template requires proposers to account for Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) across all five fiscal years to maintain competitive compensation, financial sustainability, and operational stability. Personnel expenses must include position titles, full-time equivalents (FTEs), annual salaries for each year, and fringe benefit percentages and costs. Operational expenses are categorized across multiple line items including professional fees and licenses (with a sample entry showing $4,000 annually for contracted accounting, payroll processing, and accreditation membership), communications, direct services, food, insurance, rent/lease, repairs and maintenance, supplies and equipment, training and development, transportation, and utilities. The budget template is blank at submission, indicating proposers will populate actual figures based on their operational model and staffing requirements for delivering CAM services to Pinellas County.
