Attachment 2 - Sample Budget.xlsx

This document is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the South Dakota Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) for the administration of the Communication Assistance Program. The RFP seeks full-service, confidential, and statewide communication support services to eligible individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing to achieve increased integration into the community and workplace, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The RFP covers a range of service categories, including Community Integration Skills Training, Communication Assistance, Deaf Awareness Presentations/Trainings, Information and Referral, Family Communication Assistance, Peer Support, Technical Assistance/Consultation, and Training, with projected unit totals and rates for the 5-year period from FY2020 to FY2024. No inquiries will be accepted after the date indicated, and all inquiries and the State's responses will be posted on the state's e-procurement system.

The projected budget for FY2024 is approximately $359,821, with an anticipated unit rate of $19.70 per service unit. The RFP does not mention any set-asides or incumbents, but it does note that the Family Communication Assistance service was delayed due to COVID-19 and staff turnover, and will start with a lower number of units until staff is fully trained, with an expected increase to 2,400 units at that time.
