Attachment VIII - Revised.pdf

This is a pricing schedule attachment for an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Substance Abuse and Mental Health (SAMH), for the operation of the South Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center (SFETC) in Florida City. The ITN seeks a single qualified respondent to provide comprehensive forensic mental health services for adults and juveniles adjudicated as adults who have been committed under Chapter 916, Florida Statutes, as either Incompetent to Proceed (ITP) or Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGI). Services encompass full facility operations including management, facility maintenance, security, substance abuse treatment, and mental health treatment. The facility maintains 249 available beds throughout all contract periods. The initial contract term spans five years from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, with a potential five-year renewal period from July 1, 2031, through June 30, 2036. A mandatory pre-solicitation conference was held on July 16, 2025, with proposal responses originally due October 8, 2025; multiple addenda have been issued through November 18, 2025, updating timelines and providing departmental responses to bidder questions.

The pricing schedule requires respondents to propose a bed day rate for each contract year, calculating annual totals based on 249 beds multiplied by the number of days in each year (365 or 366 days) and the proposed unit cost. The anticipated annual budget does not exceed $32,006,062, representing the current market rate for similar forensic mental health facility operations. The contract is funded through general revenue appropriations. The current facility operator, Wellpath Recovery Solutions, has a contract expiring in December 2025, indicating an operational transition. The Department will establish a major repair and replacement reserve fund with $8,500 monthly set aside for equipment and property repairs exceeding $100,000. The successful respondent bears responsibility for all start-up and readiness costs with no additional funds allocated for these activities. The ITN encourages participation from Woman-, Veteran-, and Minority-owned small businesses, and the Department reserves the right to select one or more respondents, divide work among respondents, or reject all responses.
