This document is an Addendum #2 for RFP 2510-003 issued by the Travis County Healthcare District, doing business as Central Health, for an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to provide consultation, counseling, referrals, training, and critical incident response services to its approximately 1,900 full-time employees. The initial contract term is 2 years with optional 4 one-year renewal periods, and proposals are due by December 30, 2024 at 2:00 PM Central Time. The evaluation criteria include the proposer's ability to perform the required services, quality, service offerings, cost, and innovation. Central Health reserves the right to negotiate pricing and terms, make multiple awards, or not award a contract at all.

The current EAP provider is Deer Oaks. This solicitation does not mention a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) set-aside, but the HUB Form indicates that Central Health has a policy to include HUBs in its procurement process and provide equal opportunities for HUB participation. The solicitation also does not specify a funding source. While no incumbent vendor is listed, the sample contract provided suggests that Central Health has ongoing contractual relationships with various healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and government entities, and is seeking transparency around any potential conflicts of interest or financial entanglements that consultants may have.
