Logic_Model_Guidance.docx

This Logic Model Guidance document provides a framework template for Pinellas County, Florida, to structure program evaluation and planning for its indigent burial and cremation services contract. The guidance outlines a comprehensive logic model approach requiring bidders to define program inputs (staffing, technology, training, and funding resources), core activities (service delivery methods and frequency), target populations (approximately 1,060 annual service calls encompassing 720 claimed and unclaimed human remains including 650 adults, 50 veterans, and 20 stillborn or infant cases), and monthly quantitative and qualitative metrics directly tied to program operations. Proposals are due April 14, 2026, at 3:00 PM via the OpenGov procurement website, with questions due by March 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM. No site visits or pre-conference bidder meetings are scheduled. The contract term is five years from the award date with evaluation based on qualifications (35 percent), scope of work (25 percent), deliverables (25 percent), and compensation (15 percent).

The guidance requires bidders to identify measurable outcomes reflecting specific changes in service delivery and client impact, with outcomes articulated as results rather than activities or processes. Bidders must demonstrate minimum qualifications including a current Florida funeral director license, FDEP-certified incinerator facility, refrigerated storage capacity for up to 100 concurrent bodies, and five years of governmental contract experience. The annual funding estimate does not exceed $550,000 with pricing capped at $30,000 total annual bid. Bidders must carry $1,000,000 commercial general liability insurance, $1,000,000 professional liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Florida law. The solicitation is open to all qualified providers located within Pinellas County meeting minimum qualifications without set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, and requires execution of a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit, Human Trafficking Affidavit, and Common Carrier Attestation.
