This document is an Amendment #1 to Request for Proposal (RFP) 2400000000995 issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Grants and Purchasing for Family Together Building Solution (FTBS) Services in Branch County. The amendment updates the Unit Definition in Section 2.3 to include required training time in the billable unit, which is defined as one hour of the contractor's time providing face-to-face contacts with referred families, travel time to and from contacts and training, and any non-face-to-face case-related activities. The amendment also extends the RFP submission deadline from February 29, 2024, to March 14, 2024.

The FTBS program seeks to reduce future maltreatment and prevent unnecessary placement of children in foster care by providing strengths-based, solution-focused intervention and support services to families in Branch County with substantiated claims of neglect or abuse. The contract will support the Michigan Children's Service Administration's goal to keep children safely with their families whenever possible. The unit rate calculations must consider all direct and indirect costs, including overhead, insurance, managerial/supervisory wages, and non-face-to-face activities.
