RFP 6124 Addendum 6.pdf

This Addendum #6 to Request for Proposals 6124 amends the procurement timeline for Agency with Choice Services issued by the Oregon Department of Human Services and Oregon Health Authority. The primary modification extends the proposal submission deadline from August 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST to September 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM PST. The revised schedule indicates that the public opening of proposals will occur on approximately September 3, 2025, with the Notice of Intent to Award expected on approximately September 15, 2025. The protest period for the Notice of Intent to Award extends for seven calendar days following its issuance. Additionally, Attachment A containing "Definitions" has been re-inserted as an attachment to the RFP.

This addendum represents a modification to the original RFP timeline and does not alter the fundamental procurement parameters, including the maximum of four contracts with up to two successful proposers, the fully loaded Medicaid reimbursable hourly rate of $42.12 per hour for Direct Support Workers with a mandatory 85% minimum allocation to DSW compensation, or the 15% administrative fee cap. The revised schedule provides bidders with additional time to prepare comprehensive proposals for this significant home and community-based services procurement, which targets diverse business enterprises and requires compliance with extensive regulatory requirements, including labor relations documentation and pay equity compliance certifications for qualifying contracts.
