This is a Budget Template for RFP No. 2026-RFP-00370 issued by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office for Jail Programs and Services at the Maguire Correctional Facility and Maple Street Correction Center in Redwood City, California. The template is designed for proposers to submit pricing across three contract years for multiple program categories including Education and Literacy, Vocational Training, Cognitive Behavioral Interventions (CBI), Chaplaincy Services, and Other Jail Services. Bidders must structure their proposals using unit-based pricing, specifying unit types (course, cycle, single class, or hour), cost per unit, and quantities for each year. The template accommodates line items for program operating costs, materials and supplies such as course-related resources and workbooks, and program coordination fees presented as flat fees. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 9, 2026, with a deadline for questions and contract exceptions on March 16, 2026, and proposal submission deadline at 5:00 p.m. on March 23, 2026. Tentative interviews are scheduled for March 30, 2026, with an anticipated contract award date of July 1, 2026. The resulting agreement shall have an initial term of one year with one optional extension period not to exceed two years, exercisable at the County's sole discretion.

The Budget Template requires vendors to propose their own pricing without a specified budget ceiling or total funding cap, with contract values potentially falling above or below the $200,000 threshold based on vendor proposals. Selected contractors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000, motor vehicle liability insurance of $1,000,000, and professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 with the County named as additional insured. San Mateo County's Procurement Preference Ordinance provides preferential scoring of five percent for Local Businesses or Local Non-Profits, with an additional three percent preference for Small Businesses or Small Non-Profits (eight percent total) or five percent preference for Micro Businesses or Micro Non-Profits (ten percent total). All proposers must demonstrate a minimum of four years of similar service experience within the last seven years, provide an account manager with at least two years of relevant experience, and be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with a Unique Entity ID. Evaluation criteria include Technical Proposal and Scope of Work (40 points), Firm Qualifications (15 points), Team Qualifications (10 points), Price (25 points), and Preferential Points (10 points).
