This is a budget worksheet template for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) for Sobering Center Services, with Addendum No. 1 issued on July 24, 2026. The RFP seeks proposals to operate a 14-bed sobering center facility providing 24/7 intake, admissions, medical and behavioral health monitoring, substance use assessment, case management, and discharge planning services for adults experiencing acute alcohol and/or drug intoxication in a less-than-24-hour setting. Proposals are due August 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with interviews tentatively scheduled for the week of August 24, 2026, and anticipated contract award on December 1, 2026. The contract term is three years with two optional one-year extensions at the County's discretion. Proposers must demonstrate three years of experience in substance use disorder or related services within the past five years and maintain registration with the System for Award Management (SAM).

The budget worksheet template requires proposers to submit detailed three-year budgets encompassing direct expenditures (personnel, operating costs, and indirect expenses calculated at 15%), revenues from grants and donations, and one-time start-up costs. The County anticipates a braided funding model with County BHRS supporting a portion of start-up and operational costs, while contractors must independently pursue funding from local law enforcement jurisdictions, Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans, grants, hospital community benefits, and philanthropy. Local businesses and non-profits receive procurement preference points of 5–10 depending on business size classification under San Mateo County ordinance. Proposers must maintain $1 million minimum liability insurance, comply with California prevailing wage and living wage ordinances, achieve quality assurance processes with audit disallowance rates below 5%, and submit cultural competency planning and disaster response plans within 90 days of contract commencement. The evaluation criteria weighted at 100 points include firm experience and qualifications (30 points), staffing (25 points), approach to services (20 points), fee and budget proposal (15 points), interviews if conducted (10 points), and local preference (5–10 points).
