UPDATED COST PROPOSAL Addend.docx

This is an Updated Cost Proposal Addendum for the Florida Department of Children and Families' Workforce Leadership Development and Behavioral Outcomes Training contract. The proposal outlines a hybrid pricing model combining fixed-price deliverables and cost-reimbursable components across a four-year contract period. Fixed-price deliverables include a Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis, Initial and Annual Training Plans, and Quarterly Reports, which will be compensated upon satisfactory completion and acceptance by the Department. The contract encompasses workforce leadership training delivery across six state regions, with training targeted at Program Administrators, Operations Managers, Family Navigators, and leadership personnel. Training will be delivered through in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats with up to six sessions per region annually. Additional services include annual coaching and consultation reports, assessments and surveys, and hourly consulting rates for services outside fixed deliverables. The contract is structured to begin November 1, 2025, with an initial three-year term followed by a fourth-year option.

The Cost Proposal employs a hybrid pricing structure with specific fixed amounts designated for Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis, Training Plans, and Quarterly Reports in Years 1-4, while Workforce Leadership Training Delivery is structured as cost-reimbursable based on actual verified invoiced expenses determined by approved Training Plans. Hourly consulting and coaching rates are provided in a separate table and must be pre-approved by the Department prior to use. All costs must comply with applicable Florida state travel and procurement regulations, including Section 112.061, Florida Statutes. The contract includes financial consequences of $100 daily penalties for late report submissions or missed deliverable deadlines. Vendors must ensure clarity, transparency, and consistency in cost entries and submit detailed invoices with supporting documentation for reimbursement in accordance with state guidelines and contract terms. Performance metrics require vendors to demonstrate an 85% knowledge increase in post-training assessments and 80% attendee satisfaction.
