The selected vendor must provide comprehensive crisis services, including 24/7/365 residential care, meals, nursing coverage, and adherence to state and federal regulations. The evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point scoring system, with 30 points for understanding the scope of work, 30 points for experience and qualifications, 20 points for management plan, and 20 points for cost proposal. The state prioritizes proposals demonstrating substantial experience in mobile crisis services, with a minimum requirement of five years serving adults, children, and families in crisis.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. However, the state does note a preference for resident North Dakota vendors in cases of identical pricing or evaluation scores.
