About this opportunity

Augusta-Richmond County is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive annual mental wellness and stabilization program serving approximately 1,500 public safety personnel across eight departments (Fire Department, Sheriff's Office, Marshal's Office, E911 Communications, Coroner's Office, Regional Airport Fire, Animal Control, and County Correctional Institution), with proposals due August 19, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and an optional pre-proposal conference on August 3, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.

The scope is a clinician-led, preventative mental health program delivering mandatory annual wellness visits (offered in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions), evidence-based psychological assessments, psychoeducation, stabilization pathways with up to 10 follow-up sessions per participant annually, telehealth capabilities, crisis referral coordination, and comprehensive reporting. The proposer must be an in-network provider with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield or provide alternative integration details, with direct billing to insurance and zero out-of-pocket costs guaranteed for mandatory visits. Monthly utilization reports and a year-end impact analysis are required deliverables. The contract term is annual.

Pricing must be submitted separately in a sealed envelope with line-item costs for mandatory wellness visits, follow-up sessions, telehealth services, monthly reports, annual analysis, scheduling platform, and administrative or billing services. Cost is non-weighted in evaluation. No local small business set-asides apply.

Evaluation emphasizes completeness of response (pass/fail), qualifications and experience (15 points), organizational approach (15 points), scope of services (20 points), schedule (5 points), financial stability (5 points), references (5 points), team presentation (10 points), and Q&A response (5 points). Proximity to Richmond County provides additional non-weighted points. Proposers must submit notarized Exhibit A documentation, E-Verify compliance affidavits, SAVE program verification, and conflict-of-interest statements. Submissions require one original unbound document and one electronic copy on a USB drive, delivered to Andy Penick, Procurement Director, 535 Telfair Street, Suite 605, Augusta, Georgia 30901.

Opportunity text

Augusta, GA (the "City") is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Annual Mental Wellness Program. This initiative is a clinician-led, preventative model aimed at psychological stabilization and resilience for first responders. The City recognizes that public safety personnel are exposed to high-frequency trauma. This program is designed to identify stress injuries early, similar to a physical "preventative maintenance" schedule, to reduce long-term disability, burnout, and crisis-level events.
