Day Treatment and Day Rehabilitation Services

Tuolumne County Behavioral Health (TCBH), a division of the County of Tuolumne Health and Human Services Agency in California, is issuing Request for Proposal (RFP-2025-0115) to procure Day Treatment Intensive (DTI) and Day Rehabilitation Services for Medi-Cal members. The County seeks qualified organizations to provide half-day or full-day DTI and Day Rehabilitation Services designed to prevent hospitalization and support recovery in community settings for either the Children and Youth population (ages 12-17), the adult population (ages 18 and older), or both, with separate Statements of Qualifications required for each population served. Required services include treatment planning, skill building, therapy, psychosocial rehabilitation groups, process groups, adjunctive therapies (art, recreation, dance, and music), and psychotherapy provided by appropriately licensed staff, with key performance outcomes requiring programs to provide 100 percent of authorized services within 10 days and maintain a hospitalization rate of 25 percent or less within 60 days of discharge. Respondents must demonstrate minimum qualifications including an existing program operational for at least one year serving the same target population with services equivalent to full or half-day DTI or Day Rehabilitation, and must obtain Medi-Cal certification and comply with all state licensing requirements and Title 9 Sections 1840.350 and 1840.352 of the California Code of Regulations. Proposals will be evaluated on completeness (25 points), qualifications (20 points), service delivery methodology (25 points), and reasonable cost of service (30 points). The proposal deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 15, 2026, with electronic submissions required through Tuolumne County's e-Procurement platform; questions must be submitted by 12:00 p.m. on April 27, 2026, with the tentative notice of contract award scheduled for June 12, 2026, and a protest/appeal deadline of June 29, 2026.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond, nor does it identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. Respondents must maintain general liability, workers' compensation, auto liability, and professional liability insurance, and provide claims-made malpractice insurance with a retroactive date before contract commencement, with evidence of insurance to be maintained for five years after contract completion. The contract term is to be determined (TBD) with options for three one-year extensions upon mutual agreement, contingent on the county securing adequate funding, the contractor demonstrating success in meeting service requirements, and the contractor agreeing to modify services as needed. While proposed rates and budgets are expected in submissions, the actual fee schedule will be negotiated based on Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)-approved rates; if a fee cannot be negotiated with the highest-ranked proposer, the County reserves the right to discontinue negotiations and proceed to the next-ranked respondent. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents.
