About this opportunity
The South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS), specifically the Division of Child Protection Services (CPS), is seeking proposals for Family Time and Transportation services in Aberdeen, Brown County. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits a contractor to provide supervised family time services in a child and family-friendly setting for families whose children have been removed from the home and placed in CPS custody. The primary objectives include promoting family reunification, offering supervised visitation, and providing transportation for children and parents to and from family time services and CPS-related appointments. In the previous fiscal year, CPS documented 1,477 hours of supervised family time and 252 hours of transportation. The proposal evaluation will consider factors such as familiarity with the project locale, expertise, capabilities, availability, past performance, and proposed project management techniques. The RFP is due on April 26, 2023, at 5:00 PM CST, with a contract term from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, and potential renewal options for up to three additional one-year terms. Potential offerors must submit email inquiries to Kirsten.Smart@state.sd.us with the specific subject line "23RFP8589 Questions" by the designated deadline.
The RFP does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The budget attachment indicates all line items are currently listed at $0, and the indirect cost rate is 0%, suggesting the state may have specific budgetary constraints or expectations for cost structure. While the RFP requests proposed rates for mileage, transportation, and supervised family time services, it does not provide a specific award value or comprehensive budget range. Offerors are required to provide detailed billing procedures to document the services provided. The contract opportunity appears to be structured to allow flexibility for potential service providers while maintaining a clear focus on supporting CPS-referred families through supervised visitation and transportation services in the Aberdeen area.
