FP In-Home Family Services Alcona-Iosco County

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is requesting proposals for in-home family services in Alcona and Iosco Counties under RFP 260000002426, with proposals due August 24, 2026.

The contract spans three years (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029) with equal annual awards of $75,000 per year, for a total contract value of $225,000 over the term. The scope is comprehensive family preservation and support programs designed to serve families within the two counties and support child welfare outcomes and family stability.

Bidders must submit a completed pricing schedule in modifiable format (Microsoft Word or Excel) as a separate document. The pricing proposal requires vendors to establish an hourly unit rate for in-home family services and allocate actual costs for transportation ($10,500 annually) and specific assistance services ($2,500 annually). Unit rates must encompass all direct and indirect costs, including mandated insurance, and the total annual proposed amount cannot exceed the $75,000 maximum award. Reimbursable travel costs, including mileage, meals, and lodging, are limited to the lesser of the State of Michigan premium rate or the contractor's usual employee reimbursement rate. Mileage reimbursement is permitted for client transportation, travel to client homes, court hearings at MDHHS request, and advocacy-related site visits, measured from the contractor's home or normal place of business, whichever is closer to the appointment location.

The RFP indicates that standard provisions regarding potential set-asides for minority or disadvantaged vendors are included in the full documentation, though specific set-aside details are not enumerated in the summaries provided. Prospective bidders should review the complete RFP for evaluation criteria, technical requirements, and submission procedures.
