Gun Violence Reduction Strategy #2022-49

The City of Green Bay is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Gun Violence Reduction Strategy, seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive technical assistance and consultation services to develop and implement a violence prevention initiative. The primary objectives include creating an Office of Violence Prevention, providing training and technical assistance for intervention and outreach workers, designing intervention service protocols, and coordinating shooting reviews with multiple law enforcement entities including police, sheriff, jail, probation, and parole representatives. Vendors must demonstrate five years of proven success implementing similar work and will be evaluated on a 100-point scoring system that includes Organizational Capabilities (30 points), Staff Qualifications (25 points), Proposal Requirements (15 points), Price (20 points), and References (10 points). The RFP was issued on October 19, 2022, with questions due by November 17, 2022, and proposals due by November 24, 2022, at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time. Proposers are required to submit one original and two copies of their proposal, along with an electronic version on a USB flash drive or CD, to the City of Green Bay Purchasing Department.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Proposers must provide a Standard General Liability Insurance Certificate before commencing work and submit comprehensive documentation including Forms A through F, which cover elements such as a Signature Affidavit, Vendor Profile, and References. While no specific funding amounts or incumbent vendor information are disclosed, the City reserves the right to negotiate contract terms with the highest-scoring proposer, request best and final offers, and potentially award the contract partially or in whole. The pricing structure requires an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed, fixed fee submitted in a separate sealed envelope, with cost proposals scored by prorating the lowest cost proposal as the highest score. The City does not guarantee any specific purchase quantity or dollar amount, emphasizing the need for flexibility in the proposed solution. Prospective vendors are advised to monitor VendorNet and DemandStar for potential addenda, with failure to acknowledge such addenda potentially resulting in disqualification.
