Peer Delivered Support Services

Clackamas County, Oregon is soliciting proposals for Peer Delivered Support Services through RFP #2024-95, seeking qualified programs and organizations to provide embedded peer support specialists across six distinct mental health and substance use programs. These programs include the Choice Program, Aid & Assist, Mobile Crisis Response Team, Mental Health Center, Intensive Care Coordination, and Older Adults services, targeting support for adults, children, youth, and families. The county intends to award multiple contracts with a performance period from the effective date through December 31, 2026, with a potential renewal option extending to June 30, 2029. Proposals must be submitted electronically through Bid Locker by November 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation criteria will assess proposers based on five key areas: Proposer's General Information (20 points), Program Design/Strategy/Capacity (25 points), Staffing Plan/Training (25 points), Quality Assurance (15 points), and Budget Proposal (15 points).

The county encourages proposals from Minority, Women, Veteran, and Emerging Small Businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, each program component has defined minimum staffing requirements and budgetary considerations. The initial Notice of Intent to Award reveals Folk Time, Inc. as the apparent successful proposer, having scored consistently high across all six project components (ranging from 90.14 to 92.43 points). Contractors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements and provide detailed programmatic and financial reporting. The procurement allows for potential protests by unsuccessful bidders, with a seven-calendar-day protest period following the Notice of Intent to Award. Clackamas County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive informalities in the public interest, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process.
