PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - CBOs ONLY

The DeKalb County Board of Health (DCBOH) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Physical Activity initiative. The DCBOH, through its Health Assessment and Promotion Department, is seeking qualified community-based organizations (CBOs) to assist with a community assessment to identify areas for improvement to increase access to physical activity through community design changes. The selected CBOs will receive funding to support this assessment, with the award period running from contract execution through September 27, 2024. Respondents must submit their proposals by April 30, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. EST via email. The DCBOH will evaluate grant applications based on weighted criteria and award contracts to responsible proposers whose proposals are most advantageous to the DCBOH. The selected CBOs will be responsible for submitting reports on the built environment issues and proposed improvements, as well as supporting DCBOH's evaluation data collection and requirements. The DCBOH will provide resources, feedback, and technical assistance to the selected organizations, and payments will be made on a reimbursement basis after receipt and acceptance of itemized invoices. The DCBOH reserves the right to renew the contract for up to three additional one-year terms.

This opportunity is specifically for community-based organizations with prior experience working with the DCBOH. The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP also does not provide any information on incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not specify any award values or budget ranges.
