About this opportunity
Tuolumne County, through its Department of Social Services' Child Welfare Services, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP #RFP-2022-0058) to secure qualified individuals for providing full-time quality parenting and caregiving services for the Tuolumne County Resource Family Home (TCRFH). This 5,000 square foot facility will house up to eight children in foster care, requiring 24/7 caregiving services. Proposers must be approved or in the process of becoming a Resource Family, possess current first aid/CPR certification, maintain a valid California driver's license, and successfully pass background checks. The RFP was released on November 22, 2022, with proposals due by 4:00 pm on December 19, 2022. Evaluation criteria will assess proposal completeness, related experience, performance plan, personal interview, and references, with a total possible score of 101 points. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions for three additional one-year terms based on funding, contractor performance, and ongoing county needs.
The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Current County employees and CalPERS retirees face significant restrictions, including prohibitions on contracting if the proposed work is similar to their previous employment. The total monthly contractor payment is $3,948.00, with additional reimbursements including $120 monthly for internet and cable, base rate or Level of Care payments per child placed, annual homeowner's insurance, and coverage for phone lines, utilities, yard maintenance, and respite care. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The contract aligns with the California Partnership Plan for Children in Out-of-Home Care, which emphasizes a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to supporting foster children. The overall budget appears flexible, with compensation structured to accommodate varying numbers of children and specific care requirements.
Opportunity text
The County of Tuolumne, through its Department of Social Services, Child Welfare Services, hereinafter referred to as the "County," is requesting proposals from qualified individuals interested in providing full-time quality parenting and caregiving responsibilities for children placed in the Tuolumne County Resource Family Home (TCRFH).

The TCRFH must be able to receive children twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week.
The County intends to award one contract or a combination of contracts to meet the needs of Tuolumne County Resource Family Home (TCRFH) operations.
California and federal law provide specific employment restrictions for retirees and/or current County employees who desire to contract with the County.
For CalPERS retirees: If the work you will perform as a contractor is the same or similar to work you performed as an active employee or is work that is performed by active employees, it is most likely subject to the PERS retired annuitant restrictions, meaning the employment is disallowed and the County will not be able to enter into a contract with you.
For current County employees: California and federal law prohibit a current employee from contracting with its employer while being an active employee. If an employee is interested in becoming an independent contractor, the employee must consider separation from employment with the County, however, should the employee retire, he/she may be subject to the CalPERS retired annuitant laws. Should a current County employee respond to an RFP while in active employment status, the employee must separate from employment prior to award of the contract.
No County time is allowed to be used to prepare for or work on a response to a County RFP.
