STATEMENT OF WORK
A. INTENT
It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe Refugee Social Integration Services being requested by the Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA).
The County intends to award a three (3) year contract, with the option to renew for two (2) additional years, to the Bidder selected as the most responsible Bidder whose response conforms to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and meets the County’s requirements. Specific requirements of Refugee Social Integration Services related to this RFP are included in the appropriate sections.
B. SCOPE
Prospective vendors must demonstrate they have the expertise, experience, and qualifications to provide Social Integration (SI) or social adjustment services specifically to limited or non-English proficient refugee program participants.
SI is the multi-dimensional process by which newcomers or individuals from minority populations are incorporated into the social, economic, and cultural structure of the host society. SI services are defined as services designed for adults experiencing adjustment difficulties of a psychological, intellectual, social, or physical nature. Activities are directed at assisting refugees to understand how to utilize and develop daily living and problem-solving skills. SI services may be provided on an individual basis or through workshops. ACSSA is interested in contracting with a vendor to provide SI services to the following groups of refugees who reside within the County of Alameda:
1. Refugees, Asylees, and Special Immigrant Visa recipients ages 18 to 59 who are not enrolled in other Refugee Social Services programs;
2. Older refugees ages 60 and older.
All service sites must be physically located within the County of Alameda.
The selected Contractor will be responsible for the following services:
1. Provide culturally and linguistically appropriate case management services and activities to refugee clients who may be experiencing difficulties and challenges pertaining to understanding or adapting to their new living environment.
2. Help refugees learn how to navigate through new western systems and build life skills essential to functioning well in the different realms of life. SI workers provide translation, interpretation, escort services, and advocacy for clients attending appointments where navigational or language barriers are anticipated.
C. BACKGROUND
SI services are available to all refugees 18 years of age and older and are provided through various federal, state, and county programs. The Federal Refugee Program was established by the Refugee Act of 1980 and amended in 1987. Under the Refugee Act, refugee funds provided to states and counties impacted by refugee resettlement are used to supply cash, medical benefits, employment, and social services in order to assist individuals with refugee and asylum status in achieving self-sufficiency. Refugee Programs are administrated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement of the Administration of Children and Families/Health and Human Services on the federal level; the California Department of Social Services Refugee Program Bureau on the state level; and ACSSA on the county level.

II. COUNTY PROCEDURES, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS
H. EVALUATION CRITERIA / SELECTION COMMITTEE
1. Initial Evaluation. All proposals will first be reviewed to determine if they pass the initial Evaluation Criteria (page 16 of these Specifications, Terms and Conditions, Items A-D), which are determined on a pass/fail basis.
2. Evaluation by County Selection Committee. All proposals that have passed the initial Evaluation Criteria will be evaluated by a County Selection Committee (CSC). The CSC may be composed of County staff and other parties that may have expertise or experience related to the goods or services that are being procured. The CSC will score the proposals according to the Evaluation Criteria set forth in this RFP. Other than the initial pass/fail Evaluation Criteria, the evaluation of the proposals will be within the sole judgment and discretion of the CSC.
3. Unrealistic Bids. Bidders should bear in mind that any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of the technical or schedule commitments or unrealistically high or low in cost may be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical knowledge or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the County’s requirements as set forth in this RFP.
4. Price Discrepancy. In the case of a discrepancy between the unit price and an extension, the unit price will be used for evaluation purposes.
5. Evaluation Criteria Descriptions. The items listed in the Evaluation Criteria should be considered as minimum requirements. All information contained in a proposal and presented in vendor interviews (if there are interviews) will be considered during the evaluation process and included in scoring within the appropriate Evaluation Criteria.
6. Evaluation Scores. Proposals will be evaluated and scored on the zero to five-point scale within each Evaluation Criteria below. Scores for all Evaluation Criteria (see the section below) will then be added, according to their assigned weight (below), to arrive at a weighted score for each proposal. A proposal with a higher-weighted total will be deemed of higher quality than a proposal with a lesser-weighted total.
7. Shortlist Process. The evaluation process may include a two-stage approach including a preliminary evaluation of the written proposal and preliminary scoring to develop a shortlist of Bidders that will continue to the final stage of optional vendor interview, and reference checks. The preliminary score will be based on the total points, excluding any points allocated to references, and optional vendor interview. The Bidders receiving the highest preliminary scores with at least 200 points may advance to the next evaluation phase. All other Bidders will be deemed eliminated from the process. All Bidders will be notified of the shortlist participants; however, the preliminary scores at that time will not be communicated to Bidders.
8. Reference Checks. Bidders are to provide a list of five (5) references. Reference points will be given based on our ability to contact three (3) of the five (5) references.
References should be able to address and describe their knowledge of your organization’s ability to provide the services listed in the RFP. Services or goods provided by Bidder to the references should have similar scope, volume and requirements to those outlined in these specifications, terms and conditions.
Bidders must verify that the contact information for all references provided is current and valid. If a reference cannot be contacted it may affect the qualification and scoring of Bidder’s submission.
Bidders are strongly encouraged to notify all references that the County may be contacting them to obtain a reference.
The County may contact some or all of the references provided in order to determine Bidder’s performance record on work similar to that described in this request. The County reserves the right to contact references other than those provided in the Response and to use the information gained from them in the evaluation process.
9. Optional Vendor Interviews. The County may, in its sole discretion, conduct vendor interviews. Should the County opt to conduct a vendor interview, the interview may include responding to standard and specific questions from the CSC regarding the Bidders’ proposal. Whether or not a shortlist process is used, the score of any evaluation criterion below may be revised or informed based on the vendor interview.
10. Final Score. The final maximum score for any procurement is 500 points. Proposals will be ranked by their final scores.
a. Without Vendor Interview. In procurements where there are no vendor interviews, the score received by the evaluation of the written proposal with the references score added will be the final score.
b. With Vendor Interview. In procurements where there are vendor interviews, the CSC will consider the interview and may adjust the scores received by the evaluation of the written proposal which, with the reference scores added, will be the final score.
11. Contact During Evaluation Process. All contact during the evaluation phase must be through the ACSSA Contracts Office only. Bidders must neither contact nor lobby CSC during the evaluation process. Attempts by Bidders to contact and/or influence members of the CSC may result in disqualification of Bidders.
12. Determining Award. As a result of this RFP, the County intends to award a contract to the highest-ranked responsible Bidder(s), as determined by the combined weight of the Evaluation Criteria, whose response conforms to the RFP and whose bid presents the greatest value to the County considering all Evaluation Criteria. The combined weight of the Evaluation Criteria is greater in importance than the cost in determining the best value to the County. The County may award a contract of higher qualitative competence over the lowest priced response.
13. The zero to five-point scale range is defined as follows:
|
0 |
Not Acceptable |
Non-responsive, fails to meet RFP specifications. The approach has no probability of success. If the unmet specification is a mandatory requirement, this score may result in the disqualification of the proposal. |
|
1 |
Poor |
Below average, falls short of expectations, is substandard to that which is the average or expected norm, has a low probability of success in achieving objectives per RFP. |
|
2 |
Fair |
Has a reasonable probability of success; however, some objectives may not be met. |
|
3 |
Average |
Acceptable and likely to achieve all objectives in a reasonable fashion per RFP specification. This will be the baseline score for each item with adjustments based on the interpretation of the proposal by CSC members. |
|
4 |
Above Average / Good |
Better than that which is average or expected as the norm. Excellent probability of success in achieving all objectives of the RFP requirements and expectations. |
|
5 |
Excellent / Exceptional |
