QUESTIONS
1. I had a few questions about the insurance requirements for the grant. We do not have a building for our 501c(3) so would we be held to still having all those same requirements?
2. Is this open in Pima County ONLY or can interested parties in Cochise County apply?
3, On Page 11, the RFP states "Organizations selected through this RFP will be asked to provide the following:
• DUNS Number
• Conflict of Interest Policy
• Auditor’s Opinion and Management Letter from organization’s last audit
• Fingerprint Clearance card and completed Federal Central Registry background check procedure for facilitators (exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis)
• Proof of Insurance
• Drug-free Workplace Policy
• Lobbying Statement
• Plan to protect confidential client data and other sensitive information
Does the Proposer need to provide the documents with the Proposal or only if selected or being considered for a contract award?
ANSWERS
1. If selected, a Proposer may ask that Pima County Risk Management review their specific circumstances to see if a variance from these requirements is possible.
2. The RFP is open to any organization or individual, who has not been debarred or suspended, within or outside of Pima County. On page 2 of the RFP it states the following:
Pima County CSET is requesting proposals from any private for-profit business entity, private non-profit corporation, public entity, or individual who has not been debarred or suspended to provide services under this Request for Proposal (RFP).
Please contact Anna.Cunes@pima.gov if you have additional questions on or before Friday, June 30, 2017 at 3 p.m.
