Bidder Questions
1.
What is the maximum dollar amount set aside for this program?
Answer: As detailed in Section 3.4 Method of Award of the bid document, the contract(s) is awarded based on the lowest net unit price and extended total for each location from a responsive, responsible bidder meeting bid specifications and requirements. A maximum dollar amount for this program does not exist; however, increasing or decreasing the number of cycles in a city (location) is dependant upon DCC’s overall budget for this region.
2.
Since program participants are referred by the DOC, can you provide an estimated number of potential participants for each city?
Answer: The following response is based on every participant/offender attending group and successfully discharging. Based on a maximum of 12 participants in each group, Kenosha will potentially serve 96 unique participants (two groups per week x 16 group sessions; eight cycles per year).
This number will likely be higher as some offenders will be unsuccessfully discharged and the open slot will be filled with another referral.
Elkhorn and Burlington will each potentially serve at least 48 unique offenders.
If referral demand and financial resources exist, we will request the provider to facilitate additional cycles to alleviate waiting lists.
3.
Regarding program participants from special populations, who is responsible for providing additional resources, such as interpreter services, physical adaptive devices, special education support, etc., that may be required?
Answer: The target population identified in Section 1.1.3 of the bid document may include special populations however those offenders will only be referred if they can be accommodated within the requirements of the program. For example, offenders will have an understanding of English, but there may be offenders that need assistance in completing homework or similar areas. Any offender with no English and/or significant special needs will be accommodated by DOC through alternate means.
This does not alleviate the program from complying with Section 8.12,
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT.
