<br /> On October 18, 2021 , the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA)
<br /> released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit non-profit organizations to submit
<br /> proposals for youth services for the following categories, which fall under Direct
<br /> Assistance Programs noted above.
<br /> • Early Childhood Support & Head Start & Child/Day Care
<br /> • After-School/Youth Sports
<br /> • Youth Violence Prevention
<br /> An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in
<br /> the RFP, which includes Statement of Qualification, Scope of Work, Data Collection,
<br /> Reporting and Compliance, and Budget.
<br /> The City received 24 proposals, from 19 organizations with a total request of $4,882,467.
<br /> After the proposals were scored, four proposals did not meet the minimum threshold to
<br /> proceed in the evaluation process. A follow up questionnaire was provided by the
<br /> organizations of the remaining 20 proposals. The evaluation committee is recommending
<br /> awarding agreements to 18 proposals, from 14 organizations
<br /> The total request of the recommended proposals was $3,794,571 for a two-year program.
<br /> The Revive Spending Plan identified $2,000,000 for these services. Therefore, to meet this
<br /> limit, the evaluation committee recommends funding for a one-year program instead of a
<br /> two-year program as originally requested in the RFP. Additionally, the requests for Youth
<br /> Violence Prevention exceed the amount specified in the spending plan. Therefore, the
