The contract is structured as a one-year base term with an option for up to five annual renewals, resulting in a potential total contract value ranging from $180,250 to $1,081,500, based on annual budget ceilings and renewal possibilities. Services include therapeutic interventions such as in-person and virtual individual therapy, as well as group therapy sessions for varying group sizes.

Vendors must submit two separate electronic files: a Technical Proposal and a Cost Proposal, each clearly labeled, with content strictly segregated. Required attachments include a Certification Letter, detailed resumes of key personnel, proof of Iowa business registration, and insurance documentation covering general liability, automobile, excess liability, workers’ compensation, professional liability, and cyber liability, each with specified minimum coverage levels. All personnel are subject to criminal background investigations, and vendors must certify independence, absence from debarment lists, and compliance with Iowa sales and use tax laws. The contract requires quarterly performance reports in Microsoft Excel format and imposes a continuing obligation to disclose any post-submission legal, regulatory, or operational changes. Payment terms align with Iowa Code 8A.514, mandating payment within 30 days of invoice receipt, and vendors must be capable of accepting electronic fund transfers, state warrants, Pcards, or EAP.
