The County of Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services is soliciting proposals under RFP #26-0036 for Family Support and Abuse Prevention Services for children with developmental disabilities. The selected contractor will provide screening, service planning, and education for approximately 300 children and youth annually, with a focus on increasing the capacity of Regional Centers and community agencies to recognize the link between developmental disabilities and child abuse. The contract is a firm-fixed price agreement with a maximum annual funding limit of 300,000 dollars. Performance is measured by a Performance Requirements Summary, requiring a 95 to 100 percent success rate in screening and engaging referred families, and 100 percent compliance with the approved Training and Education Plan. Proposals must be submitted as four electronic PDF files, including a business proposal, cost proposal, three years of audited financial statements, and required corporate forms. The evaluation is heavily weighted toward the business proposal at 70 percent, with additional scoring preferences of up to 15 percent available for LSBE, DVBE, and SE programs. Key personnel requirements include a Program Manager with specific Regional Center and parenting education expertise and a Clinical Supervisor who is a Certified Behavioral Analyst. Service delivery mandates that at least 80 percent of intake, case management, and in-home counseling be provided in-person, while parenting classes are exempt from this requirement.
