SLCo MAY17012026 Homeless Services System Components for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness - RFA

The Salt Lake County solicitation seeks qualified organizations to enhance the homeless services system through funding for critical components such as transportation, outreach, and coordinated intake, with an emphasis on serving unsheltered individuals and supporting coordinated entry efforts. Approximately $400,000 is available, with awards ranging from $50,000 to $275,000, and the contract period extends through December 31, 2026. Applicants must submit their proposals by December 4, 2025, via email to Brooke Lockyer, including a completed application cover sheet and a questionnaire tailored to new or returning organizations. The evaluation process prioritizes demonstrated existing efforts, capacity to address priority activities, reach underserved populations, and alignment with local strategic plans, using a weighted scoring system from 1 to 5. Successful proposals will be selected based on best value, with no explicit contract type or fixed pricing structure detailed beyond the funding ranges. The contract emphasizes strict insurance requirements, including general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability coverage, with specific minimums and approval standards for insurers. It does not incorporate federal clauses or references to standard FAR provisions; instead, it relies on explicit terms outlined in the RFA, such as compliance with applicable laws, oversight, and accountability measures. There are no specified packaging, marking, labeling, or shipping standards, nor are there references to MIL-STD standards or detailed inspection and acceptance procedures. The agreement is not binding until fully executed in writing, and activities prior to signing are at the applicant’s risk. Reporting and oversight are managed by Salt Lake County, with recipients required to track fund use and submit quarterly reports. The application process involves certifying the accuracy of submitted information, but no specific representations regarding entity size, socioeconomic status, or federal registration are required or referenced.
