Volume of Services Proposed | |
|
In Attachments B-1 and B-3, the forms ask for totals (number of units, number of families to be served, and expenses). Is it correct that the provider needs to estimate the totals over the entire contract period (1/1/09 - 6/30/2011)? Can you provide anticipated info re volume by service by county? Is there any data available on the numbers and types of services needed in each DCS region/county and the number and types of services that were purchased by each DCS region/county during the current contracting period? Will this information be posted on the DCS website? What are the current usage statistics per county for all funded programs in the current grant |
The totals numbers used in Attachments B-1 and B-3 are to be inclusive of the entire contract period. The volume of services proposed (number of units/number of families) is important in projecting the number of units proposed per family served for each service. All these contracts will be “zero based” and as such imply no guarantee as to the number of referrals any provider will receive nor the amount of billing likely to be generated. This is very dependent on the number of families becoming DCS clients in each County and the needs present in these families. It is important to note in the technical proposal if there are minimum service levels below which a specific service cannot be maintained by the provider or a maximum number of clients that the provider would be willing or able to serve. |
