DocuSign Envelope ID:CAABEAFA-9919-4207-B5CD-58E618EA747E <br /> 1. In what format is the registry of resources to be presented, paper or electronic? <br /> a. Electronic <br /> 2. Is there a preferred method of presenting the information of the registry? <br /> a. Table format <br /> 3. Please clarify and define the term "resources". Is the registry a database of direct service providers of <br /> MH/IDD/SA services in orange County or any related type of resource? <br /> a. Resources can be defined as mental health providers (inpatient and outpatient), substance abuse <br /> treatment facilities, services, schools that provide mental health services, etc. (So yes, direct service <br /> provision of MH/IDD/SA in Orange County and any related type of resource.) <br /> 4. For deliverable#2, is the system map to show how citizens SHOULD access services or how they ACTUALLY <br /> access services? <br /> a. The systems map shows how residents (we have a subset population of non-citizens with MH needs) are <br /> currently(actually) accessing these services.This will help us identify how we can improve access for <br /> residents to these services. <br /> 5. Regarding the proposal content item #4 and #7, it seems these are the same information as related to <br /> individuals employed by the firm. Is this a correct interpretation and if so is this information required in both <br /> places? <br /> a. #4 and#7 are very similar, however,#4 focuses more on the roles of your staff on our project and#7 <br /> seeks further information regarding experience on similar projects,years of experience, and workload <br /> on other current projects. <br /> 6. Please clarify the data element"capacity and utilization data for FY 16-17" in deliverable#1. Is utilization <br /> specifically the number of people served or the number of units or hours of service delivered or some other <br /> metric? <br /> a. All of the above. Capacity will certainly be important regarding number of beds for inpatient facilities, <br /> however, many providers will define capacity as hours they are able to dedicate per provider. Utilization <br /> would be relevant to both of those as numbers and percentages of capacity. <br /> 7. Is the information required in deliverable#2 and 3 the same information as it relates to making <br /> recommendations for system improvements? If not please define the expectation related to a Behavioral Health <br /> System of care assessment. <br /> a. Deliverable#2 focuses on services county-wide (ages 0-25) while Deliverable#3 focuses on school-based <br /> systems of care within the 2 school districts in Orange County(generally ages 5-18).There may be <br /> overlap between the two regarding improvements (we anticipate there will be improvements identified <br /> from each deliverable separately at the very minimum). <br /> 8. Deliverable#3 requires an assessment;thus, it is not presently known the outcome of the assessment. How <br /> should a firm accurately present proposal costs for the program implementation phase? <br /> a. Our expectation is that the successful bidder will have performed similar systems of care assessments in <br /> the past and will be able to bid the project accordingly based on experience. <br /> 9. Is there a preferred proposal submission format? <br /> a. There is no preferred proposal submission format. <br /> 10. Regarding deliverable#3, how many years is the "multi-year time frame"? <br /> a. This will most likely depend on proposed costs for improvements in addition to the immediacy of the <br /> need. It could be anywhere between 0-5 years based on the recommend approach by the successful <br /> bidder. <br /> 11. Regarding the proposal submission, is the cost proposal only attached to the original document but not to the <br /> other two copies? <br /> a. That is correct. Please attach the cost proposal only to the original document; not the two copies. <br /> Orange County, 200 S. Cameron Street, Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 Page 2 <br />
