So 5 feel free to ask questions after we've gone 6 through and reviewed thoroughly the sections that 7 you need to review. 8 Thank you. 9 Review of Request for Grant Proposals 10 MR. SANG KANG: Okay. Now I will go 11 over Section I of the RFGP, Request for Grant 12 Proposals. 13 Section I 14 Department of Human Resources is 15 issuing this Request for Grant Proposals to award 16 multiple grants for programs providing services 17 to help children access and receive parenting 18 time with noncustodial parents. 19 The Department intends to award three 20 grants as a result of this RFGP. And there are 21 three regions, as specified in Section 1.1, and COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S9 1 there will be one Grant per region. 2 The Grants will be awarded for a four 3 (4) year period beginning October 1st, 2015 and 4 ending December 30th, 2019. Each Grant will be 5 in the amount of $53,147 per year, for a total 6 Grant of $212,588 per recipient. The grantee 7 must provide a 10% in-kind match for this 8 solicitation. 9 Section 1.4: The sole point of 10 contact in the State, for purposes of this 11 solicitation, prior to the award of the contract, 12 is the Procurement Officer. After the Grant is 13 in place, Ronald Nix is the contact for the 14 State, and his responsibility is to manage the 15 Grant. 16 Questions and Responses: There have 17 been six (6) questions sent already, and we will 18 be answering three (3) of them later during the 19 conference, and then we will answer three (3) of 20 them in writing. 21 We will also be taking questions a COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S10 1 little later during the conference. And 2 questions can also be submitted to the 3 Procurement Officer after the conference. 4 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Is there a date? 5 MR. SANG KANG: We want the questions 6 to be submitted at least five days prior to the 7 due date, but we will take questions up to the 8 due date. 9 Proposals must be received by the 10 Procurement Officer no later than 3:00 p.m. 11 Eastern Time on August 10th, 2015. Multiple and 12 alternate Proposals will not be accepted. 13 Section 1.11, Public Information Act: 14 Any confidential or proprietary information 15 should be identified by page and section number, 16 and this information should be placed after the 17 Title Page and before the Table of Contents of 18 your Proposal, of your Technical Proposal. 19 Section 1.13, Oral Presentations: 20 Applicants may be required to submit oral 21 presentations to State representatives. And any COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S11 1 substantive oral clarification of the Proposal 2 that's made during the course of the discussions, 3 those kind of clarifications would have to be 4 written, and they would then become part of the 5 Applicant's proposal, and they are binding if the 6 Grant is awarded. 7 Section 1.14, Revisions to the RFGP. 8 (Thereupon, an unidentified person 9 entered the conference room.) 10 MR. SANG KANG: Section 1.14, 11 Revisions to the RFGP: Addenda to the RFGP will 12 be posted on the Department's procurement web 13 page. And it is the responsibility of the 14 Applicants to check the website for any addenda. 15 And I'm going to skip to Section 1.21: 16 Before a business entity can do business in the 17 State, it must be registered with the State 18 Department of Assessments and Taxation. 19 And it is strongly recommended that 20 any potential Applicant complete registration 21 prior to the due date for receipt of Proposals. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S12 1 The Bid Proposal Affidavit: A 2 Proposal must be accompanied by a Bid Proposal 3 Affidavit, which is Attachment B. 4 You will also need to submit 5 Attachment E, which are the Federal Funds 6 attachments; and Attachment F, which is the 7 Conflict of Interest Affidavit and Disclosure. 8 The Non-Disclosure Agreement in 9 Section 1.26 must be provided within five (5) 10 business days of notification of proposed Grant 11 Award. However, it is suggested that this 12 document be completed and submitted with the 13 Proposal. 14 And that's Section I. 15 Section II: 16 Section II, Applicant Minimum 17 Qualifications: This Request for Grant Proposal 18 does not have any Applicant minimum 19 qualifications. 20 So that's it for Section I and II. 21 Tywanna will present Section III. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S13 1 Section III 2 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: So Section III is 3 the Scope of Work. I don't want to read this 4 verbatim, so I'm going to highlight kind of the 5 main points of what the program is of interest to 6 you. 7 Section 3.1, basically, is the 8 background. What I will note here is the goal 9 for us is to provide an appropriate mechanism -- 10 or to award a program that's going to provide an 11 appropriate mechanism for NCPs to receive 12 parenting time with their children or child. And 13 we're hoping that such a mechanism would increase 14 the compliance with child support. 15 Also note here that we're defining 16 customer as parents of children who receive Title 17 IV-D funds. 18 Section 3.2.1, Program Description, 19 which is where the meat of my time will be spent, 20 is that you notice in the Letter A: The program 21 must accept referrals for customers who reside in COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S14 1 the geographical region in which you provide 2 service and have a child support case. 3 You also would be responsible for 4 developing Parent Plans. And these initial plans 5 must be done within thirty (30) days of receiving 6 the referral, and implemented as soon as both 7 parties agree to a parenting time schedule. 8 You must also conduct assessments that 9 allow Grantees to develop appropriate Parenting 10 Plans. At a minimum, these would identify any 11 DV, domestic violence issues, any kind of child 12 abuse/neglect issues, and anything that might 13 have impact on negotiating or implementing your 14 Parenting Plan. 15 You must also conduct an assessment -- 16 excuse me. 17 You must also evaluate the 18 participant's progress toward achieving the goals 19 that you set forth in these Parenting Plans. And 20 the way you do that is to kind of check on your 21 Parenting Plans at least quarterly or every three COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S15 1 months. 2 You must maintain case records. And 3 under Letter E in that same section is the 4 details of what that minimum needs to be kept in 5 those case records. So I won't read them 6 verbatim, but you can find that in that section. 7 You must provide therapeutic, 8 monitored, or supervised visitations as required 9 by the referral source. So what that means: If 10 you receive a referral from a court and it 11 specifies a particular way that a visitation has 12 to happen, you need to provide the visitation in 13 that manner for that referral source, if you're 14 going to accept that referral. 15 Again, the details of what has to be 16 in that is also found in the section under Letter 17 F. If you're going to utilize a Satellite 18 Visitation Location, other than the local DSS or 19 court, you must provide a written agreement from 20 the facility as a part of your Technical 21 Proposals. And then the details of what has to COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S16 1 be in that written agreement is also on Page 19, 2 Section 3.21, under Letter F. 3 The Applicant must also provide 4 appropriate security at any AV program locations. 5 Again, the minimum requirements for safeguards, 6 as what we're requiring for security, is listed 7 under Letter H on Page 19. 8 So moving on to Administrative 9 Requirements: The Applicant is required to track 10 and report the receipt and expenditure of all 11 Grant funds. At least annually you will be 12 required to submit an annual audit or financial 13 statement of the use of your Grant funds. 14 It's important to note that the Grant 15 funds to do our program services cannot be 16 commingled with any other funds. That doesn't 17 mean you can't utilize other funds. It's just 18 for our services you can't commingle them in the 19 reporting to us. 20 Reporting Requirements: On Page 20 of 21 the detail of all the reports, we require you to COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S17 1 submit a Monthly Expenditure Report, which is 2 Attachment H; a Monthly Progress Report, which is 3 Attach I. The Annual Federal Survey is actually 4 a Federal requirement for us as a State, and so 5 we provide you the template, because we actually 6 collect the data from the programs quarterly, so 7 that we're able to submit our report on time. 8 And then financial statements that are due thirty 9 (30) days after the end of each Grant year. And 10 again those details are listed in Section 3.2.3. 11 Outreach Requirements: This is, 12 basically, really the program trying to encourage 13 partnerships. And so in this section what I 14 would highlight is that we're not necessarily 15 asking you to reinvent the wheel, but to develop 16 kind of partnerships and collaborations that will 17 allow you to kind of leverage funds and resources 18 to provide these Access and Visitation services. 19 Grant Monitoring Obligations: This is 20 basically a chart that kind of gives you the main 21 deadlines of when certain dates are due and items COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S18 1 are due to us, so I won't read that to you. 2 Section 3.3, Security Requirements: 3 Employee Identification, to me, is 4 self-explanatory. You pretty much need to 5 identify -- have some kind of badge or 6 identification that identifies who you are. It 7 must be worn at all times, particularly when 8 you're at State facilities. 9 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Excuse me a second. 10 Do you want us to hold all our questions till the 11 end? 12 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. 13 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Yes, please. 14 But what I will point out in this 15 section is the Information Technology security 16 requirement: All Grantees shall comply with and 17 adhere to the State IT Security Policy and 18 Standards. Those standards can specifically be 19 found at www.doit.maryland.gov. And, again, 20 that's also detailed in the Proposal on Page 21. 21 I would strongly recommend that you review those COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S19 1 to make sure that you can adhere and be in 2 compliance to those. 3 Section 3.4 is the Insurance 4 Requirements: The details of what types of 5 insurance and the amount in which you need to 6 maintain the insurance are listed here, so I 7 won't read those to you. What I will point out 8 are some key deadlines. 9 Within the first five (5) business 10 days of recommendation of the Grant Award, you 11 need to submit to the State Program Manager, 12 which would be Ron Nix in this case, any 13 Certificates of Insurance that are required in 14 this Proposal. 15 Also, you must list the State as an 16 additional insured on your insurance policies. 17 And that anyone who you subcontract with, to 18 provide services for this Grant, must also 19 maintain similar levels of insurances. And that 20 information would also be required to be 21 submitted to the State Project Manager. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S20 1 Section 3.5, Problems Escalation 2 Procedures: This is basically for your plan on 3 how to address any problem that occurs in a 4 timely manner and who the main contact would be. 5 And so I won't -- the details of what has to be 6 in your plan, at a minimum, are listed in this 7 section. The thing that's important to note is 8 that you must submit your PEP or your Problem 9 Escalation Procedure within five (5) business 10 days after the Notice of the Grant Award or the 11 Notice to Proceed, whichever is earlier. And 12 that, again, would be submitted to the State 13 Project Manager. 14 It's also important to note that this 15 must be resubmitted and updated, if necessary, at 16 least ten (10) days after each Grant year. So 17 when it gets renewed pretty much annually and you 18 have ten (10) days to submit it back to the 19 State. 20 Section 3.6, Invoicing: The details 21 of what has to be submitted on the invoice are COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S21 1 listed here. It's important to note that 2 invoices are due the 15th of every month and it's 3 very critical that whatever you submit as far as 4 your expenses, including the 10% in-kind, is also 5 supported with documentation that shows how that 6 was expended. So we'll accept ADP records; we'll 7 accept receipts, even something like rent which 8 you might have like a monthly contract for, if 9 you submit that as proof of "This is your 10% 10 in-kind," we need to be able to clearly see that. 11 So anything that you're asking to be reimbursed 12 for, make sure there is clear supporting 13 documentation. And I think that's really all I 14 have to say about the 10%. 15 And finally, Section 3.7, which is the 16 Grant's Project Manager: Understand that this 17 person is who the State considers their main 18 point of contact. So this person needs to be 19 knowledgeable of the Grant and the program, as 20 well as any procedures related to it. They also 21 would be the person that our State Project COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S22 1 Manager would coordinate with. And they should 2 be the person that's represented at the meetings, 3 at a minimum. You're welcome to invite other 4 people that are involved in the program, but this 5 person should be in attendance to the meetings 6 and be available for our main site visits. 7 I think that's it for me. 8 Section IV 9 MR. SANG KANG: Okay. Thank you. 10 Section IV, Proposal Format: 11 Applicants shall submit Proposals in separate 12 volumes. Volume I is the Technical Proposal. 13 Volume II is the Financial Proposal. 14 A Technical Proposal, they should be 15 sealed separately from one another. Each Volume 16 shall contain an unbound original and five (5) 17 copies. 18 An electronic version of the Technical 19 Proposal in CD or DVD format must be enclosed 20 with the original Technical Proposal. An 21 electronic CD or DVD of the Financial Proposal COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S23 1 must be enclosed with the original Financial 2 Proposal. 3 And also a second electronic version 4 of both Volume I and Volume II of the Technical 5 and Financial Proposal, must be submitted on CD 6 or DVD for Public Information Act requests. And 7 this CD should be redacted for confidential and 8 proprietary information. 9 Delivery: Applicants may either mail 10 or hand deliver Proposals. And if you mail the 11 Proposals, they have to be received in our mail 12 room by the time and date listed in the RFGP, 13 which is August 10th at 3:00 p.m. So it has to 14 be in our mailroom to be deemed timely. 15 And if you hand deliver the Proposals, 16 Applicants are advised to secure a dated, signed, 17 and time-stamped receipt of delivery. And, 18 actually, we'll give you a form if necessary. 19 So the Technical Proposal, we're 20 looking at Section 4.41 now: The most important 21 thing here is you have to make sure that COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S24 1 responses in the Technical Proposal reference 2 your organization, numbering the sections in the 3 RFGP. So if you respond to Section 3.2.1-A of 4 the Scope of Work, which refers to the acceptance 5 of referrals, you would have to make a note in 6 your Technical Proposal that you're responding to 7 that section. So just follow the Scope of Work 8 that we give you and respond to each section. 9 And the Technical Proposal should be 10 separated by a tab for each section. We're at 11 Section 4.42 now. 12 Tab A should be the Title Page in the 13 Table of Contents. 14 Tab A-1 should be the Claim of 15 Confidentiality, if it is applicable. 16 Let's see here. Tab B is the 17 Transmittal Letter, and the purpose of this 18 Letter is to transmit the Proposal and 19 acknowledge receipt of any addenda. So please 20 acknowledge receipt of any questions and answers 21 or any amendments. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC.

"We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S29 1 Applicant. 2 And Under Tab M: You would submit the 3 attachments and there are three (3) attachments 4 you have to submit with the Proposal, which would 5 be the Bid Proposal Affidavit, Federal Funds 6 Attachment, and the Conflict of Interest 7 Affidavit disclosure. 8 Okay. So that's the Technical 9 Proposal. 10 Financial Proposal: Please submit 11 Attachment D of the RFGP. 12 Section V 13 And now Section V: Your Technical 14 Proposal will be evaluated on three (3) criteria, 15 and this is the criteria and order of importance: 16 First is the Applicant's Technical 17 Response to the RFGP requirements. 18 Two, the Applicants Qualifications and 19 Capability. 20 And three, Experience and 21 Qualifications of Proposed Staff, including the COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S30 1 staff of subcontractors. 2 And with respect to Criteria 1, the 3 Technical Response to the RFGP, the State prefers 4 an Applicant's response to work requirements in 5 the RFGP that illustrates a comprehensive 6 understanding of work requirements and mastery of 7 the subject matter, including an explanation of 8 how the work will be done. So Proposals which 9 include limited responses such as "we concur" or 10 "will reply," those Proposals will receive a 11 lower ranking than those Proposals that 12 demonstrate an understanding of the work 13 requirements and include plans to meet or exceed 14 them. 15 And with respect to criteria in 2, the 16 Applicants Qualifications and Capabilities: 17 Proposals that demonstrate longevity in providing 18 Access and Visitation services to recipients of 19 Title IV-D funding will receive a higher rank 20 than those Proposals that do not demonstrate 21 that. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S31 1 And Financial Proposal will be 2 evaluated for compliance with the terms of this 3 RFGP. However, Financial Proposals will not be 4 ranked. 5 Moving to Section 5.4, the Selection 6 Process: Technical Proposals will be evaluated 7 for technical merit, and then ranked. During 8 this review, oral presentations and discussions 9 may be held. 10 And Applicants must confirm in writing 11 any substantive oral clarifications or changes in 12 their Technical Proposals made during the course 13 of their discussions. Any such written 14 clarifications or changes then become part of the 15 Applicant's Technical Proposal. Technical 16 Proposals are then given a final review and 17 ranked. 18 After that, Financial Proposal of each 19 Applicant will then be evaluated, but not ranked. 20 And then each Applicant will be -- 21 will receive an overall ranking. And then the COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S32 1 Procurement Officer will recommend award of the 2 Grant to the responsible Applicant that submitted 3 the Proposal determined to be most advantageous 4 to the State. In making this determination, 5 technical factors will receive greater weight 6 than financial factors. 7 And that's it for Section 5. 8 So we have received six questions so 9 far, and we're going to answer three of them 10 right now. 11 So the first question is: Do we get 12 one Grant minimal for our county? Or are we 13 required to do all of them? 14 So pursuant to Section 3.21 of the 15 RFGP: The Grantee must accept referrals of 16 customers who reside in the geographical region 17 in which the Applicant provides services. 18 However, the Grantee is not required to accept 19 all referrals within the entire geographic region 20 and may limit its services to customers residing 21 within one or several counties within the broader COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S33 1 geographic region. So you don't have to accept 2 all of the referrals within the region. You can 3 service, say, one (1) county or three (3) 4 counties. 5 Question Number 2: There are 6 counselling visits as a part of this Grant. Is 7 it expected that the funds will come out of this 8 Grant? Or can we use third-party funds? 9 And the answer is: The use of 10 third-party funds to provide any services 11 required under this Grant is permissible. In 12 fact, the Grantee is required by the RFGP to 13 provide at least a 10% in-kind match derived from 14 third-party sources. 15 And Question 3: Is there a page limit 16 for Technical Proposal? 17 And there is no page limit for 18 Technical Proposal. However, pursuant to RFGP 19 Section 1.10, proposals should be prepared simply 20 and economically and provide a straightforward 21 and concise description of the Applicant's COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S34 1 Proposal to meet the requirements of this RFGP. 2 Are there any other questions? 3 Questions 4 MS. CATHY MEYERS: If you are the 5 facility where the visitation occurs, do you 6 still have to have an agreement? 7 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: It's your 8 facility? You own it? 9 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Yes. 10 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: No. 11 MS. CATHY MEYERS: If there is no 12 other third-party payment for therapeutic 13 visitations or counseling services, are we 14 expected to eat those services if they're 15 required by the Proposal? 16 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: I'm sorry, can 17 you repeat the question? 18 MS. CATHY MEYERS: If there is no 19 third-party payer source for therapeutic visits 20 which require a therapist, or for counseling 21 services, are we required to eat those visits COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S35 1 since providing them is a requirement of the RFP? 2 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Let me write that 3 down. I'm going to respond after I -- 4 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Thanks. Okay. Do 5 you need me to -- 6 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Yes, please. 7 MS. CATHY MEYERS: If there is no 8 third-party payer source for counseling services 9 or therapeutic visitations, which require 10 therapists for those particular families, are we 11 required to provide those services for free, as 12 required by the RFP? 13 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: I'll get back to 14 you on that one. 15 MR. HUBERT CHANG: Is that question, 16 "Are you required to provide the services for 17 free," or "Are you required to provide those 18 services in any" -- 19 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Well, if we're 20 providing them and there's no funding source, and 21 the amount of money in this RFP is so low and COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S36 1 therapists are so expensive, quite honestly, that 2 you would be basically having to provide that for 3 free. So that would certainly be a consideration 4 of Proposal. If every family you provided 5 services to required counseling, or the judges 6 ordered half your cases to be therapeutic 7 visitations, $53,000 is not going to cover that, 8 quite honestly. So that's kind of where the 9 questions geared at. It says that you need -- 10 MR. HUBERT CHANG: I wanted to get 11 that question down. 12 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Yes. 13 It says that you need an audit of the 14 Grant funds specific to this RFP. That sounds 15 like a single audit. However, that is not 16 required and it's extremely expensive. So are 17 you asking for specifically an audit of these 18 Grant funds? Or does your regular audit that 19 your whole agency gets cover them? I thought a 20 single audit's only required if it's above a 21 certain amount of money. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S37 1 MR. SANG KANG: We'll respond in 2 writing. 3 MS. CATHY MEYERS: The one requirement 4 says you have to have an ID. That's only if 5 you're on State premises or another place, 6 correct? If you're on your premise, that would 7 not be required? That's only if you're providing 8 visitations at Social Services or somewhere else? 9 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Yes. 10 MR. HUBERT CHANG: Did everyone hear 11 that? 12 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: I'm still writing 13 that down. 14 MR. HUBERT CHANG: Did everyone hear 15 that question and answer? 16 (No Response.) 17 MS. CATHY MEYERS: This is probably 18 more historical, but: This RFP requires more 19 reporting in terms of what it takes on our 20 physical staff, because copies of every single 21 receipt and timesheets of all of our staff have COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S38 1 to be submitted each quarter. 2 None of our other -- I have lots of 3 contracts with the State. This is the only 4 contract, of probably 40 that I have with the 5 State, that require us to submit the receipts. 6 We have to have them, but they're done on a 7 once-a-year site visit. They look for them, 8 rather than us sending employee time sheets, et 9 cetera, to the State. So for the amount of 10 money, it's fairly cumbersome on external staff, 11 like if we're sending our lease each month or 12 copies of those things. 13 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: So just for 14 clarity, is your question: Is that required? 15 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Yes. Or is there 16 any consideration of not requiring that, since 17 that's an unusual requirement? 18 MR. HUBERT CHANG: So we will respond 19 in writing to that question. 20 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Okay. How were the 21 regions decided? Obviously, Region II looks COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S39 1 preposterous in terms of the size and the amount 2 of population. You have very rural counties 3 mixed with very urban counties with high density 4 populations. 5 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Well, I'll put 6 that in writing so that everyone has that. But 7 that is consistent of what regions Child Support 8 currently has grouped together, but I will put a 9 formal response in writing so that everyone has 10 the same response to that. 11 MS. CATHY MEYERS: So is that kind of 12 like convenience? It's stayed? Or is it just -- 13 I mean, because obviously Baltimore and St. 14 Mary's County are very different areas of the 15 State. 16 What is a searchable Adobe file? I 17 know what Adobe files are. Most of us -- a lot 18 of us don't have -- we have Adobe Rewrite. 19 That's it. So is there anything above that we 20 have to have to provide a searchable Adobe file? 21 I've never heard those words before. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S40 1 MR. SANG KANG: I don't know. We'll 2 have to get that answer to you in writing, sorry. 3 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Next question: 4 This is on Page 57. It says there are three 5 Grants must total $212,588. But when you 6 multiply the three grants, you only come up with 7 159,441 per year. 8 MR. SANG KANG: Yeah, it should be -- 9 MR. HUBERT CHANG: Let's make sure. 10 MS. CATHY MEYERS: On Page 57 it says 11 the three grants are 53,000 a piece. So if you 12 total those, it's 159 per year. But it says, 13 must total 212,588. 14 MR. SANG KANG: That's for over four 15 (4) years I think is the -- 16 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Four years would 17 be -- 18 MR. SANG KANG: So it would be like 19 53,000 times four. 20 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Okay. So it's not 21 the total of the three regions? It's a total of COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S41 1 one provider? 2 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. We're gonna have 3 to ask you to send us these questions in writing. 4 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Isn't that 5 recorded? 6 MR. SANG KANG: By the time we get 7 them, you know, it's -- 8 MR. HUBERT CHANG: If it's possible to 9 send them in writing, that would be preferred. 10 MS. CATHY MEYERS: We only have a 11 two-week turnaround time. 12 MR. HUBERT CHANG: It will expedite 13 our ability to publish an answer, because it 14 takes some time to get the transcription. If 15 you're unable to send them in writing, of course 16 we will do our best to answer them as 17 expeditiously as we can. 18 MS. CATHY MEYERS: And one more: 19 Where is the indirect that we now are allowed to 20 take on Federal Grants included in the budget? 21 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: Your question is COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S42 1 where is the indirect? 2 MS. CATHY MEYERS: On the budget page 3 where would we put indirect costs that are now 4 allowable under Federal guidelines for the 5 frontline nonprofits? 6 MS. TYWANNA TAYLOR: I will have to 7 get back to you on that one and check with our 8 budget people. 9 MS. CATHY MEYERS: It actually talks 10 about how you come up with the formula for it, 11 but then there's nothing on the budget page where 12 you can put it. 13 UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE SPEAKER: Excuse 14 me. There's a question back here. 15 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. Please state 16 your name. 17 MR. HENRY BOGDON: My name is Henry 18 Bogdon (phonetic). I'm from Maryland Nonprofits. 19 I noticed in the Federal Attachment, 20 Federal Funds Attachment, references to Circular 21 A-133. And although these grants aren't large COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S43 1 enough to require an OMB single audit, those 2 audit requirements are out of date, and I'm just 3 wondering: Has this Proposal been reviewed in 4 the context of the Circular that superseded A-133 5 for most Federal programs? 6 MR. SANG KANG: We'll have to take 7 that question down and answer it in writing. 8 MR. HENRY BOGDON: Okay. For example, 9 the single audit requirement is now $750,000 for 10 the last year. 11 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Can I ask one other 12 question? 13 MR. SANG KANG: Yeah, sure. 14 MS. CATHY MEYERS: If it's not a 15 successful Applicant from one of the regions, or 16 maybe the Technical Proposal's very poor, but 17 there are highly-rated Technical Proposals in 18 Region II with funding, would it still only be 19 one per? 20 MR. SANG KANG: We haven't made that 21 determination. And we will take that down and COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S44 1 we'll answer in writing. 2 MR. HUBERT CHANG: You have a 3 question? 4 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Sharon 5 Iannacone with Harford County. I just have 6 practical questions. 7 The Letter of Support, is it just 8 generally addressed to DHR? Or is it addressed 9 to a specific person? Addressed to the 10 Procurement Officer here? 11 MR. SANG KANG: I'll answer that in 12 writing, because I actually don't know. But 13 we'll answer it in writing. 14 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Another very 15 practical, concrete question. I just want to 16 make sure I understand this clearly in terms of 17 submitting the Proposals: So all of the 18 Technical Proposals will be in one envelop? 19 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. 20 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: And all of the 21 financials in a separate envelop? COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S45 1 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. 2 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: And then 3 there's two CDs that go, the electronic is with 4 each one of those Proposals--one with the 5 original and one for public? 6 MR. SANG KANG: Yeah. And for the 7 Technical Proposal, there's a CD for the 8 original, and then one that's redacted for 9 proprietary information. 10 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: And then 11 there's another CD for the Financial Proposal as 12 well? 13 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. 14 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: And then also a 15 public one? So there's two CDs in each one of 16 those packages; is that correct? 17 MR. SANG KANG: Yes. 18 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: And then just 19 another question I have: There's a requirement 20 that the Parenting Plan has to be done within 30 21 days of a referral. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S46 1 I mean, I guess I have some concerns 2 about that, based on experience, especially 3 working with a court-ordered population. Very 4 often this population is labor-intensive to work 5 with. It takes time. What if we can't meet that 6 requirement of 30-day turnaround? I mean, 7 possibly 90 days. We also work in a court system 8 that has its own requirement in terms of 9 reporting back. But once it's reported back, the 10 court then takes action, which is enforceable. 11 So I'm not sure we're going to be able to meet 12 the 30-day deadline. 13 MR. SANG KANG: Okay. 14 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: So would we be 15 disqualified because of that? 16 MR. SANG KANG: We're going to take 17 the question under advisement and answer in 18 writing. 19 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Okay. The 20 second question was with regard to that Work Plan 21 product in terms of the requirement to evaluate COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S47 1 progress after a Parenting Plan is generated. 2 To evaluate that, checking the 3 population quarterly, I don't see that as 4 practical, quite frankly. Very labor-intensive. 5 So based on our experience, certainly that's an 6 enforceable document once it is entered through 7 the court system as a Consent Order. And there's 8 a mechanism whereby if it's not happening, people 9 come back to court to get it enforced. So if 10 that doesn't happen, then generally we know that 11 it's working, or it's working good enough. 12 So, again, I would wonder would we be 13 disqualified if we're not able to do it 14 quarterly? I don't see that as a practical -- I 15 just don't see that as a practical requirement, 16 quite frankly, is my comment. 17 MR. SANG KANG: Which requirement is 18 that? 19 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: That you have 20 to evaluate the progress of the Parenting Plan by 21 checking up on it every quarter. For how long? COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S48 1 And, you know, sometimes it's hard to track 2 people down. They don't have telephones. They 3 move. 4 So what is practical? What can you 5 reasonably -- I mean, I understand the intention 6 of that. I understand in terms of your 7 deliverables and what you want to be able to 8 guarantee. But in terms of working in the field, 9 I'm not convinced that I'm going to be able to 10 meet that requirement, quite frankly. People 11 move; they change their telephone numbers; you 12 can't find them and, yet, the family's working 13 okay. Maybe the family's not, but I'm not sure 14 how much of a burden you can place on the Awardee 15 to track that. 16 MR. HUBERT CHANG: Okay. So is your 17 question whether the Department would consider an 18 alternative to that requirement? Or is your 19 question whether the Department would relax the 20 requirement? I'm not sure exactly what -- I'm 21 not sure what your question really is. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S49 1 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: So I guess my 2 question is: Would the Department relax that 3 requirement? And would we be disqualified if we 4 weren't able to do that every quarter? 5 MR. HUBERT CHANG: And is there a 6 specific proposal that you would think might be 7 achievable in your own mind? 8 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Well, I can 9 only speak from our own venue and for our own 10 venue. And I understand all the Applicants come 11 from different venues. 12 Because we're a court setting, as I 13 said, our mechanism is if that is not being 14 followed, people have the ability to come back 15 and get it enforced. So we know, if it comes 16 back, we know they're having trouble. 17 But we also have in our Parenting Plan 18 that they can voluntarily. They don't even have 19 to file in court; they can voluntarily come back 20 to the office. So some people who don't file, 21 will come back for a followup. That would then COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S50 1 tell us: We've got problems going on here; we've 2 got to work it out. 3 If they're not doing that, then 4 generally we assume that it's working. I mean, 5 we don't have the resources to go out and find 6 people and call them up and say: Is it working? 7 MR. HUBERT CHANG: So as I understand 8 your question, your question is: Would the 9 Department consider modifying or relaxing the 10 requirement? 11 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Yes. 12 MR. HUBERT CHANG: And we'll take that 13 under advisement. 14 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: No other 15 questions. 16 MR. SANG KANG: Any other questions? 17 (No Response.) 18 MR. SANG KANG: So there are no other 19 questions? 20 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Do you know about 21 how long before we get answers? Because they're COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S51 1 due August 10th, and obviously some of those 2 answers will depend on whether people put in for 3 it, quite honestly. 4 MR. SANG KANG: Probably next week, 5 maybe late in the week. 6 MS. CATHY MEYERS: Okay. 7 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: So would you 8 just review the website where we go to check for 9 those answers, just the address for the website? 10 MR. SANG KANG: Oh, I don't have it 11 here, but it's a DHR website. It's Department of 12 Human Resources. 13 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Right. I just 14 thought we'd put it on the record. 15 MR. SANG KANG: It's the DHR website. 16 You would click on Business Center and then 17 there's a list of RFPs on the left. 18 MS. SHARON IANNACONE: Okay. Thank 19 you. 20 Closing Comments 21 MR. SANG KANG: Thank you all for COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S52 1 attending the Pre-Proposal Conference for CSEA 2 Access & Visitation Programs. 3 The Proposals are due at 3:00 p.m. on 4 Monday, August the 10th, and we need to have the 5 Proposals in our mailroom by that time and date. 6 And if you bring them into the building, I will 7 have -- I'll be here and I'll have like a receipt 8 for you. But if they aren't received in the 9 mailroom, you know, we have to disqualify the 10 Proposal if they're not there by 3:00 p.m. 11 MR. HUBERT CHANG: To clarify: You do 12 not need to have them in the mailroom. They need 13 to be delivered to the Procurement Officer. If 14 they are received in the mailroom at that time, 15 that will be construed to be received by the 16 Procurement Officer. 17 If you mail it, it is highly 18 recommended that you use Express Mail or some 19 other form of mailing that will get you a return 20 receipt, so that you can verify the time that we 21 actually received it. COURT REPORTERS, ETCetera, INC. "We'll cover your job ANYWHERE in the country!"REQUEST FOR GRANT PROPOSALS - July 24, 2015 CSEA/AV/16-001-S53 1 It is not the Department's 2 responsibility to make sure that the mail gets 3 here on time. There will be no receipt if you 4 don't have a receipt. If the Post Office doesn't 5 deliver it on time, it will not be timely. It is 6 for that reason highly recommended that you 7 submit your Proposals by hand to the Procurement 8 Officer who will be waiting at the building at 9 that time, or deliver it on the specified due 10 date on time. 11 MS.

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.
Is the data live?
The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.
What do P10 and P90 mean?
P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
