Request For Proposal (RFP) Overview

A Request for Proposal (RFP) may be used when FNRC determines there is a need for specific services for individuals with developmental disabilities served by the Regional Center. The needed services are identified in the RFP project announcement of start-up funding availability. FNRC may elect to fund all, part, or none of the project depending upon funding availability as approved by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), and the quality of proposals received; and pending the approval of the project as written.

Each RFP describes the service concept and start-up funding availability (if any). The brief description is not intended to limit the types of proposals considered to serve the identified populations.

A RFP does not commit FNRC to award a contract, to pay any cost incurred in the preparation of the proposal, to contract in response to the RFP, or to procure or contract for services or supplies.

The values that FNRC uses to determine quality services should be connected to the RFP proposal in defining service expectations for the project. Innovative, person-centered service delivery models are encouraged.

View our Request for Proposals Policy on our policies page.

On-Going Identified Resource Needs

Far Northern Regional Center has identified on-going resource needs to serve our community.  Development of on-going resources and vendorization of services typically do not require the use of a RFP.  Projects requiring the use of the RFP process include Start-Up awards, approved by DDS, in excess of $55K and the development of new Family Home Agency’s (FHA).  The following are identified as on-going resource needs:

*Attention Service Providers* Shasta County Opportunity Center (OC) is holding a series of community meetings regarding the potential closure of their employment and vocational programs. The outcomes of these meetings are to help inform the Shasta County Board of Supervisors (BOS) of community concerns as well as potential resources that may be available to help transition these programs.

On December 6th, the BOS is set to make their decision as to whether or not they will be closing the OC. Please click here if you are interested in learning more about upcoming meetings regarding the potential transition of services to new providers. You will also find information regarding what will be required from FNRC for new service providers interested in being vendored for these programs.
