RFQ CBVH Job Placement Diagnostic Vocational Evaluation
Objective: Job Placement and Diagnostic Vocational Evaluation services for adults who are legally blind.
Contracts will be awarded statewide to bidders whose proposal meet the minimum Pass/Fail criteria for programs that continue the project goals of the Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped (CBVH), a division of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services as follows: 1) provide Job Placement services to those legally blind consumers referred from CBVH; and 2) provide Diagnostic Vocational Evaluations to CBVH referred legally blind consumers. The Commission proposes to award contracts statewide. Bidders may submit to provide either one or both of these services. Approximately $1.67M per year is available for this program statewide. Successful bidders will be expected to have the capacity to provide these services to CBVH consumers based upon referrals from CBVH. Bidders should keep in mind that award of a contract will NOT guarantee the successful bidder(s) any referrals or related payments from CBVH over the term of the contract. Thus, there is no guarantee of referrals and/or payments from any contract awarded pursuant to this RFQ. Payment to successful bidders will be based on attainment of successful outcomes as a result of the provision of services to the consumers referred from CBVH. The contract term for these services will be January 1, 2009 - December 31, 2013.
