REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) INFORMATION

Contracting Authority Overview & Neighborhood Center for Families (NCF)

The Orange County Citizens’ Commission for Children (CCC), a Division of the Orange County Family

Services Department, is soliciting proposals from nonprofit organizations in Orange County for program

services to be funded during FY 2015-2016. This funding will be allocated through its Citizens’ Review

Panel for Human Services Advisory Board (CRP). This membership board consists of advisory board

members who are appointed by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and the Orlando

City Council for the purpose of making funding recommendations for the allocation of human service

dollars to the nonprofit community. Funding for this Request for Proposal is solely from Orange County

Government and shall be used exclusively to support Orange County citizens, whether through the

community at-large and/or through our Neighborhood Centers for Families (NCFs).

The Citizens’ Commission for Children has developed and implemented the Neighborhood Centers for

Families (NCF) Model, adopting the principles of the Family Support Model, which includes but is not

limited to the following philosophy:

Services to children are provided within the context of the family.

Services are neighborhood-based and recognize the demands on family time and resources.

Programs and services are directed toward measurable outcomes and utilize best practices.

Children, families, communities and service providers are held fiscally and

programmatically accountable.

Neighborhood Centers for Families are available to citizens in thirteen (13) communities throughout

Orange County. Each NCF is uniquely designed to meet the needs of that community by offering a

variety of services and activities to children and families in their neighborhoods. Any agency applying

for funding through this Request for Proposal, which specifically references In Support of an NCF*,

must have the capacity to provide delivery of services to the citizens of that community with priority

consideration to all referrals received from other Neighborhood Centers for Families.

Contingent upon the availability of funding, Orange County may award competitive grants to eligible

nonprofit organizations who propose services consistent with the County’s objectives and goals in

providing quality core program services in the identified service areas. The County reserves the right to

select parts of proposals for funding without obligation to fund or support other parts of the proposal. It

shall be at the discretion of the County whether to fund in full, partially, or not fund any proposal during

this review process. Successful agencies must agree to the delivery of services and to terms and

conditions set forth by the County.

The CRP Advisory Board will make their preliminary funding recommendations, which shall be

forwarded to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners for approval. The Citizens’

Commission for Children’s staff will inform all agencies in writing of the preliminary funding

recommendations. There is no appeal process for this Request for Proposal process.

In Support of an NCF* - See Request for Proposals Section of this manual.

AGENCY ELIGIBILITY Meeting the eligibility to submit a funding proposal in no way ensures the agency will be recommended for

funding by the CRP Advisory Board. Funding is not obligated to replace program revenue that may have been

reduced by any other funder and do not commit Orange County and/or the City of Orlando to pay for any costs

incurred in the preparation of the funding proposal. We ask that you carefully review the eligibility

requirements in the next section, General Contract Requirements and Review Standards in its entirety prior to

completing the proposal, as these are the minimum standards that have been established by Orange County and

the City of Orlando.

The submission of a funding proposal does not guarantee receipt of an award.

GENERAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS & REVIEW STANDARDS

Any agency seeking Orange County and/or the City of Orlando funding must meet eligibility requirements

outlined below. Agencies approved for funding by the CRP Advisory Board must agree to enter into a

contract for the provision of delivery of services for one (1) year, commencing on October 1, 2015 and ending

15. The agency must prepare and make available to the public an annual report that includes a full
