GENESEE COUNTY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH BOARD REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE I. PURPOSE AND SPECIFICATIONS Genesee County Community Mental Health Board (hereinafter referred to as the Board ) is seeking sealed informational proposals from interested and qualified parties to provide CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. This software will be provided to Genesee County Community Mental Health (GCCMH). Proposals must be clear, concise, typewritten, and must be signed in ink by the official authorized to bind the submitter to its provisions. The contents of this REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) will become incorporated within any contract signed by the Board and the provider of service. Do not retype this RFI, instead, respond on a separate page and cite the section number for each response. All areas of the bid proposal must be addressed in the same sequence cited in the RFI instructions in order that proper consideration is given to the proposal. Proposals submitted without information or incomplete content will result in the proposal being removed from consideration. The bidder must complete an RFI Bidder Cover Sheet and attach to the proposal. Bidders must respond in writing to all questions listed in Section II Bidder Criteria and Response Requirements. Please submit any questions concerning this RFI to dhunter@gencmh.org by 10/5/12 at 12:00 p.m. GCCMH will post responses to the questions on our website, www.gencmh.org, in the RFP Opportunities section under RFI. Proposals will be accepted until 10/15/2012 at 1:00 p.m. Proposals must be received by this date and time in order for the proposal to be considered. The following should be noted on the outside of the envelope: CONFIDENTIAL CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE RFI MATERIALS ENCLOSED DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 10/15/2012 AT 1:15 P.M. All Bidders must be available, if selected to be a presenter, to provide an interactive webinar of their proposed solution using WebEx or similar type media during the period of 10/22/12 to 10/25/12. Bidders will be scheduled into an individual time slot during that period to make their internet based presentation. Presentation must, at a minimum, provide details regarding requirements as listed in the Services Description section of this RFI (pages 7 and 8). Any change to this RFI subsequent to its release will be confirmed in writing by the Board. One original and five copies of each proposal must be submitted in a sealed envelope.

Proposals must be mailed or personally presented to the following address: Genesee County Community Mental Health Board Attention: Contract Management Department 725 Mason Street Flint, MI 48503 Proposals will be publicly opened on 10/15/2012 at 1:15 p.m. at 725 Mason Street, Flint MI. 48503. The proposal shall cover services beginning on or about 12/3/2012 as agreed upon by the Contractor and the Board. Proposals must be presented for a minimum of one year. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any/all bid proposals received pursuant to this RFI, in whole or in part; and/or to waive any/all irregularities therein; and/or to delete/reduce the units of service; and/or to negotiate proposal terms in any way whatsoever to obtain a proposal as deemed in its best interest. The Board reserves the right to re-solicit/re-advertise as deemed necessary. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Board operates as a Mental Health Board under the provisions of Act 258 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1974, as amended. The Board intends to enter into a contract with a for-profit or non-profit entity or entities to provide CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. It is expected that the proposal to provide this software will be in compliance with all applicable State and Federal standards and guidelines. The Board manages and provides, both directly and through existing contracts, a continuum of services to persons with mental health disabilities or substance use disorders who are located within the County of Genesee. Services are directed to persons who meet the criteria found in the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association. Priority is given to the provision of services to individuals and families with severe and persistent mental illness, substance use disorder, children with serious emotional disturbance, and persons with developmental disabilities. Managed care has created a need for the Board to more clearly define the role of and expectations for providers from whom CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE are purchased. The RFI establishes criteria and requirements that have been designed to cover important aspects of the software and services to be provided. The Board has chosen to meet the challenge of managed care by managing its mental health care service delivery through evaluation and monitoring, and expecting its service providers to be solely responsible for managing its operations consistent with terms of the accepted contract. Consequently, the submitter should be aware that providers from whom the Board purchases mental health services are expected to operate in the marketplace and be able to effectively meet the requirements for establishing and maintaining a contractual relationship with the Board. COST LIABILITY

The Board assumes no responsibility or liability for costs by the bidder, or any bidder prior to the execution of a contract between the organization and the Board. BIDDER RESPONSIBILITIES All inquiries concerning the content of the RFI shall be addressed to the address cited on page three (3) of the RFI. It is the responsibility of the bidder to understand all details of the RFI. The bidder, by submitting a response indicates a full understanding of all details and specifications of the RFI. Bidders are expected to present narrative statement/summaries in a clear, concise and organized manner for review. The bidder is solely responsible for delivery of its informational proposal, to the Contract Management Department at Genesee County Community Mental Health, located at 725 Mason Street, Flint, Michigan 48503, no later than 1 p.m. on 10/15/2012. Please submit one original and five copies of the proposal. The Contract Management Department will be the sole point of contact throughout the RFI process. RFIs submitted after the deadline will not be considered and will be discarded. All RFIs submitted by the deadline will become the property of Genesee County Community Mental Health Board. OTHER MATERIALS Bidders may attach other materials believed to be relevant to illustrating the bidder s ability to successfully carry out these services. AWARD OF CONTRACT It is the intent of the Board to enter into a contract with a provider that will emphasize administrative efficiencies, and possess the capacity, infrastructure and organizational competence to perform required functions necessary for managed care under this proposal. Award recommendations are contingent upon an initial evaluation of the bidder s qualifications to determine if the bidder is a quality service provider. The bidder s policies and procedures may be evaluated as a further determination of quality. There are three steps to the evaluation process that may determine a successful bidder. The first threshold is an evaluation of the written response to the RFI. The second involves interviews with bidder s customers. Based on the results of the evaluation the third step may involve an interactive webinar presentation. The process of evaluating each bidder s proposal may involve interviews with a random sampling of the bidder s current and previous customers. This is not an exclusive criterion for awarding the contract.

In addition to access to customers, the evaluation process must be assured of unimpeded access to employees of the bidder (current and former), regulators, and other stakeholders. Specific requests for information, to assist the evaluators, will be submitted to the prospective bidder in order to facilitate sampling satisfaction. It is anticipated that contract(s) will be awarded on or before 12/3/2012. Bidders who are awarded contracts shall not have the right to assign or delegate any of their duties or obligations under the contract to any other party without written permission of the Board. DISCLOSURE All information in a bidder s proposal is subject under the provisions of Public Act No. 442 of 1976 known as the Freedom of Information Act. CONFLICT OF INTEREST Bidders awarded a contract will affirm that no principal, representative, agent, or other acting on behalf of or legally capable of acting on the behalf of the bidder, is currently an employee of the Board; nor will any such person connected to the bidder currently be using or privy to any information regarding the Board which may constitute a conflict of interest. At the time of bidding, any bidder shall disclose any known direct or indirect financial interests (including but not limited to ownership, investment interests, or any other form of remuneration) that may be present between the contractor or his/her potential subcontractors, and CMH personnel. This disclosure shall be made to the VP of Business Operations who will forward the information to the CEO. As part of their bid, include a list of any known potential subcontractors, including the portion of bid work being contracted out to other licensed contractors. This listing of potential subcontractors shall be limited to the name of the company, name of the company s owner(s), and business address. If any other subcontractor is selected after a bid is awarded, the successful bidder shall provide CMH with the name of the company, its owner(s), and address. This requirement is not intended to apply to minimal relationships such as the purchase of a small dollar amount of supplies to complete a project. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES (INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR) The relationship between the Board and any bidders successful in obtaining a contract is that of GCCMH and independent contractor. No agent, employee, or servant of the contractor shall be deemed an employee, agent, or servant of the Board for any reason. The contractor will be solely and entirely responsible for its acts and the acts of its agents, employees, and servants during the performance of a contract resulting from the RFI. NO WAIVER OF DEFAULT

The failure of the Board to insist upon strict adherence to any term of a contract resulting from this RFI shall not be considered a waiver or deprive the Board of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term, or any other term, of the contract. DISCLAIMER All the information contained within this RFI and its attachments reflect the best and most accurate information available to the Board at the time of the RFI preparation. No inaccuracies in such information shall constitute a basis for legal recovery of damages, either real or punitive. If it becomes necessary to revise any part of this RFI, a supplement will be issued to all bidders who obtained the original RFI.
