The Cuyahoga County Department of Health and Human Services issued an informal RFP to produce a comprehensive re‑entry resource guide for formerly incarcerated individuals, requiring both print and electronic versions and semi‑annual updates over a two‑year period. The contract was awarded to a consortium of ten vendors, each providing expertise in research, publishing, and community services.
• Scope includes research of all local re‑entry services, creation of a full‑size (500 copies/yr) and pocket‑size (5,000 copies/yr) guide, and delivery of a digital version.
• Vendors must maintain the guide with semi‑annual updates, provide project management plans, and meet specific insurance requirements ( $1M per occurrence liability, A‑VII carrier rating, etc.).
• The contract runs approximately from June 2023 to June 2025, with a total estimated value in the mid‑hundreds of thousands of dollars, and involves a mixture of consulting and printing services.
