In conjunction with our Fiscal Year 2019-2020 resource development plan, the Community Services Department of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC) is releasing the below Request for Vendorization (RFV) and is seeking proposal submissions which will serve individuals who are served through NLACRC. Applicants being sought for an area specific service must have a physical office located in the requested area.
All applicants must demonstrate that they possess the necessary relevant professional experience and organizational capacity to create and sustain high quality, effective, long-term services that are responsive to the needs of the individual.
Note: These projects do not have startup funds associated with them. You are responsible for 100% of the initial start-up cost and continued maintenance of the business. RFV projects are considered critically needed services. However, per regulation, we must inform you that pursuant to Title 17 section 54322, (d) (10) Regional Centers cannot guarantee referrals.
An Applicants Conference to answer questions about these projects will be held on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 1:00pm at NLACRC’s Chatsworth office, 1st Floor Conference Room (CR143).
Providers interested in responding to this RFV may download a complete copy of the RFV and Proposal Writing Guidelines from the Service Provider tab of NLACRC’s website at www.nlacrc.org. Copies of the RFV will also be available at the Applicants’ Conference. Attendance at the Applicants’ Conference is not required for those who wish to apply, but is strongly recommended. The deadline for submission of proposals is May 11, 2019.
