Specifications include, but are not limited to: FSD is seeking to enter into a contract or contracts with one or more vendors to provide 24/7 on-call staffing to provide emergency supervision of youth in the care and/or custody of DCF that are in an alternative placement setting instead of a licensed residential treatment program due to lack of placement resources or child/youth disruption from such a placement. For the purposes of this RFP FSD anticipates a staffing need of at least 2 teams of 2, with an additional 1 or 2 “relief” positions to provide coverage when team members need a break. Transporting youth between locations (i.e. a police station to the temporary location) will be involved. It is estimated that each month there will be a need for 1,250-1,400 hours of staffing. This staffing may include but is not limited to 3-day shifts, 24 hour shifts, and overnight staffing. — the actual number of requests for supervision may be higher or lower and the length of time for each request may be shorter or longer.
