The purpose of this RFP is to identify Responders that are qualified to provide violence prevention services on an as-needed basis. The master contract will consist of community-based organizations or consortiums capable of providing services in the areas of expertise outlined in Section C ‘Services'. While the master contract establishes the framework for engaging selected Responders, it does not guarantee work or a set total compensation. Work assignments and associated compensation will be issued through individual work orders, which will be determined at the sole discretion of NSD based on its needs and available resources. Selected community-based organizations or consortiums may receive none, one, or multiple work orders throughout the contract term, with the scope and frequency of these orders determined solely by NSD’s needs.
