Chair Lee questions Compass RFP application numbers and scoring criteria
Lee asks for total applications received. Officials report 209 center-based proposals with 121 awarded, 228 unique school-based providers with 147 awarded, and 3,500 individual school proposals. The minimum viable score was 70, based on organizational experience, staffing, community partnership, approach, and budget.
I'm going to defer to our youth services team to provide that information.
And then sort of the second part to that question, which I'll just ask, is what percentage of the center-based providers who submitted an application received an award?
So the first part is just total number of applications received for both.
Thank you, Chair.
I think it was roughly 209 center-based proposals.
Forgive me if I'm a little off.
And we had proposals from roughly 3,500, if you consider each of the individual schools, because we had a community district.
competition, it was many fewer than that, and we can get back to you.
Okay.
And then, okay, so 209, and then how many of those that submitted were awarded for the center-based?
121.
Right, 121.
Okay, out of the 209.
Okay.
And what percentage of school-based providers received an award?
So 3,500 applicants.
And then it was, sorry, what was the number?
We made 806 awards in the school-based competition.
Yes, and then there were, as you said, 3,500 that applied, right?
3,500 individual school proposals, but many fewer if we count them by the community district proposals.
Okay.
Just to add, sorry, for school-based, it was 228 providers, unique providers that applied.
147 were awarded.
For school-based?
For school-based.
Thank you.
And then what was the criteria used to score the Compass RFP applicants and what was deemed as an unviable score?
So the criteria was organizational experience, service requirement, staffing, community partnership, approach, and budget.
Those are the criteria that we looked at, and the minimum score was a 70.
Minimum was 70, okay.
Okay.
