Stevens questions DYCD on 12-month milestones for future procurement
Stevens asks what specific milestones providers and the Council should expect in the next 12 months regarding Beacon and Cornerstone procurement. Asherall says to expect intentionality around timeline, stakeholder engagement, and transparency, culminating in a concept paper and RFP.
I have one last question for you.
So what specific milestones should provider and council expect over the next 12 months regarding the future procurement of Beacon and Cornerstone community centers?
What should we expect?
So what you should expect is definitely more intentionality about really looking at, like, what is a realistic timeline to release an RFP?
We're still wrapping up our compass.
And so really looking at an intentional timeline to release an RFP, we want to be really intentional about stakeholder engagement.
We know one of the lessons that we've learned in the current process is, like, the importance of family engagement and schools and RAs and stuff like that.
And so.
It's a huge footprint, but we want to make sure that we allow that time and that grace to kind of like look at what are the trends, what are people saying, and how do we infuse.
And we may not make everybody happy, right?
But at least we could be intentional about having data.
Making sure that we engage all of our partners, and then being able to be transparent with kind of like what we're planning to put out there.
And then that'll be the concept paper and ultimately an RFP.
Okay.
Ms.
Harris, you wanted to say something, or you're good?
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Chair.
Thank you.
