Summary of Specifications:
The County, through its Office for the Aging (“OCOFA”), is seeking proposals from Offerors to provide certain supportive services to citizens age 60 and over (“60+ Seniors”) in accordance with Title III-B of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as subsequently amended (the “OAA”). In general, it is the intent of Congress that federal funds under the OAA be used to improve the ability of local support services to assist 60+ Seniors to remain in a home environment and participate in community and family life. It is further the intent of Congress that the use of federal funds under the OAA provide support services to those 60+ Seniors with the greatest economic and social need including low income, minority, handicapped, isolated and frail.
The supportive services for which Offerors are to submit proposals in response to this RFP are (a) Information and Assistance; and (b) In-Home Contact and Support. Offerors may propose a program designed to provide one or both of these services. The services may be performed in outreach locations, institutions and participant residences within the County. Multiple contracts may be awarded to ensure service coverage throughout the County.
