Dear Proposer:
The City of Berkeley is soliciting written proposals from qualified firms or individuals to work with the City of Berkeley to establish and operate the Specialized Care Unit (SCU), a 24/7 behavioral health crisis response team. This team will respond to individuals in Berkeley who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis without the assistance of law enforcement. As a Request for Proposal (RFP) this is not an invitation to bid and although price is very important, other factors will be taken into consideration.
The project scope, content of proposal, and vendor selection process are summarized in the RFP (attached). Proposals must be received no later than 2:00 p.m., on , August 23, 2022. Proposals are to be sent via email with the “Specialized Care Unit Provider” and Specification No. 22-11533-C clearly indicated in the subject line of the email. Please submit one (1) PDF of the technical proposal. Corresponding pricing proposal shall be submitted as a separate document.

City of Berkeley
Finance Department/General Services Division

The City retains the right to award all or parts of this contract to several bidders, to not select any bidders, and/or to re-solicit proposals.
