REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR:
COMMUNITY OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT FOR 
UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS
1.0
INTENT:
COVID-19 highlighted the need to identify creative approaches to effectively outreach and engage with 
underserved communities. Often the best ways to educate and open a dialogue with others is by providing 
access to valued resources an individual may need today in order to educate and inform them with 
knowledge that will support their health tomorrow.
“Outreach & Engagement” describes a wide range of activities with a variety of end goals — increased 
awareness of a service, education on a particular topic, direct delivery of services/products, etc. To be most 
effective, outreach and engagement strategies should build upon an existing relationship with the 
community in need. Successful efforts are both culturally relevant and sensitive with a clear benefit to the 
target population. 
Through funding provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to address health disparities that were 
either created or worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health 
(MCDPH), Office of Community Empowerment (OCE) is seeking to award funds to multiple community-
based organizations (Contractors) within Maricopa County for the purpose of expanding or implementing 
outreach and engagement strategies that will impact physical and/or mental health in underserved 
communities. Funds are not intended to be used for goods or services requiring an on-going commitment 
such as staff augmentation or rental assistance. Instead, awards shall be used to purchase supplies and/or 
materials of value for distribution to the Contractor’s proposed target community with the intended purpose 
of allowing for education and/or dialogue about improving health. Therefore, proposed strategies and 
requested supplies/materials must be both meaningful and useful for the intended target population. When 
appropriate and possible, extra consideration should be made to purchase and distribute supplies/materials 
that have a direct impact on a person’s health. MCDPH shall make available, free of charge, various 
pamphlets and other COVID-19 health related literature to be given out in conjunction with the 
supplies/materials distributed by the Contractor.  
Proposals shall be submitted on a Project Worksheet (Attachment C) and be accompanied by all required 
documentation as listed in Section 5.5 of this request for proposal (RFP.)  With a goal of funding as many 
organizations as possible, MCDPH requests proposed budgets not exceed $50,000 per entity; however, we 
reserve the right to accept and award any proposal exceeding this amount if it is determined to be in the 
best interests of Maricopa County. Compensation will be on a cost-reimbursement basis and Contractors 
may invoice as often as needed with the final invoice due no later than March 31, 2023. Upon request, 
MCDPH may authorize limited advance payments to be made to Contractors who do not have sufficient 
capacity to purchase needed materials ahead of time. All work shall be completed and documented in a 
final report that shall also be due on March 31, 2023. If additional funds become available, awards resulting 
from this solicitation may be amended and/or extended based on the need for continuous services as well as 
satisfactory Contractor performance. Any additional deliverables or changes to the scope of work and/or 
compensation amounts, shall be subject to negotiation and approved by all parties. 
MCDPH reserves the right to award to multiple Contractors and to add additional Contractors, at the 
County’s sole discretion, in cases where the currently listed Contractors are of an insufficient number or 
skill set to satisfy the County’s needs. MCDPH reserves the right to award to those Contractors most 
advantageous to the County.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When the respondent clicks “Confirm and submit response,” they acknowledge that the information and 
documents entered in the e-procurement platform are accurate and represent the supplier’s actual proposal, 
quote, or bid.
The e-procurement platform registers the date/and time the offer has been received. Receipt of a respondent’s 
offer does not necessarily mean that an offer is finalized. ACCEPTANCE OF A RESPONDENT’S OFFER BY 
THE E-PROCUREMENT PLATFORM IS NOT AN INDICATION THAT THE COUNTY HAS ACCEPTED A 
RESPONDENT’S OFFER. THE COUNTY WILL DEEM A RESPONSE NON-RESPONSIVE IF RESPONDENT 
HAS FAILED TO INCLUDE ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION, INCLUDING ATTACHMENTS, WITH THEIR 
SUBMISSION. 
Be aware that entering information and uploading documents into the e-procurement platform may take 
considerable time. Allow sufficient time to complete the online forms and upload documents. It is recommended 
that suppliers submit responses a minimum of 24 hours prior to the closing deadline. The deadline for 
submitting information and documents will end at the closing time indicated in the solicitation. All information and 
documents must be fully entered, uploaded, acknowledged (Confirm) and recorded into the e-procurement 
platform before the closing time or the system will stop the process and the response will be considered late and 
will not be accepted.
Responses submitted in the e-procurement platform are completely secure. No one (including County 
purchasing staff) can see responses until after the deadline. Suppliers may modify or change their response at 
any time prior to the closing deadline. However, all modifications or changes must be completed and 
acknowledged (Confirm) in the e-procurement platform prior to the deadline. The e-procurement platform will 
post a notice that the modification/change (new offer) has been received. This notice from the e-procurement 
platform MUST be recorded prior to the closing date and time MST or the response will be considered late and 
will not be accepted.
