REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR:
COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARDS FOR REGIONAL 
HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
1.0
INTENT:
In 2019, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) began to regionalize Maricopa 
County to better reflect its diverse communities from rural to urban communities, and racial, ethnic, age, 
and socio-economic diversity. Regionalization was supported by the 2019 Community Health Needs 
Assessment which is conducted every 3 years. This assessment provides an opportunity for residents to 
inform data collection efforts about health issues, social determinants of health, community strengths and 
opportunities impacting their communities which is then used to generate Health Improvement Plans. 
Hospitals, government, community, and faith-based agencies come together to work on these issues 
through the Health Improvement Partnership of Maricopa County (HIPMC). To learn more about our 2019 
CHNA and our 2020 COVID-19 Impact CHNA please visit: www.maricopahealthmatters.org. 
In June 2022, using Health Disparities funding provided by the CDC, MCDPH created three Community 
Advisory Boards (CAB) located in the Central, Southeast, and Northwest Valley. As agencies have worked 
together within those CABs to create Regional Health Improvement Plans, they came to the realization that 
not all identified communities are represented. Therefore, MCDPH is seeking to contract with additional 
agencies that represent the following populations so that they may participate in the existing CABs:
 

People over the age of 65

Currently or previously incarcerated individuals 

Rural areas 

Racial or ethnic minorities 

Tribal

Refugee, immigrant, migrant or asylum seekers 

LGBTQ+

Disabled 

Homeless/Unsheltered 
Contractors shall be paid $1,000 per month (paid out as $3,000 per quarter) for their active participation in 
the CAB and fulfillment of all expectations as listed in the Scope of Work. The total number of awarded 
contracts will be dependent on the number of responses received, the populations and communities 
proposed, and the results of the evaluation committee. It is anticipated that the maximum amount to be 
spent on all awarded contracts shall not exceed $1,000,000. At this time, the current Health Disparities 
funding for this project is scheduled to end May 31, 2023; however, MCDPH is hopeful this funding will 
be extended. Therefore, it is our intent to have these contracts begin January 1, 2023, and run through May 
31, 2024, with the mutual understanding that the actual term will be contingent on continued and available 
funding. If there is a continuous need for these or similar services beyond May 31, 2024, and additional 
funding is identified, contracts may be extended and/or amended for those Contractors who have been 
identified as providing satisfactory 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.

SCOPE OF WORK: 
Contractor shall: 
2.1
Actively participate in an existing Community Advisory Board (CAB) made up of funded partners 
representing a specific region of Maricopa County (e.g., NW, SE, Central).  Contractor shall 
identify one person to attend monthly meetings and be the point person to maintain regular 
communications to meet action plan development deliverables.  The CAB will work 
collaboratively with MCDPH staff and the Health Improvement Partnership of Maricopa County 
(HIPMC) to develop and implement a Regional Health Improvement Plan (RHIP) for each region. 
The CAB will be led by a contracted consultant who will help guide the process. Each CAB will 
also be co-facilitated by a Regional Health Equity Manager (RHEM) to provide technical support 
and act as conduit between the CABs and MCDPH. Contractor’s participation in the CAB shall 
support the following, but is not limited to:
2.1.1
Develop goals, objectives, and shared timelines for the RHIP to address social 
determinants of health in rural, suburban, and urban parts of the region for priority areas 
informed by 2019 and 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) data.
2.1.2
Represent an underserved or minoritized community to ensure their voice is present in 
the RHIP and to provide education for MCDPH staff and other agencies in attendance 
related to that community. In addition, review and implement solutions to address priority 
areas for all vulnerable populations (e.g., BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, unhoused, etc.) within the 
specified region.
2.1.3
Determine data gaps for further analysis.
2.1.4
Inform and educate MCDPH regarding outreach and engagement techniques that are 
culturally and linguistically appropriate for macro and micro communities within the 
region.
2.1.5
Determine strategies for increasing COVID-19 testing and vaccine availability across 
populations that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
2.1.6
Mobilize community partners, community-based organizations (CBO), and residents to 
participate in the 2022/2023 Maricopa County CHNA to ensure accurate, culturally 
competent, and equitable data collection that will represent each region.
2.1.7
Complete a Health Equity Readiness Assessment to determine health equity needs, 
training, supports, and other resources as well as identify opportunities for additional and 
future funding for response amongst community-based partners.
2.1.8
Prepare and submit a narrative report (in a template to be provided) to MCDPH following 
the final meeting of the CAB. The report will provide Contractors the opportunity to 
provide commentary and convey their thoughts on the Community Advisory Board 
experience. The report shall be due no later than 30 days after the final CAB meeting.

SERIAL#: PH RFP 230064
Page 5 of 30
MCDPH shall:
2.2
Compensate Contractors at the end of each quarter pending verification of CAB meeting 
attendance, reporting of deliverables, and completion of any other additional tasks assigned to the 
Contractor by the CAB. Contractors will be paid a flat rate of $1,000 per month to include all 
expenses related to CAB participation (staff costs, mileage, etc.). Invoices are to be submitted by 
the Contractor once per quarter for a maximum payout of $3,000. 
2.2.1
If it is determined the Contractor has not fully completed all the assigned tasks or failed 
to participate as required, the expected payout may be adjusted accordingly. Any disputes 
resulting from decreased compensation payouts shall be reviewed and settled by the 
Health Disparities Program Manager.
2.3
Produce and distribute a template for the narrative report Contractors are expected to submit 
following the final CAB meeting. The template shall include MCDPH’s expectations as to the 
type of information Contractor will be expected to share in the final report.

agreed, the Procurement Officer shall either:

Prime contractors and subcontractors can add themselves to the Planholder’s list by agreeing to allow Periscope 
S2G to release company information to any interested Prime or subcontractor looking to partner on this bid. 
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.
