RFP ACPHD-QIA 9000126 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Implementation

<< It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe the elements of Alameda County’s Community Health Improvement (CHIP) implementation activities that advance the identified priorities: Access to Care, Promoting Economic Opportunity, and Promoting Peaceful Families and Communities. ACPHD seeks to partner with local community-based organizations and accredited academic institutions with existing programs and the expertise, community trust, and operational capacity to extend the Department’s reach and effectiveness. Through these partnerships, ACPHD aims to strengthen its impact as the County’s Chief Health Strategist. The County intends to award $2.0 million with the option of extending the contract for an additional two years, depending on available funding. The contract period begins October 1, 2026, for an initial 12-month pilot. ACPHD will start by bringing partners together to confirm priorities, align roles, and launch early activities while putting the right data and evaluation tools in place. From there, the work shifts into active implementation—expanding what’s working, strengthening coordination, and using real-time feedback to adjust and show early progress. In the final phase, the focus is on making those gains stick by embedding successful practices, solidifying partnerships, and ensuring decisions continue to be guided by data. Throughout the process, ongoing community engagement and continuous learning will help keep the work responsive, practical, and focused on achieving meaningful and lasting impact. The Bidder deemed the most qualified, responsive, and responsible, and who meets the requirements outlined in the RFP, will receive the award. Bidders must propose activities aligned with one CHIP Priority. A total of three awards will be made, one per CHIP Priority. Each priority includes two indicators; bidders must select one indicator to address. In their proposals, bidders should clearly identify existing program(s) and select the CHIP Priority most aligned with their approach, which they will advance in partnership with ACPHD, and explain how their organization represents the strongest strategic fit to support a countywide health improvement effort.
