RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute agreements with agencies listed below
in a combined amount up to $2,215,678.00 for a term commencing October 1, 2020 and

DISCUSSION:
The City Manager's Directions Home Division approached the Purchasing Division to issue a Request
for Proposals (RFP) seeking Firms to: 1) increase or maintain permanent supportive housing; 2)
quickly house people in permanent housing; or 3) improve overall system capacity. The RFP
consisted of specifications explaining the need for various housing programs and overall improvement
of the homeless system. Proposals were scored based on the strength of the proposed program,
program performance, outcomes and quality, organizational capacity of the agency, and budget. The
RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 10, June 17, June 24, July 1 and July 8,
2020. The City closed the RFP on July 9, 2020. The City received 17 responses. Staff from
the Directions Home Division and Neighborhood Services Department evaluated the proposals and
found the below listed firms to be experienced and well equipped to perform the needed services.
A waiver of the goal M/WBE subcontracting requirement is approved by the Office of Business
Diversity, in accordance with the M/WBE or BIDE ordinance, because the purchase of goods or
services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
Any renewals are contingent on funds being appropriated.
City staff recommends awarding agreements to the listed agencies in the amounts listed below:
Agencies impacted by a decrease in funding will be notified as soon as practicable.
Directions Home services and programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
