Proposals were scored based on the strength of the proposed program, program pertormance, 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.
