RECEIVED 4/18/2018 Is the Respondent required to contract with Local School District(s) if Respondent is already registered as a Private Alternative School with the Florida Department of Education? Can the Respondent utilize current Alternative School Funding sources such as McKay, Garnier Scholarships, etc.. or is the school funding mandated through the Local School District(s)? If the Respondents Facility does not have adequate outdoor recreational space, can the respondent utilize public parks and/or various community based options located within 1-2 miles of the Facility? Is Circuit 13, Hillsborough County, not available for service provision as reflected in this ITN? Does the identified Funding amount cover each Circuit or does it cover each 30 slot program within that Circuit? THE TRANSITION HOUSE RECEIVED 4/17/2018 Are these programs requested currently operating or is this new funding? Can Case managers meet the requirements for mental health staff in lieu of hiring more staff (i.e., if we have 3 LCSW/LMHC) will that meet the requirement of 10 to 1 for case management. Can they serve in a dual capacity? In reading Attachment Q: is it mandatory that we have at least two years of experience within the past 5 years in PROVIDED SERVICES IN THE DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND/OR DELIVERING OF PROGRAMS TO AT-RISK AND/OR DELINQUENT YOUTH to even bid on this procurement. We have many years of mental health, substance abuse and correctional experience both in outpatient, aftercare, and residential settings to include providing GED/ABE services. Would this eliminate us from even bidding? AMIKIDS RECEIVED 4/18/2018 If respondent proposes to provide services in more than one circuit, should a separate application be submitted for each circuit? If only one application is to be submitted regardless of the number of circuits, will the page limitation be revised to accommodate information needed for multiple sites (i.e., floor plans?) Please confirm ALL of the allowed department attachments (organizational chart, Activity Schedule, etc.) that are not considered part of the 70 page limit. Page 7 of 10

Question #12 Answer #12 Question #13 Answer #13 Question #14 Answer #14 Question #15 Answer #15 Question #16 Answer #16 Question #17 Answer #17 Question #18 Answer #18 Question #19 Answer #19 Question #20 Answer #20 Question #21 Answer #21 Question #22 Answer #22 Section III.A.1.a indicates 1) requirement that transportation to and from the alternative school must be provided 2) funding for alternative school at the FBDT site. Is the decision whether to transport the youth to an alternative school site provided by the district or provide education on site based upon the agreement with the school district or is the department requiring one approach? Confirm that respondent contracts directly with, and receives funding from, the local school district. Section V.B. indicates that services shall be provided 250 days regardless of alternative school planning days. How are staff training days provided for? Please confirm that redirections contract (referenced on page 19 Section B.3.) provides for services to be provided within the community. This would be necessary to provide redirections services at the Day Treatment Program site. Are vocational education services ONLY required for youth admitted to the program with a degree OR all youth at the program? Page 20 Section B.15. What is the funding for the provision of in-home crisis resolution and intensive intervention services? Page 26 Section 2.i. Please clarify the expectations of services to be provided on evenings and weekends referenced on page 31 Section 8.a. Please confirm that the respondent may partner with others in the community to provide structured activities as outlined on page 32 section 9.e. Please provide the location of a current facility that meets the criteria for the facility as outlined. Will there be any changes to the QI standards as a result of this ITN?

Answer #25 Question #26 Answer #26 Question #27 Answer #27 Question #28 Answer #28 Question #29 Answer #29 Question #30 Answer #30 Question #31 Answer #31 Question #32 Answer #32 Question #33 Answer #33 Question #34 Answer #34 Question #35 Answer #35 Question #36 Answer #36 Question #37 Answer #37 (Through Re-directions simultaneously)? Or would transporting a youth to an outside site for CBT or FFT meet the MH/SA Treatment part of a youth s treatment plan? Is there a stipulation for how far away a youth lives and the site that they are sent to? The ITN suggests they should not be transported more than a 90 min drive. Would they be expected to be transported weekly for CBT or FFT services? Can a 13, 14 or 15 year old 6th grader be enrolled? School districts require 300 instructional minutes per day, 5 days per week. It will be difficult to provide Saturday services IN LIEU OF a weekday and still satisfy that requirement. With that in mind, will there be additional funding to provide Saturday services? Can school board youth attend the program if they are only attending the alternative school portion? Please confirm whether existing day treatment program facilities have to go through the same facility approval process as new locations? The ITN contains case management requirements that far exceed current DJJ rule. Is the Department providing additional funding to meet these requirements? The ITN is requiring weekly contacts with the youth, family and programs during transition from residential programs. How would the department like it documented when the party cannot be reached? How will this effect billing and contract compliance? Is the department providing any start up funding to refresh existing programs (painting)? If a provider and a school district have a cooperative agreement for bus routes that is successful, can door-to-door transportation be used only when youth are not successful at utilizing the school bus route? What is the expectation for the length of time the provider will engage with the youth during follow-up services? Is the expectation that round the clock mean 24 hours on call availability of A staff member or ALL staff members (case managers)? The ITN says: Describe the proposed program approach to ensure each youth will receive round the clock supportive relationships through case management, contacts and coaching, supervision, on site and off site, including weekends. Is the expectation that all staff will be available to the youth 24 hours per day, or just one staff (e.g. the case manager)? Page 9 of 10

Question #38 Answer #38 Question #39 Answer #39 Question #40 Answer #40 Question #41 Answer #41 Question #42 Answer #42 Question #43 Answer #43 Question #44 Answer #44 Question #45 Answer #45 Will you give an example of coaching that should be provided by case managers? Is a separate budget required for each circuit proposed? Is there a maximum percentage of support on Attachment H allowed? Page 10. Transportation... May a provider continue to use common bus stops as an option, with door to door stops solely for those youth who are unable to successfully utilize a bus stop arrangement? Page 27. States that Delinquency interventions must be differentiated from Evidence-Based Mental Health/Substance Abuse Interventions. May a provider propose to use one model that is both an evidence based delinquency intervention and mental health treatment for those youth who have assessed needs in both areas, or must two separate interventions be proposed? In Staff Background Checks, Letter C on page 48 should the provider also reference the Clearinghouse rescreen requirements which differ for those who are not in the Clearinghouse? For the educational component, are digital curricula/blended learning environments allowed? AMIKIDS RECEIVED 4/17/2018 (PANAMA CITY MARINE INSTITUTE) In light of the new contract ITN s and Panama City s position as not being chosen as a facility site, can you help me with some technical information that we will need for planning purposes. Specifically, the DJJ Supplemental that we receive with our DOE funding, what are the requirements to continue receiving it? If we change to a new community-based services model, are we still eligible? If we do not get the new contract, but continue to operate a school under our current contract with the district, do we still qualify? And lastly, if we went charter, is it possible to create a charter DJJ school? Thank you for your consideration in this matter, the answer is critical to our planning moving forward. Page 10 of 10
