PSCO-853 Youth Tobacco Prevention and Education Program 
Pre-bid Meeting March 4, 2009
Questions and Answers



Q1: Under the Scope of Services number three, if there is already a pre-existing DE Kick 
Butts Generation at a school where we have a wellness center, can we utilize that 
program?

A1: You can put it in the proposal if you feel it addresses number three. 

Q2: Can we work in conjunction with larger firms or agencies that have existing 
statewide tobacco prevention programs through RFPs or would this be a conflict? 

A2: There are several programs that we fund (several through this RFP).  There are 
other agencies such as the Kids Department that may have programs as well. We feel 
that the more collaboration between programs the better.  

Q3: Is it a requirement to subcontract with businesses listed with the Delaware Office of 
Minority and Women Business Enterprise?  How is this criteria applied under the RFP 
Proposal Evaluation Criteria? 

A3:  It is encouraged but not required.  This is applied under the “Qualifications of 
Vendor” portion of the evaluation criteria specifically: Demonstrates the ability to 
collaborate with agencies, groups, or individuals, to realize the project’s goals.  

Q4: Would a successful pilot program that was implemented in one school district and 
then implemented statewide in the future meet the intent of the scope of services?

A4: The intent of the scope of services is to reach the entire state of Delaware.  Pilot 
programs that are included in the proposal should have measurable objectives and a 
clear plan for evaluation.  Proposals should address each of the components listed 
under the scope of services.
