(a) The department of human resources is responsible for all aspects of the proposal, application and review process. The issuance of a request for proposal is not a commitment by the state to fund services listed in a given proposal. (b) Proposals may be submitted to the department of human resources by nonprofit organizations which are incorporated or are in the process of incorporating. Such organizations submitting a proposal must offer a single, legal entity which the department of human resources may contract with and hold responsible, even though the proposals may be made on behalf of more than one agency in a consortium arrangement. (c) The department of human resources reserves the right to return proposals for revision or to negotiate with applicants during the preparation of contracts. The department also reserves the right to allow the selected organizations to form or expand a consortium or other cooperative arrangements among organizations, if in the department's opinion this would strengthen the program and benefit the population group. |
