      Council Member Farías inquires about the reasons for delays in issuing multi-year RFPs for IBSPs. Kitty Chan from SBS explains the factors influencing the delay and the current approach.

      • SBS is waiting for survey results to potentially change the scope of the RFP
      • New leadership (commissioner) has requested a review of recent changes in work processes
      • During the pandemic, no RFPs were issued, but funding levels were maintained
      • Since 2021-2022, there has been a continuation of the same funding without new RFPs
      • The last 3-year RFP was issued in 2016, with only 1-year extensions since then
