All of the work was completed in a timely manner, including the deliverables in the contract, regular consultation, and response to grant partners who frequently reached out to the contractor for support. The few instances of delays were related to other parties.
The quality of the deliverables, including the quarterly training, the online training manuals, parenting education status and outcome reports, and other materials were exceptional. The contractor frequently adjusted the content as needed for the jail partners to make it as accessible and usable as possible.
The cost was minimal compared to the quality of the deliverables, the time invested, and the additional supports and resources that were provided. For example, the contractor leveraged university resources and partnerships expand the scope of the project in several ways, including leveraging outside training for Family Home Visitors, securing multiple interns for the project, securing an expert evaluator to conduct qualitative systems mapping, and developing training with child protection leaders.
The contractor went above and beyond the expectations identified in the contract as noted above.
