Each request for proposals must describe the services to be provided pursuant to the contract, the desired outcomes and the proposed duration of the contract. 3. Before entering into a success contract, the Director must: (a) Determine that entering into the contract will improve the services provided pursuant to the contract and reduce the costs of the Department for providing the services; (b) Determine that the success contract will not create a conflict of interest for any employee or independent contractor of the Department or any other person or entity; and (c) Consult with any other state agency that may be affected by the contract. 4.
