Description
Description
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals that will enable Juvenile Court Services in Polk County to select the most qualified Contractor to provide Early Services Programming to young offenders ages 12 and under that provide wraparound services to address issues that led to early delinquency system involvement and prevent recidivism.
The Early Services Program (ESP) is for very young offenders ages 12 and under residing in Polk County who are referred to Juvenile Court Services for criminal transgressions. Because of the very young age of these offenders, it is desirable to not saddle them with an early criminal record and/or placement out of the home, but, rather, to surround them with community-based services that address the issues that led them to Juvenile Court Services and prevent recidivism. Studies show that youth who are very young when first referred to juvenile court for criminal behavior are much more likely to become serious, chronic offenders than those who commit their first crime at age 16 or older.
The Successful Bidder will provide Case Management oversight of the community-based services, make referrals to appropriate services both in-house and to outside agencies, collaborate with school systems to monitor behavior and grades, track and monitor youth whereabouts and activities, create Community Service opportunities for restitution/community service or as Restorative Justice for criminal activities, engage parents/caregivers in services that build safety and stability and are in the best interest of the youth, develop in-house and/or refer to on-going services after the Informal Adjustment Agreement case closure, and work closely with JCS staff on reporting and managing services to the youth.
The Agency is limiting the funding that is available for these services. Cost proposals may not exceed $1,020,000.00 for the entire term of the contract, including any contract extension years. The annual value of the first term of the Contract shall be no greater than $170,000.00.
