Questions

1. Looking for more information on the contract and what specifically is being asked for.

Response:

This contract is to provide community-based outpatient substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment services to male and female Adults in Custody in community placement residing in a Residential Reentry Center, on home confinement, or on Federal Location Monitoring or, if applicable, reporting to a Day Reporting Center, in Albany, New York.

Services are to be delivered in-person at performance site(s) meeting the solicitation restrictions and may also be provided by telehealth, according to SOW requirements. Telehealth is defined as audio-visual, two-way interactive communication. Audio-only services are allowed in limited circumstances and requires pre-approval. The method of service delivery is contingent on the requirements of the contract, contractor capabilities, accessibility and technical availability of the AIC, and the type of service being rendered, e.g., intake and clinical assessments must be provided in-person, unless preauthorized on a case-by-case basis. The use of telehealth for the delivery of services must not be simply for the sake of convenience for the contractor or the AIC but based on sound clinical judgment, resulting in a treatment delivery of both in-person and telehealth services, as defined above, with very limited or no audio-only services taking place.

Services requested are: Substance Use Disorder Treatment Planning and Follow-up, Substance Use Intake Screening, Substance Use Disorder Individual Counseling, Substance Use Disorder Intake Assessment and Report, Co-occurring Intake Assessment and Report, Substance Use Disorder Group Counseling, Substance Use Disorder Relationship and Parenting Counseling, Mental Health Treatment Planning and Follow-up, Mental Health Intake Screening, Mental Health Intake Assessment and Report, Psychiatric Evaluation and Report, Crisis Intervention Evaluation and Report, Mental Health Individual Counseling, Mental Health Relationship and Parenting Counseling, Mental Health Administration of Medication, Mental Health Medication Monitoring and Report, Sex Offender Intake Assessment and Report, Sex Offender Treatment Disorder Treatment Planning and Follow-up, Sex Offender Intake Screening, Sex Offender Individual Counseling, and Sex Offender Group Counseling.

Services are needed within a 5 mile radius of City Hall: 24 Eagle St Albany, NY 12207, and less than 1 mile to access to public transportation. This requirement will ensure the contractor is located within walking distance of public transportation, AICs are not subjected to walking long distances in inclement weather, and accountability of AICs is maintained at the performance site(s).

All treatment services are to be provided by clinicians who currently hold a professional license to practice independently, without supervision, in the state of New York.
