REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Ada County Juvenile Services Case Management System
OWNER: Ada County Juvenile Services
PROJECT: Ada County Juvenile Services Case Management System
INTRODUCTION
Ada County (“County”) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide Ada County Juvenile Services (“ACJS”) a modern, and configurable Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) Juvenile Case Management System (“CMS”) to support case intake, tracking, reporting, and outcomes management for youth in the juvenile justice system. The system must streamline case workflows, enhance data accuracy, support compliance with state and federal reporting requirements, and improve accessibility for staff and stakeholders.
BACKGROUND
Ada County Juvenile Services is a self-supporting entity with 130 employees across five divisions.
Services include:
• Detention: 460 youth admissions each year; average daily population (“ADP”) around 20 youth. We are staffed for a maximum ADP of 24.
o Our detention facility has two housing units that support direct supervision (18 beds each) and 4 observation rooms. We also have 3 older wings with additional beds (another 30), but they are closed unless special circumstances dictate otherwise.
• Diversion: 450 new clients each year; 120 youth on diversion and another 50 pending each day.
o Diversion is a short-term case management program for youth and their families to voluntarily address an offense outside of the traditional Juvenile Court system. The Prosecuting Attorney may refer youth to this program instead of filing a formal petition.
• Probation: 350 new cases each year; 260 youth on probation and another 190 pending each day.
o A suite of foundational tools including motivational interviewing, the Youth Level of Service / Case Management Inventory (“YLS/CMI”), Effective Practices in Community Supervision (“EPICS”), Graduated Responses, and Solution-focused Goal Setting guides interactions with youth on court-imposed supervision.
• Clinical assessment and counseling: 400 youth housed in detention each year and another 150 youth on probation, diversion or in our resource center.
o Clinicians provide substance abuse, trauma, and mental health assessments, and counseling for youth and families to address substance abuse, family concerns, and mental health issues.
• Education and community programming: Youth may prepare for jobs, obtain their GED, and earn high school credit through an online provider. They also participate in a wide range of in-person and online courses that target safety, self-esteem, substance use, mental health, life skills, and other topics, and work opportunities that support competency development and community reparation.
• Resource center: The Bridge Youth and Family Resource Center is a prevention program to keep youth out of the juvenile justice system by connecting families with supportive services in the community. This program will continue using their separate, standalone CMS but staff will need read access to JCMS to look up youth.

SCOPE OF WORK
I. OVERVIEW
Ada County Juvenile Services (ACJS) seeks to procure and implement a secure, modern, and configurable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Juvenile Case Management System (JCMS) to replace the existing Idaho Juvenile Offender System and related manual processes.
The current system limits efficiency, reporting accuracy, workflow integration, and data usability across divisions.

ACJS is a single agency comprised of multiple operational divisions, including Probation, Diversion, Detention, Clinical Services (serving both residential and outpatient youth), Support Staff, and a Resource Center. The system must support all divisions within a single agency instance, with role-based access controls and permission levels appropriate to each function.
Read-only access will also be required for Resource Center staff and system access for Ada County IT personnel.
The system must maintain strict security, privacy, and compliance requirements while supporting collaboration across divisions and disciplines.
