Community Residential Programs (Re-Entry Facilities)
The North Dakota Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, Division of Adult Services, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for Community Corrections Residential Programs (Re-Entry Facilities) specifically targeting Ward County, with a focus on Minot and Williston areas. The procurement seeks qualified organizations to operate residential facilities capable of supporting up to 25 adult male and female offenders transitioning back into the community. Required services include comprehensive supportive housing, assessment, transitional, and correctional services with specific deliverables such as case management, room and board, gender-responsive programming, and evidence-based treatment approaches. Key evaluation criteria will encompass treatment services, organizational capabilities, staffing models, GPS monitoring systems, and comprehensive service delivery methodologies. Critical procurement dates include a deadline for questions by August 15, 2025 at 12:00 PM CT, with full responses due by August 25, 2025 at 12:00 PM CT, and an anticipated facility opening no later than March 2026. Respondents must provide detailed daily per-offender cost structures with itemized budget breakdowns, understanding that this RFI is for planning purposes and does not guarantee a contract award.
The RFI does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, though respondents will need to demonstrate substantial expertise in corrections, rehabilitation, and community reintegration services. The procurement appears open to various organizational types with proven capabilities in offender support programming. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the document emphasizes the need for organizations with established track records in providing comprehensive correctional services. Respondents must be prepared to integrate GPS monitoring systems and develop robust case management protocols. Although specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the RFI requires detailed cost proposals indicating daily per-offender expenses, suggesting potential annual contract values likely in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on full service implementation and occupancy levels. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with North Dakota State Procurement laws and guidelines, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sustainable, effective re-entry support system for offenders in Ward County.
