Adult Criminal Justice Case Management and Treatment Services

Marathon County Government is seeking proposals for Adult Criminal Justice Case Management and Treatment Services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will cover three primary program areas: Pretrial Assessment and Services, Pre- and Post-Charge Diversion, and Treatment Courts and Services. The procurement seeks qualified service providers to deliver evidence-based programming for adult criminal justice populations, with an anticipated annual capacity to serve between 800-1,500 justice-involved individuals. Proposers may apply for one, two, or all three program areas, with specific service requirements including intensive supervision, drug and alcohol testing, home visits, and collaborative team coordination. Key deliverables include comprehensive case management, treatment interventions, and risk assessments utilizing validated instruments like the Public Safety Assessment. The RFP includes a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for May 19, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. at the Marathon County Courthouse, with all questions due in writing by May 24, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. CST. Proposal submissions are due by 3:00 p.m. on June 2, 2023, requiring four paper copies and one digital copy. The evaluation criteria will assess past experience and performance (20%), specialized experience and technical competence (15%), programmatic proposal quality (35%), and cost/overall value (30%).

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The proposed contract is structured as a fixed-fee agreement with a potential five-year term, including an initial one-year contract and four optional one-year renewals. The total anticipated annual budget is up to $1,326,125.62 for adult services, with a minimum of $25,000 expected from client fees. Marathon County will provide case management and records software, along with a risk and needs assessment tool to the selected service provider. The current framework includes eleven integrated programs serving medium to high-risk offenders, with current annual service budgets totaling approximately $1,294,168.36, funded through county government appropriations and state allocations. The County reserves the right to award the contract by individual program area or as a single contract covering all umbrella programs, and all submitted documents will become subject to Wisconsin's Open Records Law upon contract award. Successful vendors must comply with Marathon County's standard terms and conditions, including insurance requirements, confidentiality provisions, and adherence to federal, state, and local regulations.
