Alternatives to Incarceration Programs

Rockland County's District Attorney's Office is seeking qualified firms to provide comprehensive Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) case management services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP-RC-2025-029). The procurement covers five specific program areas: Mental Health Alternative to Incarceration (MHATI), Veterans Alternative to Incarceration (VATI), Drug Courts and Drug Treatment Alternative to Prison (DTAP), Re-Entry program coordination, and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Alternative to Incarceration (IDDATI). Proposers must demonstrate expertise in case management with specific staffing requirements including case managers, a senior case manager, a per diem psychologist, and a re-entry coordinator. The evaluation will be based on a point system considering the proposer's service understanding, technical capabilities, staff qualifications, educational compliance, performance references, and cost. A virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 16, 2025, at 10:00 am via Microsoft Teams, with all questions from potential bidders due by September 24, 2025. The final proposal submission deadline is October 2, 2025, with the contract initially set for one year and potential for four additional one-year renewals.

The RFP encourages participation from diverse business enterprises, with specific provisions for engaging small, minority, and women-owned businesses. Proposers must complete a comprehensive Statement of Disclosures that includes non-collusion affidavits, political contribution disclosures, supplier responsibility statements, and affirmative action certifications. The county reserves the right to award the contract to multiple providers or a single provider covering all program sections. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, vendors must provide detailed cost proposals for each program section, inclusive of administrative costs, travel, reporting, and invoicing. Insurance requirements are stringent, with vendors needing to maintain various coverage types including commercial general liability, workers' compensation, professional liability, and potentially cyber liability insurance. The procurement is structured as a non-federal entity contract under federal awards, requiring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations across multiple operational domains.
