Dane County Diversion and Treatment Court Programs

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking a single provider to deliver comprehensive Diversion and Drug Court program services through its Department of Human Services. The procurement targets assessment, coordination, and case management services for the Dane County Diversion Program (DCDP) and Dane County Drug Treatment Program (DCTP), with the primary goal of enhancing public safety by reducing recidivism among individuals with substance use disorders. The selected vendor must provide Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) within three months of contract award and will be responsible for screening and assessing a minimum of 200 individuals annually. Key performance objectives include achieving a 55% program completion rate and ensuring that 55% of successfully discharged participants remain free of criminal charges within 24 months. The contract will be effective for one year with potential renewal for four additional one-year periods. The proposal is due on June 25, 2024, at 11:59 pm, with a mandatory vendor conference scheduled for May 15, 2024, at 10:00 am via Zoom. Evaluation criteria will likely include cost proposal, with administrative costs capped at 15% of the total budget, and the vendor's ability to meet program-specific demographic and performance targets.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract aims to engage a provider capable of serving a diverse population, with a target of 40% non-white participant representation. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the program involves multiple partner agencies including ARC Community Services, ATTIC Correctional Services, City of Madison Police Department, Dane County Circuit Court, Journey Mental Health Center, and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Funding will be sourced from multiple streams, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) Grant. The cost proposal workbook indicates a targeted service level of 3,420 total service hours, with service units defined as one hour of direct service to participants. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the program and the required service hours suggest a substantial contract value. The selected vendor will be expected to demonstrate organizational capacity to bill for discrete service units and provide comprehensive treatment and case management services.
