About this opportunity
Washington County, Oregon is seeking proposals for the Juvenile Crime Prevention Community Program (RFP No. 2020.071P), aimed at providing specialized services for high-risk youth ages 10-17 in middle and alternative schools across the county. The program targets approximately 500 youth annually, with full-time and part-time staff positions supported by funding. Proposers must deliver year-round liaison services, with individual youth engagements lasting 3-6 months based on specific needs. Evaluation criteria will assess proposer capability across six categories, including program design (30% weight), cultural competency, agency collaboration, budget effectiveness, and past performance, using a 0-5 point scoring system. The proposal is due electronically by August 6, 2020, at 3:00 pm, with contractor selection anticipated on September 15, 2020. Required qualifications include the ability to provide culturally responsive, language-appropriate, and gender-specific services focusing on positive youth development and restorative justice. Key objectives include addressing risk factors such as antisocial behavior, poor family functioning, school failure, substance abuse, and negative peer associations.
The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Youth participation is voluntary for those not yet involved with the Juvenile Department, with proportional representation expected across gender, cultural, ethnic, and racial populations. The total estimated funding for the contract period is $1,860,669, with approximately $384,966 allocated for each full 12-month period and $320,805 for the initial partial year from October 2020 to June 2021. The contract period runs from October 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025, with potential annual renewal options. Proposers must certify they are not debarred, suspended, or ineligible from submitting proposals, and have not been convicted of specific criminal offenses within the past three years. The program is part of the Oregon State Legislature's Juvenile Crime Prevention Plan, which has supported similar initiatives since 1999. Successful contractors will be expected to identify high-risk youth through the Oregon Juvenile Crime Prevention Screen and Assessment and provide early intervention services to prevent entry into the juvenile justice system.
Opportunity text
General work description: Provide specialized services targeting high-risk youth in middle and alternative schools for school districts across Washington County. It is expected that full time and part time staff positions will be supported with these funds and that services will be available to approximately 500 youth annually in all parts of Washington County. Liaison services are expected to be year round (to include summer and vacation periods). Projected length of time with each youth will be 3-6 months, based upon their individual needs and accountability factors. Participation by youth and their families that are not yet involved with the Juvenile Department will be on a voluntary basis. For youth who have been referred to the Juvenile Department for a delinquency offense, their participation is also voluntary, but if they do not participate they will be referred back to the Juvenile Department for a response. Eligible youth will have been identified at high risk of entering the juvenile justice system through the Oregon Juvenile Crime Prevention Screen and Assessment or will have been identified by the Juvenile Department as appropriate for early intervention services. It is expected that the program will serve male and female identified youth proportionally and youth from all cultural, ethnic and race populations in Washington County.
