Juvenile Crime Prevention Community Program

Washington County, Oregon is requesting proposals for specialized juvenile crime prevention community services targeting high-risk youth in middle and alternative schools, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on May 12, 2026 via Microsoft Teams.

The scope is year-round liaison and case management services for approximately 300 youth annually across all parts of Washington County, serving youth ages 10–17 identified as high-risk through the Oregon Juvenile Crime Prevention Screen and Assessment or referred by the Juvenile Department for early intervention. Services include case management, cognitive-behavioral skill-building education, restorative justice interventions, and family navigation services, with each youth expected to engage for 3–6 months based on individual needs. Participation is voluntary for youth not yet involved with the Juvenile Department; youth referred for delinquency offenses who decline participation will be referred back to the Juvenile Department. The program must serve male and female youth proportionally and represent all cultural, ethnic, and racial populations in the county.

The estimated total contract value is $2,018,040 over five years (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031), allocated as $411,430 for the first year, $803,305 for years two and three, and $803,305 for years four and five. Funding is contingent on state legislative action and may be renegotiated if available funds substantially increase or decrease. Indirect costs are capped at 10 percent of the proposed budget; proposers must budget their own Consumer Price Index calculations within the total available amount.

Any public or private organization may submit proposals, including single or collaborative multi-provider applications. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), Professional Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), Workers' Compensation, Cyber Liability ($1,000,000), and Physical Abuse and Molestation Insurance ($1,000,000). All staff, employees, and subcontractors must complete background checks within 30 days of contract execution and PREA training prior to work commencement, renewed every two years. Contractors must execute a Business Associate Agreement addressing HIPAA compliance and Protected Health Information safeguards.

Evaluation criteria are proposer capability (20 points), program design and strategy (30 points), services to limited English participants (20 points), collaboration with other agencies (10 points), budget information (10 points), and past successful performance (10 points). Questions are due May 18, 2026; contractor selection is anticipated June 18, 2026.
