Juvenile Short-Term Residential Placement (â? ?STRPâ? ?)

Clackamas County, Oregon is seeking qualified organizations to provide Juvenile Short-Term Residential Placement (STRP) and Emergency Shelter Care (ESC) services through Request for Proposals (RFP #2025-10). The procurement seeks providers capable of delivering STRP services for up to 90 days per youth, supporting up to three youth per day, and/or ESC services for up to 14 days per youth, supporting up to two youth per day. Key service objectives include youth behavioral stabilization, comprehensive assessment, transition preparation, and targeted support for specific populations such as LGBTQQI youth and those with special needs. The contract term is anticipated to run from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, with proposals due on March 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time through the BidLocker online submission system. Evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess providers across multiple dimensions, including Service Delivery (0-30 points), Qualifications (0-25 points), Cultural and Gender Responsivity (0-25 points), Preference Points (0-15 points), and References (0-5 points).

Providers must be licensed by Oregon DHS Children's Care Licensing Program and, for STRP services, must be enrolled as a Medicaid Contractor for BRS type 06 through Oregon Health Authority. A geographic preference will be applied, with 5-15 preference points awarded to providers offering services within 70 miles of Clackamas County or within the county itself. For STRP services, fees must align with current BRS rates established by the State of Oregon, regardless of youth eligibility for BRS funding. ESC service providers are required to submit a detailed program budget encompassing staffing costs, miscellaneous expenses, and administrative/indirect costs, along with a proposed per-day per-youth fee structure. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the procurement documents, the comprehensive service requirements and multi-year contract duration suggest a potentially significant financial opportunity for qualified providers committed to supporting youth residential and emergency shelter services.
