Clackamas County, through its Health, Housing & Human Services Department (H3S), is issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO #2024-93) for the construction and operations of a Recovery Center located at 15301 SE 92nd Avenue in Clackamas. The project seeks a qualified vendor to develop and operate a comprehensive treatment and recovery facility that will provide a full continuum of services including assessment, triage, outpatient treatment, medication-assisted treatment, withdrawal management, stabilization, residential treatment, care coordination, peer support, and recovery transitional housing. Successful proposers must demonstrate extensive experience in capital development of similar facilities and operating recovery-oriented services for individuals with substance use disorders. The evaluation criteria will include eight categories: Project Description, Project Budget and Funding, Project Timeline, Program Description, Experience, Safety Measures, Community Engagement, and Additional Project Funding. Key dates include a mandatory virtual pre-proposal meeting on October 22, 2024, at 3 PM PST, with proposals due by 3:00 PM on November 22, 2024. The County anticipates a zone change process estimated to take approximately 6 months and will be responsible for this administrative requirement.

The NOFO does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The Notice of Intent to Award document reveals that Fora Health was the highest-ranked proposer with a score of 90.3 points, indicating a competitive selection process. The county anticipates making between $15 to $45 million in capital funding available, with potential grant terms ranging from 1 to 5 years and possible renewals. The property, currently a 6.63-acre site with a 44,699 square foot school building originally constructed in 1939, 1959, and 2002, is currently zoned High Density Residential and Open Space Management and will be leased to the selected vendor. The property's current tax-exempt status and existing infrastructure suggest potential opportunities for adaptive reuse. While the Addictions Recovery Summit Report emphasizes the need for a comprehensive, community-based approach to addiction services, the NOFO itself does not provide extensive details about incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements.
