Oakland County Circuit Courts Drug & Alcohol Testing Request for Proposal (RFP)

Oakland County Procurement Division is seeking proposals for a comprehensive drug and alcohol testing program for the Sixth Circuit Court's Adult Treatment Courts, Juvenile Treatment Courts, and Juvenile Probation Programs. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits a contractor to conduct approximately 2,000 or more observed drug and alcohol tests annually, with collection sites throughout Oakland County. Required services include providing specimen collection containers, testing supplies, standard breathalyzer testing, and detailed reporting. Bidders must be accredited drug testing organizations with CLIA or SAMHSA certified laboratory facilities, possess valid staff certifications, and utilize Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) for test confirmations. The evaluation process will use a 100-point scoring system, with points distributed across Proposal (45 points), Bidder Profile (15 points), References (10 points), and Price Proposal (30 points). The proposal submission deadline is April 18, 2025, at 4:30 PM EST, with an initial one-year contract term and potential for four additional one-year extensions.

Current service providers for this contract include Averhealth (for juvenile and adult services) and RESULTS (for adult services). The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Testing requirements are comprehensive, covering multiple drug panels from 6 to 9 substances, including alcohol, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and specialized compounds like ETG, fentanyl, and synthetic drugs. The contract will require same-day reporting of test results, with immediate notifications for positive screens or participant no-shows to court representatives or probation officers. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed pricing sheet and requirement for approximately 2,000 annual tests suggest a substantial annual contract value. The testing program emphasizes a randomized testing frequency and requires extensive monthly invoicing and reporting.
