The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), Office of Probation and Community Intervention is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the procurement of screening services at the Sarasota Juvenile Assessment Center and the Okaloosa Regional Juvenile Detention Center. The RFP seeks qualified respondents to provide 24/7 detention screening services, including conducting assessments, inputting data, transporting youth, and preparing court packets at the two juvenile assessment centers located in Circuits 12 and 1, which cover Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. The contract term is for one year with renewal options, and the RFP outlines detailed service requirements, staffing levels, qualifications, and strict performance measures such as ensuring 100% of youth receive a Detention Risk Assessment Instrument and 85% of youth are processed and released within 6 hours. Pricing will be on a per-facility day basis, with a 10% rate reduction if more than 25% of positions are vacant on a given day. The RFP does not provide details on set-asides, incumbent vendors, or award values, but it does state that the Respondent must be able to maintain sufficient staffing to cover all shifts without assistance from the Department. The contract will be funded by the Department of Juvenile Justice, and respondents must identify any matching funds contributed.
