Probation Residential Services

The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 250000001853 for Community Residential Services, a procurement seeking probation residential service providers. The RFP was initially posted on SIGMA VSS on April 4, 2025, with a revised due date of May 2, 2025, soliciting providers to support probation residential programming. The procurement seeks comprehensive residential services for probation-involved individuals, with three bidders submitting proposals: Completion House dba Turning Point Recovery Centers, Elmhurst Home, Inc., and Huron House Incorporated. All three bidders were technically evaluated and scored 100/100, meeting minimum RFP requirements for delivering community residential services. The contract term is structured for five years with potential for up to five additional one-year renewal options, indicating a long-term strategic approach to residential probation services. Evaluation criteria focused on technical capabilities, with proposals assessed on their ability to provide intake assessments, residential programming, and support services for probation populations.

The procurement does not include specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB) were part of the awarded vendors. The total recommended award amount is $5,210,000.00, with a split allocation across the three vendors: Completion House receiving $2,854,100.00, Elmhurst Home receiving $418,100.00, and Huron House receiving $1,937,800.00. Pricing was not negotiated, as per diem and intake assessment rates are capped by State Legislature regulations. Award amounts are based on MDOC estimates of average daily populations, with actual funding subject to program utilization and availability of state funds. The economic impact was not a significant factor in bid evaluation, suggesting the primary focus was on service quality and technical capability. The procurement represents a strategic approach to providing residential services for probation-involved individuals, with a robust evaluation process ensuring qualified providers are selected to deliver critical community-based support.
