RES-28-Bed-SAOS-Nonsecure-Boys

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is seeking proposals for a 28-bed nonsecure residential program for male youth between the ages of 14 and 18 in its South Region. The program must provide innovative delinquency programming and treatment services, including custody, mental health, substance abuse, and other services detailed in the RFP attachments. The program can be located in a DJJ-owned building in Miami, Florida or a respondent-owned/leased building elsewhere in the state. Respondents must provide detailed information on staffing, behavior management, education, transition planning, facility requirements, and performance measures. Key dates include a mandatory site visit on 2/14/24, a proposal due date of 4/4/24, and an anticipated contract start date of 11/15/24. DJJ will allow flexibility in the number of beds based on their treatment service needs.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent is not identified, and the RFP does not provide specific pricing terms, budget ranges, or funding sources. However, the RFP does state that DJJ will review proposals for reasonable, allowable, and necessary costs, and award a fixed price per diem contract. The RFP also includes tie-breaking criteria for proposals that receive equal scores, such as having a drug-free workplace program or being a certified minority business enterprise.
