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 the DJJ's South Region. The program must provide innovative delinquency programming and treatment services, including Mental Health Overlay Services (MHOS) and Substance Abuse Treatment Overlay Services (SAOS), with the flexibility to add other services as needed. The program can be located in a DJJ-owned building in Miami, Florida or a Respondent-owned/leased building in the state of Florida. Proposals are due on July 2, 2024, and a single contract will be awarded based on funding availability and the Department's service needs. The RFP outlines detailed requirements for staffing, training, mental health and substance abuse services, behavior management, delinquency programming, educational services, community involvement, and transition planning.

The RFP includes certifications for businesses with drug-free workplace programs, certified minority business enterprises, service-disabled veteran's business enterprises, Florida businesses, and foreign manufacturers with Florida factories. The order of precedence for these certifications will be used to break ties. The incumbent provider is not identified, and pricing terms, funding requirements, and budget ranges are not specified. The contract term and any renewal options are also not provided in the available materials.
