RFP #101 - Racine County Alternatives Program (RCAP)

Racine County Human Services Department is seeking proposals for the Racine County Alternatives Program (RCAP) through RFP #101, a comprehensive pre-trial and court-related monitoring services contract. The program requires a vendor to provide pre-trial risk assessments for adult criminal courts, including daily assessments at the Racine County jail, court-ordered monitoring services such as GPS tracking, SCRAM bracelets, remote breath monitoring, and drug/alcohol testing. The provider must be capable of conducting 40 assessments per day, with reports submitted to the court commissioner by 1:30 pm daily, and maintain 24/7 monitoring capabilities. Evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: 35% agency experience and competency, 25% specific proposal criteria, and 40% overall cost to the County. Key deadlines include written questions due by August 22, 2019, at 4:00 pm, and sealed proposals due September 12, 2019, at 4:00 pm, with proposal evaluations to be completed by October 8, 2019, and contract award by October 11, 2019.

The contract will be for an initial one-year period commencing January 1, 2020, with potential for two additional one-year renewals based on performance and funding availability. Proposers must submit one original and four copies of the proposal, plus a digital copy on USB drive, with mandatory appendices including a proposal cover sheet, vendor acceptance form, reference list, agency narrative, and budget worksheet. Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, $1,000,000 in auto liability, $4,000,000 in umbrella liability, and statutory workers' compensation. Background checks are required for all employees, and pricing must remain firm for 90 days from proposal opening. Historical program data indicates annual volumes of 2,663 intakes, 5,040 oral drug tests, 3,879 breathalyzers, and 143 GPS monitoring cases, suggesting a substantial service requirement with potential for significant annual contract value.
