RFP J28029 JUVENILE IN-COMMUNITY SERVICES, SECOND CIRCUIT

In-Community services are requested to provide therapeutic, supportive, and educational programs for minors and young adults.

Services should include but not be limited to providing individuals with the tools and skills needed to prevent recidivism, to assess alternatives and make appropriate choices to help them learn socially acceptable behaviors to function in the community as law-abiding citizens. The referrals for minors may include status offenses or law violations.

The in-community services for minors and young adults provide alternatives to the traditional juvenile and criminal justice systems to assist the offender to make reparations to the victim and the community.

Services should be reflective of the court’s balanced and restorative justice philosophy which holds the offender accountable for his/her actions. All applicants should provide the clients with insight and understanding of their situation and resulting behaviors.

**Submission method:** All proposals and proposal forms shall be submitted electronically through the State of Hawaii Electronic Procurement System (HIePRO) at https://hiepro.ehawaii.gov/welcome.html.

Applicants interested in responding to this solicitation must be registered on HlePRO. [...] Awards made for this solicitation, if any, shall be done through the HlePRO and shall, therefore, be subject to a mandatory .75% (.0075) transaction fee, not to exceed $5,000 for the total contract term.

Responses to this RFP, including proposed prices and/or fees will be considered firm for 90 days from the proposal due date.

The contract may be extended for an additional two (2) year period, subject to the appropriation and availability of funds and satisfactory performance of services by providers.

As a prerequisite to entering into contracts of $25,000 or more, providers are required to have a tax clearance from the Hawaii State Department of Taxation (DOTAX) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
