Trauma Informed Services in Polk County Detention
Request for Proposals
Polk
Description
The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals that will enable Juvenile Court Services in Polk County to select the most qualified Contractor to provide short-term Trauma-Informed programming to youth in Polk County Detention which could result in shorter stays in Detention placement with release back into the community or other suitable placement, that address youth trauma faster and that are appropriate to the trauma experiences of the youth.
Some of the known traumatic experiences of youth in Detention can involve experiences from having been “on the run” for a length of time, including Human Trafficking. Often youth in Detention have witnessed violent crime or have themselves been victims of violence. They may even be the perpetrator of the violence. Although the ACEs questionnaire is not administered to youth in Detention, it is generally assumed that they have experienced a high number of ACEs. Youth in Detention and other Juvenile Justice settings also reportedly experience higher rates of bereavement and violent deaths in particular than do youth in the general population and, consequently, where maladaptive coping mechanisms have been adopted.
The Agency is limiting the funding that is available for these services. Cost proposals may not exceed $1,200,000.00 (dollars) for the entire term of the contract, including any contract extension years. The Annual value of the first term of the Contract shall be no greater than $200,000.00.
