The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice is soliciting proposals for a forty-two bed high-risk residential program for males aged thirteen to eighteen. The program must provide Mental Health Overlay Services and Substance Abuse Treatment Overlay Services, with the potential for the Department to add other specialized services such as Intensive Mental Health Treatment, Co-Occurring Disorders, and Juvenile Sexual Offender services. The facility will be located either at a Department-owned site in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, or at a respondent-owned or leased facility within the state of Florida. The selected provider must integrate the FDJJ 10030 Electronic Health Record system and adhere to specific health, nursing, academic, and career and technical education standards. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous proposal, considering price, past performance, and financial criteria. Evaluation includes specific scoring adjustments based on performance metrics, such as rates of physical interventions and excessive force. Mandatory submission requirements include a business information report, a foreign country of concern attestation, and a minimum requirements certification for those proposing their own facilities. The contract requires strict adherence to staffing qualifications, including a designated Activity Coordinator, and mandates that youth receive First Aid/CPR certification within two months of entry. Proposals must be submitted in three volumes via the DJJ Bid Library by the specified deadline, following strict formatting and page limit guidelines.
