Transition and Diversion Program services

The contract pertains to the provision of Transition and Diversion Program services in North Dakota, focusing on facilitating the movement of individuals with disabilities from institutional or unsafe living environments to community-based settings within the Northeast quadrant of the state, serviced by the Northeast and Lake Region Behavioral Health Clinics. The program emphasizes comprehensive case management, including functional assessments, transition planning, and risk evaluations, all documented within the Therap case management system. Funding supports two full-time transition coordinators responsible for delivering services, ensuring continuity during staff turnover, and managing the entire transition process. Reimbursement for services is based on waiver rates, including rural differentials, with a cap of $1,500 per individual for one-time moving costs, which can be supplemented upon case-by-case approval. Follow-up services are limited to 90 days post-transition, extendable to 180 days for nursing home transitions, with payments structured around 15-minute service units. The contractual framework is governed primarily by state policies and the Department of Justice Settlement Agreement, which mandates assessments, safety plans, and documentation standards. No explicit federal or state contract clauses, clauses referencing FAR provisions, or specific evaluation and award criteria are incorporated or referenced. Payment processes rely on state forms, such as SFN 542 and SFN 1763, and require documentation within the Therap system; no federal electronic invoicing systems are specified. The contract does not specify delivery or acceptance locations, FOB terms, or detailed inspection criteria, instead emphasizing adherence to state policies and the Department of Justice agreement. Staffing requirements include dedicated positions with responsibilities for service delivery, documentation, and compliance, with no explicit security or conflict-of-interest clauses. Proposal submission instructions are minimal, with no detailed format, page limits, or submission procedures provided, aside from a deadline of September 5, 2025, and a contact point for further information. Overall, the contract emphasizes programmatic compliance, documentation standards, and service continuity within a state-regulated framework, with limited references to federal clauses or formal evaluation criteria.
