Description: BACKGROUND INFORMATION The mission of the New York State Unified Court System (UCS) is to deliver equal justice under the law and to achieve the just, fair and timely resolution of all matters that come before our courts. In the service of our mission, the UCS is committed to operating with integrity and transparency, and to ensuring that all who enter or serve in our courts are treated with respect, dignity, and professionalism. We affirm our responsibility to promote a court system free from any and all forms of bias and discrimination and to promote a judiciary and workforce that reflect the rich diversity of New York State. More information about the UCS is available at https://www.nycourts.gov . The UCS Office of Court Administration’s (OCA) Division of Professional and Court Services (DPCS) is soliciting proposals via this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purpose of establishing a contract to provide a Treatment Facilitator to the Auburn City and Cayuga County Treatment Courts (ACCC). UCS operates problem-solving courts, among them drug courts, which help judges and court staff respond to the needs of litigants and the community. Problem-solving courts look to the underlying issues that bring people into the court system, employ innovative approaches to address those issues, and seek to simplify the court process for litigants. A drug court involves an intervention by the court in cooperation with a team of specialists in social services, treatment, and criminal justice professionals in the local community. In return for a promise of a reduced sentence, appropriate non-violent addicted offenders are given the option of entering voluntarily into court-supervised treatment. The rules and conditions of participation are clearly stated in a contract entered into by the defendant, the defense attorney, the district attorney, and the court. PROJECT INFORMATION UCS is the recipient of an award by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) for the purposes of funding the ACCC treatment courts in Cayuga County, New York, by providing treatment services to 200 court-involved participants. The maximum available funding over the Contract Term (September 30, 2022 – September 29, 2027) for the performance of Project Services (as set forth below) is $303,112. AWARD UCS intends to award one contract for a term beginning on or around November 15, 2022 and terminating on September 29, 2027 (“Contract Term”). In the event of an extension of the grant term by SAMHSA, UCS reserves the option to extend the Contract Term at no additional cost for a maximum of twelve (12) additional months upon the same terms and conditions as of the expiration date of the Contract Term. Any such extension is subject to the approval of the Office of the State Comptroller and the Office of the Attorney General.
