Summary: This increase and renewal option will allow the Office of the Chief Judge to continue to receive Suburban Municipal Districts Drug Court Services. The Circuit Court proposes to renew the current contract with TASC, Inc. (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities) to deliver intensive case management and treatment referral services to the Circuit Court Suburban District Drug Court Service Enhancement Program Grant (DCSEP). The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant award specifically approved TASC for this purpose. TASC has unique qualifications and an understanding of the enhancement program goals and objectives.
Over the years, TASC has served as a member of many of the Court’s Problem-Solving Court teams, conducting care management services, and is therefore familiar with program requirements and service goals, including documentation review, court process review, and systems integration issues. Due to TASC’s longstanding role in Illinois’ Problem-Solving Court programs, particularly its clinical expertise as well as its collaboration with a statewide network of community-based service partners, the organization is well versed in responding to defined needs of clients, family members, and court partners, as well as adapting to very specific needs based on presenting health, safety, or administrative issues. Specific to DCSEP, TASC has been involved through all phases of planning, launch and implementation and thus can ensure service delivery and processes are upheld to the highest standards.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
