The Chief Procurement Officer concurs
Summary: A contract extension and increase are requested to authorize TASC to continue the provision of services while a new RFP is conducted. The Office of the Chief Procurement Officer issued an RFP in August 2013. The Circuit Court has requested to reissue the RFP because the court and the community would be better served by contracting with more than one community-based vendor. Program participants are offenders who are diverted from incarceration. Services cover client care management.
The Circuit Court's Specialty/Treatment Court Program operates a network of 19 courts in Chicago and across suburban Cook County which are dedicated to providing mental health treatment, veterans support, drug treatment and support to persons charged with felony prostitution. The program helps low level criminal defendants who suffer from an underlying mental health, social or substance abuse problem from becoming repeat offenders. The hallmark of the program is intensive judicial supervision and the delivery of treatment and services from community-based sources, such as TASC which has provided patient care management services to the Circuit Court's Specialty/Treatment Courts Program since 2010.
