Summary: This proposed amendment exercises the second year renewal option available in the Cook County contract with Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists (AAIM) to coordinate Victim Impact Panel sessions for traffic offenders, who participate by orders of the court. AAIM conducts 55 panel sessions per year in court facilities in the First Municipal District in Chicago, the Second Municipal District in Skokie, the Third Municipal District in Rolling Meadows, and the Sixth Municipal District in Markham.
Victim Impact Panels are an important element of the Circuit Court’s referral program that seeks to reduce instances of driving under the influence (DUI). The panels consist of victims and past offenders who were involved in alcohol or drug related accidents who relate their experiences before groups of DUI offenders. AAIM, along with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), has been providing such services on behalf of the court since 1991.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
