Summary: This request would increase Contract No. 1388-12603 by $134,000.00. The majority of the increase, $119,000.00, relates to services provided to the Circuit Court’s Drug Treatment Court Program, while the remainder, $15,000.00, is from grant funds of Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) Program to pay for services provided under ARI.
The Women’s Treatment Center provides specialized services to nonviolent adult criminal offenders eligible for participation in the Circuit Court of Cook County’s Drug Treatment Court Program, an alternative sentencing approach for non-violent offenders serving a probation sentence who have been rearrested for felony drug possession. Participants are supervised by the Circuit Court’s Adult Probation Department. Services provided under this contract include counseling services, in both residential and outpatient settings, billed at hourly and daily rates as applicable.
On 6/10/2015, the Cook County Board of Commissioners approved a third-year grant to operate the Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) Program, a court call in Municipal District One, Circuit Court of Cook County. This grant funds community-based services provided to non-violent offenders who have been diverted from the Illinois Department of Corrections under ARI. Adult Redeploy Illinois Program funds are used partly for services provided by Women’s Treatment Center and other providers.
The contract was awarded through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. The Women’s Treatment Center was awarded based on established evaluation criteria.
