Concurrences:
The contract-specific goal set on these contracts was zero.
The Chief Procurement Officer concurs.
Summary: In an effort to gain efficiencies in the administration of its grant making program, the JAC has worked in conjunction with the OCPO and Budget office to align JAC violence prevention, recidivism reduction and restorative justice grant awards with the County Fiscal Year (CFY). This will be effective beginning with CFY18 contracts set to begin on December 1, 2017. An extension and increase for contracts set to expire either June 30 or July 31 of 2017, will allow for a continuation of services delivered to participants in the community based programs supported by these contracts for grant dollars. To prevent service disruption, the JAC requests authorization to extend and increase these six (6) $40,000 Recidivism Reduction contracts.
These contracts were awarded through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Each service provider was awarded based on the established evaluation criteria.
