Summary: This contract will allow the Circuit Court of Cook County to serve as the Implementing Agency for this Fiscal Year 2018 Circuit Court Suburban District Drug Court Service Enhancement Program Grant (DCSEP). The Circuit Court proposes to contract with TASC, Inc. (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities) to deliver intensive case management and treatment referral services to DCSEP participants in suburban Municipal Districts Four, Five and Six. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant award specifically approved TASC for the purpose of this grant. 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 Circuit Court’s Problem-Solving Court teams, conducting care management services, and is therefore familiar with Circuit Court 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 the Drug Court Service Enhancement Program (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.
