Request for Proposals: IRTS Modification Grants offered to qualified grantees


The Minnesota Department of Human Services, through its Behavioral Health Division (State), is seeking proposals from qualified responders to create and implement intensive residential treatment service programs to provide treatment in locked facilities for clients who have been transferred from a jail or who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial, and a judge has determined that the client needs to be in a secure facility.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to expand IRTS services to include different levels of service intensity within a locked facility for community-based competency restoration. The expansion of locked IRTS facilities is anticipated to increase accessibility to IRTS treatment for clients who are residing in jails, the Forensic Mental Health Program and/or Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center (AMRTC).

This RFP will focus on creating locked IRTS facilities that can provide treatment to clients transferred from a jail or who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial, and a judge has determined that the client needs to be in a secure facility.

For more information contact Erin Ruiz, DHS/Behavioral Health Division, at dhs.adultmhact_irts@state.mn.us. Erin is the only person designated to answer questions by potential responders regarding this request.

The proposal must be submitted and received electronically by 4:00 p.m. CST on Feb. 24, 2023 to be considered. Late proposals will not be considered and will not be opened.  Faxed proposals will not be accepted.

The RFP can be viewed by visiting the Minnesota Department of Human Services Grants, Requests for Proposals (RFP) and Requests for Information (RFI) webpage.

This request does not obligate the State to complete the work contemplated in this notice. The State reserves the right to cancel this solicitation. All expenses incurred in responding to this notice are solely the responsibility of the responder. To obtain this information in a different format, please email Emily.Waymire@state.mn.us.
