This is a reposting of a previous RFP originally posted on Jan. 24, 2023. The repost includes updated key information including clarification of the target population and extension of the award expenditure timeline.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), through its Behavioral Health Division ("State"), is seeking proposals from qualified responders to create and implement Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) within a locked facility. The responder must be willing and able to serve clients who have been transferred from a jail and/or who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial and court ordered to receive treatment in a locked treatment facility. The IRTS modification grant is established under Minnesota Chapter 99, article 3, section 7.
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to provide modification funds to create and implement intensive residential treatment services within locked facilities. The locked setting will be able to serve clients who have been transferred from a jail and/or who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial and court ordered to receive treatment in a locked treatment facility. The addition of locked IRTS facilities will create additional options for clients who need IRTS treatment within a setting where staff are able to supervise access to the community. The increase in discharges from secure settings to locked IRTS facilities will aid in decompressing secure facilities serving clients who are not appropriate for the secure level of supervision.
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 p.m. CST on Apr. 14, 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.
