Remediation Programming Request for Proposals (RFP) FY 2024-25
Proposal Number: 2024-12-CP-REM
The Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention - Community Programs section ensures that every community in North Carolina has access to a continuum of services for its juvenile population. The continuum of services includes those services titled Remediation under Session Law 2023-114 and Session Law 2024-17.
Remediation programming is a service designed to address needs of juveniles who are “…subject to disposition for an offense in juvenile court, including a violation of probation, when, by reason of mental disorder, intellectual disability, neurological disorder, traumatic or acquired brain injury, or developmental immaturity, the juvenile is unable to understand the nature and object of the proceedings against the juvenile, to comprehend the juvenile's own situation in reference to the proceedings, or to assist in the juvenile's own defense in a rational or reasonable manner” (N.C.G.S. 7B-2401 (a)). Juveniles referred to Remediation program(s) will have been 1) forensically evaluated by a Department of Health and Human Services authorized evaluator (N.C.G.S. 7B-2401.2 (b)) and found to lack capacity, and 2) court-ordered by a juvenile court judge to have a capacity deficiency but be likely to reach capacity with receipt of remediation programming (N.C.G.S. 7B-2401.4 (b)).
The awarded vendor will be equipped with a university developed online curriculum for staff to deliver in-person in a one-on-one manner (1 staff to 1 juvenile). The ten-module curriculum includes content modules with videos, interactivity, vignettes, and knowledge checks. The program provider shall affirm the completion of the curriculum internally through review and determination by the program’s own staff. A program termination report shall be submitted to the juvenile court for consideration of a subsequent court-ordered forensic evaluation for final determination of capacity to proceed.
The awarded vendor will work closely in partnership with and be supported by the Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s Community Programs and Court Services sections.
