SECURE TREATMENT FACILITY
This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks to address the need for a facility, and possibly the operation of the program within the facility, that will provide a necessary resource for the small number of juvenile justice girls who require a short-term secure treatment setting in order to be successfully transitioned back to their homes and communities. There are three specific options for responding appropriately to this RFP. Option One is for the proposer to submit a proposal for the construction of the facility on a site presently owned by, or to be acquired by, the proposer who will then enter into a lease with the State of Connecticut so that DCF may operate the program for juvenile justice girls. Option Two is for the proposer to submit a proposal for the construction of the facility on a site presently owned by, or to be acquired by, the proposer, who will also propose to operate the program for juvenile justice girls in accordance with the requirements of Department and under a contract with the State of Connecticut. The construction of the facility under either Option One or Option Two may be a design-build project for a new building or a design-renovation of an existing building. Under Option Three, which applies only to municipalities, a municipality may propose to convey real property to the State of Connecticut, AT NO COST TO THE STATE OR FOR MINIMAL CONSIDERATION, upon which the State will construct and operate the Secure Treatment Facility for Juvenile Justice Girls.
