The Department of Administration, Mental Health Initiative, of Douglas County Government, hereinafter referred to as the County, respectfully requests information and qualifications from responsible, qualified individuals/companies for the provision of enhanced care coordination services for the Care Compact (TCC) program, as specified.
The County is expanding the existing adult Care Compact program (TCC), a model of enhanced care coordination for Douglas County residents with complex behavioral health needs. The expansion includes building capacity for intensive care coordination that individualizes treatment connections, supports eligibility and application processes, and attends to a person’s safety and well-being through wraparound support. To this end, the County is interested in funding dedicated staff within a network of community-based care with a history of or capacity for case management and/or care coordination. TCC currently serves adults with mental health needs, substance use disorders and related needs, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and/or delays, and unmet basic needs. TCC is also developing a pilot program to serve youth and families by early April 2024.
The services and scope of work for this expansion should include case management/care coordination as a primary function of service with TCC partners and clients, and will also include one or more of the following areas or specialties:
- Mental and behavioral health clinical care coordination
- Disability services
- Benefits navigation and application support
- Transitions of care between different levels of care and between agencies
- Community-based case management
- Housing navigation, self-sufficiency, and connection to basic needs
- Crisis response, follow-up care, and coordination of emergency interventions
- Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services, assessment, and coordination of care
- Children, Youth, and Family-specific services
Funding for this expansion is made possible by an allocation of Douglas County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars. The initial agreement, issued as a result of this RFQ, will be for a period of approximately thirty-two (32) months, beginning in May 2024 and concluding no later than December 31, 2026. All proposed fees shall be firm and fixed for the entire contract period. Funding must be obligated in a contract by December 31, 2024 for successful respondents to access funding in subsequent years.
