Specifications include, but are not limited to: The County of Yolo is requesting proposals from qualified researchers to provide Program Evaluation Services for the Yolo County Office of the District Attorney, per scope of work, as outlined in this RFP. The awarded contractor may have the opportunity to work directly with the Yolo County District Attorney’s Neighborhood Court program. Neighborhood Court (NHC) is an adult criminal diversion program. NHC uses the principles of restorative justice to resolve offenses outside of the traditional courtroom. Participants meet in a relaxed setting to discuss their conduct with members of the local community panelists in what is called a conference. The conference is designed to hold participants accountable by helping them recognize the harms caused by their conduct. Then the panelists, participant, and victim (when present), can come up with a collaborative solution designed to address those harms in a way that is restorative rather than punitive.
