The County of Yolo is seeking to obtain consultants to provide court-order psychology evaluation services to both adults and children. The County intended to make multiple contract awards, if it is in the best interest of the County to do so. Selected consultants and/or firms (“contractors”) will be issued “as-needed” contracts. When court orders are issued, the County will contact the contractors to engage in specific evaluations. A contract award does not guarantee that any work will be provided during the term of the contract. Upon request of the County, a Contractor shall administer and interpret any psychological evaluations it performs, in accordance with the appropriate Court order and the law. All evaluations will include psychological testing unless the individual being evaluated is not capable of completing appropriate assessment devices. The selection and extent of psychological testing is at the discretion of the evaluator, but should include current versions of cognitive, personality, psychopathology, symptom, and/or specific parenting tests. Other published devices may be substituted provided a specific rationale is offered that confirms its appropriateness for the intended purposes.
