Section A. SCOPE OF WORK

A.1. OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE

The Illinois Department of Human Services' Division of Developmental Disabilities (DHS' DDD) seeks to fund applicants to provide a 24-hour Stabilization Home (SH) designed to meet the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) ages 18+ who are experiencing acute behavioral health conditions.

This Request for Applications is in accordance with the State of Illinois Public Act 103-0493.

The purpose of this programming is to divert placement into a State Operated Developmental Center and/or ensure stability in community placements.

The intent is to award 10 agreements for Stabilization Homes (SH) with no more than 4 people residing in each home. Each agreement is for 1 home. The Stabilization Home program will have short-term programming and long-term programming. Individuals participating in short-term stabilization programming will have an anticipated stay of 90 days. Individuals participating in the

Long-Term Stabilization programming will be anticipated to stay of 1-2 years.

It is expected that the successful Applicants will provide comprehensive clinical supports and collaborate with the individuals' families/guardians and/or other entities providing services to the individuals in developing a plan for successful return to the community.

DHS' DDD is committed to promoting the integration and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities into their local communities. DDD's goal is to ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities receive the services and supports they need to lead fulfilling and productive lives in their local communities.

Section B. CURRENT CONDITIONS

B.1. OVERVIEW & BACKGROUND

There are currently 8 stabilization homes in operation: 4 in central Illinois and 4 in the south suburbs of Chicago. DDD would like stabilization homes across the State with a priority to Applicants with homes in service deserts. Please see desirable number F.3.11

B.2. VOLUMES & QUANTITIES

There are currently 8 SH sites across two providers. We are looking to open 10 additional sites.

Clients are admitted and discharged every 90 days on a rolling basis. In FY24, there were 39 clients admitted.

Successful Applicants will be required to staff homes at a 1:1 ratio if clinical needs require it (based upon risk assessments and professional judgement).

B.3. AREAS OF CONCERN/CHALLENGES

Providing behavioral supports to medically complex individuals is an opportunity for growth within the service system. DHS has experienced difficulty with clients in need of insulin administration being able to receive intensive behavioral supports. This is a high need and high priority for DHS to rectify.

Physically accessible homes are preferred.

An additional need is for homes that can provide supports to deaf clients and clients who are blind; preference is given to providers with supports tailored to this population.

Managing medication administration from the client's originating provider to the SH site can be challenging. The successful Applicant must have strong and consistent RN trainer supports.

B.4. STRENGTHS

Current SH providers do well when there is a lead staff/administrator that provides oversight to all SH programming and is the liaison to DHS. The successful Applicant must have an identified organizational structure that includes an identified liaison to DHS.

A responsible Applicant is one who has the capability in all respects to perform fully the contract requirements and who has the integrity and reliability that will assure good faith performance. DHS determines whether the Applicant is a "responsible" Applicant; an Applicant with whom DHS can or should do business. For example, DHS may consider the following:

E.9.1. A "prohibited bidder" includes any person assisting an employee of the State of Illinois by reviewing, drafting, directing, or preparing any invitation for bids, a request for proposal, or request of information, or providing similar assistance unless such assistance was part of a publicly issued opportunity to review drafts of all or part of these documents. For purposes of this section, an employee of the State of Illinois means one who, by the nature of his or her duties, has the authority to participate personally and substantially in the decision to award a State contract. No person or business shall submit specifications to a State agency unless requested to do so by an employee of the State. No person or business that contracts with a State agency to write specifications for a particular procurement need shall submit a bid or proposal or receive a contract for that procurement need.

Nothing herein is intended to prohibit a provider from bidding, offering, or applying to supply developing technology, supplies or services after providing the State with a demonstration of the developing technology, supplies, or services; provided the subject of the demonstration to the State represents industry trends and innovation and is not specifically designed to meet the State's needs. Nothing herein is intended to prohibit a person or business from submitting a bid, offer, application, or entering into a contract if the person or business: (i) initiates a communication with an employee to provide general information about products, services, or industry best practices and, if applicable, that communication is documented in accordance with Section 50-39 of the Illinois Procurement Code or (ii) responds to a communication initiated by an employee of the State for the purposes of providing information to evaluate new products, trends, services, or technologies.

E.9.2. Other factors that DHS may use to evaluate to determine responsibility include, but are not limited to: political contributions, certifications, conflict of interest, financial disclosures, taxpayer identification number, past performance in business or industry, references (including those found outside the Application), compliance with applicable laws, financial responsibility, insurability, effective equal opportunity compliance, payment of prevailing wages if required by law, capacity to produce or sources of supply, and the ability to provide required maintenance service or other matters relating to the Applicant's ability to deliver in the quality and quantity within the time and price as specified in this solicitation.

E.9.3. Awarded Applicants must always have financial resources sufficient, in the opinion of DHS, to ensure performance of the contract and must provide proof upon request. DHS may terminate the contract, consistent with the termination for cause provision of the contract, if the provider lacks the financial resources to perform under the contract.
