I. INTRODUCTION

A. BERNALILLO COUNTY METROPOLITAN COURT

The Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court (“Court”) was created pursuant to NMSA 1978, § 34-8A-1 et seq., and

is a court of limited jurisdiction located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

B. PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is to solicit proposals, in accordance with the New Mexico

Procurement Code, NMSA 1978, § 13-1-28 et seq. The Court is requesting proposals, including statements of

qualifications and performance data, from national, local, state, private, and/or public organizations (“Offerors”)

that by reason of their skill, knowledge, and experience are able to furnish services in accordance with the Scope of

Work set forth in this RFP.

C. SUMMARY OF SCOPE OF WORK

The Court desires to procure professional services relating to the provision of substance use, counseling, and

treatment services for “Participants” (defined below) in the Court’s Domestic Violence Solutions Treatment

Education Program (“DVSTEP”) (defined below) formerly known as the Domestic Violence Repeat Offenders

Program (“DVROP”). The primary goal of the Program is to reduce the recidivism rate of domestic violence and

promote community safety by providing intensive supervision of offenders charged with domestic violence

offense(s), frequent interaction with the presiding Program judge, and through the counseling services to be

provided by the Contractor selected in response to this RFP. A collaborative effort by the Multi-Disciplinary Team

(defined below) will ensure Participants in the Program are meeting all Program goals. The Scope of Work is fully

detailed in Section IV of this RFP.

The Metropolitan Court is requesting proposals that comply with New Mexico law. The term of the initial

contract(s) shall begin on July 1, 2026, as soon as an award pursuant to the RFP is made and a Contract is finalized.

D. SCOPE OF PROCUREMENT

four (4) years, subject to available funding, i.e. for Fiscal Year 2027 (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027), Fiscal Year

2028 (July 1, 2027 to June 30, 2028), Fiscal Year 2029 (July 1, 2028 to June 30, 2029), and for Fiscal Year

2030 (July 1, 2029 to June 30, 2030). Subject to available funding, the Court in its discretion may enter into an

agreement for more than one (1) year and/or may renew the term of the Contract. Therefore, the Court requests

that Offerors provide a cost schedule for a total of four (4) years.

Any Contract awarded as a result of this RFP process may be terminated if sufficient appropriations or

authorizations do not exist or as otherwise allowed under the terms of the Contract. Such termination will be

effected completed by sending written notice to the Contractor (defined below). The Court’s decision as to whether

sufficient appropriations and authorizations are available will be accepted by the Contractor as final.
