1.4 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Early intervention and follow-up programs/graduated sanctions services are services to be provided to
children adjudicated delinquent and to children who have been referred to juvenile court services for a
delinquency violation or who have exhibited behaviors that put them at risk of a juvenile delinquency
referral. The services are directed to enhance personal adjustment to help the children transition into
productive adulthood and to prevent or reduce criminal charges, out-of-home placement, and
recidivism.
The Iowa Judicial Branch is seeking one Vendor to provide Supportive Enhancements statewide across
all eight (8) Judicial Districts as authorized by Iowa Court Rule 70.404. Supportive Enhancements are to
complement other services or interventions for a child served by JCS or other provider.
Supportive Enhancements allow JCS to intervene immediately with a support or incentive that is
expected to reduce a child’s misbehavior or truancy and will lead to improved outcomes. Alternative
funds or services shall be utilized prior to Supportive Enhancements, when available. Supportive
Enhancements may include, but are not limited to:
1) Education-related services
2) Crisis intervention
3) Transportation
4) Clothing and grooming supplies

5) Social needs
6) Educational needs
7) Cultural needs

means. This is the first solicitation for proposals for statewide implementation of a standardized
