CONTRACT RENEWALS
ITEM #51
APPROVED
Transmitting a Communication from
TIMOTHY C. EVANS, Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County
requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to renew
Contract No. 00-41-1161 with Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago,
Illinois, to provide for the continuation of service to the court’s Juvenile
Court Clinic pilot program by the Clinical Evaluation and Services Initiative
(CESI).
|
Reason: |
CESI is a collaboration of the Children and Family Justice
Center of Northwestern University School of Law Legal Clinic and the John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Northwestern University School of Law is the fiscal and administrative
agent for CESI. The creation of a Juvenile Court Clinic came about as a
result of a study commissioned by the court in 1995 and released in
1999. This study evaluated the system
that provides clinical information to judges in juvenile court for abuse and
neglect and delinquency cases. The
resulting report recommended that the clinic be comprised of four separate
but interdependent units, the Education and Intervention Resource Unit, the
Program Evaluation Unit, the Clinical Coordination Unit and the
Administrative Unit. In February 2000, the court issued a Request for Proposal
(RFP) for two of the Juvenile Court Clinic units, the Clinical Coordination
Unit and the Administrative Unit. The
court supported the report’s recommendation that CESI would design and
implement the Juvenile Court Clinic’s two remaining units, the Education and
Intervention Resource Unit and the Program Evaluation Unit. While the RFP process was underway, a contract was
initiated in June 2000 with Northwestern University School of Law to develop
and implement all four units of the Juvenile Court Clinic on a limited basis
as a pilot project pending the completion of a RFP. The Juvenile Court Clinic pilot is
currently operating in nine (9) of the twenty-eight (28) Juvenile Justice and
Child Protection Division courtrooms. A total of fifty-five (55) vendors were invited to submit
proposals, of which two (2) vendors responded with proposals. After a review
of the proposals, the court has determined that the cost of the Juvenile
Court Clinic exceeds the amount originally projected in fiscal year
2000. Therefore, this request is for
the continuation of the pilot program with Northwestern utilizing funds
appropriated for the program while the court reassesses the configuration of
the proposed clinic. |

$810,000.00. Contract

municipalities: Barrington, Bartlett,
Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove Village, Elmwood Park, Glenview, Hanover Park, Hoffman
Estates, Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge, Prospect Heights, Rolling Meadows and
Wilmette. The project complies with the
HOME Program regulations and furthers the goals of the Five-Year Consolidated
Community Development Plan (approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development on October 17, 2000).
The HOME Program loan of $500,000.00 will be made between
Northwest Housing Partnership (NWHP) and the County of Cook. NWHP has previously been a successful
participant with HOME Program and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. Approval of this loan will enable

for the amount of the rehabilitation by Northwest Housing Partnership. After rehabilitation is completed, NWHP then
assigns the Note, Owner’s Participation Agreement, and Junior Mortgage to Cook
County. The Cook County HOME Program
will recapture funds expended on the projects when these homes are sold,
transferred, or otherwise alienated and title is transferred.
I respectfully request approval of this project, and that
the Chief Administrative Officer of the County of Cook, or his designee, be
authorized to execute on behalf of the County of Cook, any and all documents
necessary to further the project approved herein, including, but not limited to
