County officials seeking vendors for Adolescent Treatment and Healing
Center foundation
HANAMN ULU — County officials are seeking vendors to provide services for the
Adolescent Treatment and Healing Center. The center is scheduled to be completed in April.
"This is an incredible opportunity for vendors to apply their expertise to our island's
children, who will be able to heal and be treated right here in our community," said Mayor Derek
S. K. Kawakami.
Proposals shall be received no later than 3 p.m., March 27, 2019, electronically via the
Public Purchase System. Applicants interested in accessing and responding to Request for
Proposal (RFP) P-0211, assigned by the Division of Purchasing, must be registered as a Public
Vendor, Hawaii Region, and Kauai County Agency. New vendors should click on the link to
Public Purchase on www.kauai.gov or www.publicpurchase.com to initiate the registration
process.
Additionally, deadline for written inquiries is Feb. 27, response for written inquires is
March 13, proposal due date is March 27, best and final offer is April 3, and the tentative award
date for vendors is April 24.
Located on a 5.8-acre parcel donated by Grove Farm, the center will consist of an
integrated treatment and healing center with the capacity to provide a comprehensive,
collaborative, community -based, clinically -sound, and family -centered infrastructure for delivery
of mental health and substance -abuse related supportive services to adolescents and their
families.
The center will include an eight -bedroom residential structure that may be expanded;
with additional open space for recreational and agricultural healing activities; and a building
dedicated for community and/or professional treatment support services with an attached
classroom/training module.
The County of Kauai plans to contract the operations of the center to an experienced
service provider via a Request for Proposal. Additionally, the Hawaii State Department of
Education will provide a part-time teacher.
The state and the County of Kauai funded the project's construction and site
improvements.
