The Mayorâs Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) intends to enter into a sole source contract with the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago (PHIMC) to provide training and technical assistance to community-based programs and/or organizations that are committed to mitigating conflict that leads to gun violence and mobilizing residents to change community norms across the 5 boroughs. PHIMC is equipped to provide a model approach, curriculum on violence interruption and reduction training, management training, and site certification. These services will be used by MOCJ-funded crisis management system program providers to detect and interrupt conflict, identify and treat the highest risk for harm in communities throughout the City. MOCJ has determined that PHIMC is the only source for these services, as they are the proprietary holders of the Cure Violence Global model of violence intervention and risk management resources. The term of this contract will be from March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2022. Any vendor who reasonably believes that they can provide similar training and technical assistance to community based organizations throughout New York City should submit an expression of interest via email prior to the Due Date stated in this advertisement.
