Summary & Background: The contractor, Avertest, LLC, is responsible for providing drug testing services to the Fulton County DUI Treatment Court. Aversys is a proprietary web-based application that integrates individual client random selection and notification, same-gender directly observed sample collection, clinical laboratory analysis, results reporting and event notification, and other related activities.
Scope of Work: The drug testing services provide measurement-based systematic monitoring services for program participants and will foster coordination of care and supervision and help clients abstain from substance use and achieve stability within the community. The market demonstrates that the services sought are so unique that only one vendor can satisfy the program’s requirements. It would require procuring these services from other service providers would require the coordination of multiple vendors to achieve a comparable level of client care. For example, there are service providers within Georgia that provide employment-related, non-observed sample-collection services but send samples to independent laboratories. There are labs that conduct testing in Georgia but do not provide directly observed sample collection services. Avertest, on the other hand, offers Fulton County both directly observed collections and our own lab testing, ensuring evidence-based practices and integrated services designed to help clients with SUD develop lasting healthy habits.
Community Impact: The Fulton County State DUI Treatment Court strengthens Fulton’s County commitment and support of Accountability Courts, thereby aligning with the County’s justice and safety plan.
Department Recommendation: The Fulton County State Court recommends approval.
Project Implications: The ability to utilize drug testing services is required to be in compliance with the Accountability Courts Best Practices/Standards and receive grant funds
Community Issues/Concerns: The ability to utilize drug testing services is required to be in compliance with the Accountability Courts Best practices/Standards and receive grant funds.
