The North Dakota Court System is soliciting information on the costs of implementing a case management system for problem-solving courts. Any information submitted will be used by the Court to develop an appropriation request which will be presented to the North Dakota legislature when it convenes in January 2025. If funding is obtained, the Court will issue a formal Request for Proposal in May 2025 for a project that we estimate will begin October 2025. Vendors are asked to be as realistic as possible in their estimates, keeping in mind that the project start date will be in the fall of 2025. The state operates on a 2-year budget cycle. If the court is unable to proceed with the project due to unrealistically low estimates, we will not be able to ask for another appropriation until January 2027, which would push the project start date back to the fall of 2027.
