#1 57 5904 WYCAPS case management replacement system ($25,992,500):

Design, development, and implementation of an IT system to replace

WYCAPS, the agency’s protective services and juvenile justice case

management system. This request includes:

● $19,992,500 for development and design;

● $6,000,000 for 3 years of maintenance and operations;

Install new Microsoft Office 2019 Standard and Professional Plus licenses

within the Citrix environment. DFS’ current Microsoft licenses have been

received by DFS due to non-compliance with federal standards, and the

possible loss of ability to track, report on, and request federal funding for

protective services and child support cases.

Efficiency

initiative

#3 39 5901 Cost allocation solution for federal funds ($220,000):

Purchase a web-based cost allocation service and technical support. This

request is a recommendation from the State Budget Department’s Efficiency

Initiative which reviewed DFS’ cost allocation plan (Sivic Solutions Group)

and the 2016 A&I Budget Office study. Both concluded the following

benefits of DFS adopting a financial cost allocation system, including:

● Timely federal draws and reports;

● Elimination of cost allocation in Excel;

● Increased accuracy and efficiency;

● More timely and accurate financial reporting.

Purchase web-based service and technical support to efficiently and

accurately record employee time spent on tasks associated with federal

grants, allocate costs, and seek timely and accurate reimbursement. This

exception request comes from the State Budget Department’s Efficiency

Initiative to review DFS’ cost allocation plan and implement resulting

recommendations. The RMTS solution allows staff to spend less time on

manual task tracking and more time with clients, and helps mitigate risk

and provides more stable and secure federal funding by:

● Combating user fatigue;

● Reducing confusion;

● Ensuring compliance;

● Improving Quality Assurance (QA) reviews.

COVID-19

response

#6 53 5903 Crisis shelter beds and services ($1,000,000):

This is a one-time exception request for $1,000,000 effective immediately.

DFS spent the majority of its general fund biennial allotment in the first

year of the biennium due to a decrease in service provision during COVID.

The local programs are funded at approx 50% FF and 50% SGF. Projections

indicate DFS will run out of SGF prior to the end of the biennium. If not

funded, DFS will have to cut monthly payments to some crisis shelters by

60% or more.

Governor recommends funding this with ARPA Revenue

Assistance through the ARPA Revenue Assistance Strike Team,

and recommends denial of the $1,000,000 general fund request.

Wyoming Department of Family Services: Comprehensive Child

Welfare Information System Project Summary_____________________________________________________________________________________

JAC Presentation

December 2021

The Wyoming Children’s Assistance and Protection System (WYCAPS) is the Wyoming Department of Family

Services’ (DFS) electronic child and adult protection and juvenile justice casework and data collection system.

WYCAPS is a continuously aging system that is not following industry best practices in regards to security,

infrastructure, or development. The outdated functionality of the system requires intensive manual interaction

from caseworkers, developers and other users. WYCAPS’ non-compliance with federal requirements

jeopardizes DFS’ Title IV-E federal funding stream.

In state fiscal year (SFY) 2018, DFS began evaluating options to upgrade or replace WYCAPS in order to meet

federal Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) requirements and improve the collection

and quality of data, provide more timely reports, improve usability, and reduce long-term costs.

vendor selected through a

competitive RFP

Completed a needs assessment, cost benefit analysis,

feasibility study, and CCWIS cost estimate for 3 different

technical infrastructure approaches. Configuration of a

analyses were drafted to

support DFS’

recommendations.

support related activities including a pre-procurement vendor

conference, development and execution of the RFP Evaluation

and Scoring Plan, and support for final contract award.

Vendor and DFS staff

continued to support

procurement related

activities.

federal funds. $19,992,500 for development and design,

$6,000,000 for 3 years of maintenance and operations.

Request to be made to the

JAC on December 7, 2021.

Governor Gordon

recommends approval.


Next Steps

DFS has begun contract negotiations and development of a Statement of Work for CCWIS design, development

and implementation, and will update all federally required project documents necessary to secure the 50%

Federal Financial Participation (FFP). DFS anticipates having a “funds pending” contract in place by March 31,

2022 in order for the CCWIS project to launch when and if funding is approved. The estimated CCWIS project

timeline includes 18-21 months of system design, 3-6 months for implementation and roll-out, and 3 years of

Management and Operations (M&O) during which the Agency’s ETS Direct Bill team will be trained to assume

ongoing maintenance of the CCWIS after expiration of the vendor contract.
