15BRRC23R00000023 Page 5 of 75
Contractor shall provide Residential Reentry Center (RRC) services (for In-House RRC beds) and Home Confinement Services (for Home Confinement placements) for male and female Federal offenders held under the authority of various United States Statutes located in Eau Claire County Wisconsin.
The services will be provided on an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity type contract with firm-fixed unit prices according to the guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated maximum quantities outlined above. It is the intent of the Government to award Line Items forRRC in-house beds and home confinement placements to a single provider as these services are interconnected and rely upon each other to ensure adequate programming and case management of offenders.
The period of performance for any contract which the Government may award under the terms and conditions of the RFP will be for a one-year base period and four one-year option years. The guaranteed minimum will be calculated based on number of mandays used at the end of the base period or each option year. Offerors must submit pricing for the base period and each option period. Services are required to be provided in accordance with Section C, Statement of Work, with documentation as required. For the purposes of billing, home confinement and furloughs are considered one manday. Also, furloughs shall be billed at the home confinement rate.
The Government reserves the right to award without discussions and to make an award which is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. "RRC services" (for in-house RRC beds) are as defined by the statement of work for this requirement. "Home Confinement Services (for home confinement placements) are as defined in Chapter 10, programming, and in all other applicable references in the statement of work for home confinement services.
The minimum requirement for all services will be satisfied by the Government with both male and female offenders. For Home Confinement services, male and female quantities are combined for a total minimum guarantee and a total maximum estimate which can be comprised of either males or females. For in-house RRC services, the contractor shall ensure 11 (max) beds are available for males and 3 (max) beds are available for females.
Offerors are advised that all usage amounts above the guaranteed minimum during the base period are estimates only. These estimates above the guaranteed minimum are not a representation by the Government to the offeror that the estimated quantities will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting the requirement will be stable. These estimates above the guaranteed minimum do not constitute a Bureau of Prisons usage guarantee or a guarantee of revenue to the offeror. Payment shall be made for actual consumption/usage.
Pursuant to FAR 17.203(b) and (d), the Government's evaluation shall be inclusive of options and offerors may offer varying prices for options.
Services are required to be provided in accordance with Part I, Section C, the Statement of Work, with documentation as required.
For the purpose of price evaluation and according to the above instructions, offerors must submit their proposed prices under the Schedule of Supplies/Services.

Has the contractor initiated the Transitional Skills Journaling program? How well does the contractor administer the program? How effective has the process been this rating period in assisting offenders to find employment and housing, and to develop skills to prepare the offender for reentry and prevent them from returning to a criminal lifestyle? How effective and extensive is the community resources network? What are the methods or avenues taken to obtain medical or mental health treatment? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?
FACTOR: COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Does the contractor have a process for educating and interacting with the local community in order to acquire and maintain public support?
What efforts have been made during this rating period to foster positive community relations? Discuss the workings and makeup of the contractor's community relations efforts. During this rating period have there been any concerns relating to the contractor's position in the community? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?
FACTOR: SITE VALIDITY AND SUITABILITY
During this rating period, has the contractor complied with all applicable local, state, and national health, safety, environmental laws, regulations, Executive Orders, and building codes? Has the contractor maintained appropriate liability insurance? Are there any new areas of public concern within a ½ mile radius of the facility? Are zoning and occupancy permits still valid? Is the contractor's sanitation plan and maintenance plan effective? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

Responsiveness: Is the contractor responsive to Bureau requirements, directions, and requests for information? How well does the contractor deal with significant incidents? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?
FACTOR: HOME DETENTION
How effective has the contractor been in ensuring that all residents are appropriately referred and placed on home detention as soon as eligible and appropriate?

15BRRC23R00000023 Page 15 of 75
The Government shall consider both positive and negative attributes in the areas above and provide a written narrative for each that describes the contractor's strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions, during each of the contract's reporting periods (generally, a one-year term beginning with the start of the Base Period). Strengths equate to performance that exceeds contract requirements and show definite and measurable benefit to the Government. Weaknesses equate to performance problems that do not meet contract requirements and result in negative impact on the Government. The CPAR will include all information from facility monitoring reports and any corrective actions taken by the contractor and the effectiveness of those corrective actions taken. All applicable information up to and including the close of each monitoring conducted during the specified rating period will be included in the narrative. Based on the narrative, an adjectival rating will be assigned to each factor. Once all factors have been rated, the overall rating will be an objective rating that most accurately reflects the overall performance of the facility. In CPARS, the overall rating will be denoted as "Quality of Product or Service." The Government will provide a detailed explanation outlining the justification for the overall rating.
In accordance with FAR Part 42, the contractor will be given an opportunity to submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information in response to an evaluation in CPARS. The ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation is the decision of the Government. The ratings and associated descriptions for the factors above are as follows:
Exceptional: Contractor's performance exceeds requirements of the contract in many areas. Benefits to the Government/Bureau are identifiable. Minor problems may exist. Corrective actions are highly effective.
Very Good: Contractor's performance meets requirements of the contract and exceeds requirements in some areas. Benefits to the Government/Bureau are identifiable. Problems may exist, but are minor. Corrective actions are effective.
Satisfactory: Contractor's performance meets contract requirements. Some minor problems exist, but the contractor has satisfactory corrective actions in place.
Marginal: Contractor's performance does not meet some of the requirements of the contract. Contractor's performance has shown there are problems resulting in a negative impact on service delivery (a negative impact on the Government). Problems are serious, but recovery is still possible. Corrective actions have shown to be marginally effective and/or not fully implemented.
Unsatisfactory: Contractor's performance fails to meet most of the requirements of the contract. Contractor's performance shows there are problems resulting in a negative impact on service delivery (a negative impact on the Government). Problems are serious, and recovery is unlikely. Corrective actions are ineffective and/or not fully implemented.

The contractor's failure to provide satisfactory proof may result in termination of the contract for default.
For purposes of this provision, a "necessary local official" means an employed or elected person whose opinion, approval, or concur-rence as to the propriety of the use of proposed sites is required under any and all applicable laws of the city, town, village, or muni-cipality in which the RRC is to be located.
H.3 Protected Religious Activities
Protected Religious Activities. Religious exercise can come up in Residential Reentry Centers (RRC's) in a variety of ways and is governed by the Department's regulation guaranteeing "Equal Treatment For Faith-Based Organizations" [28 CFR 38.1(b)], as well as by federal constitutional and statutory law.
(1) An offender may ask for a time and place to individually pray, study, or worship. Federal law requires that a federally-funded Contractor allow offenders in an RRC reasonably frequent opportunity to engage on their own in these "inherently religious activities" throughout the week.
15BRRC23R00000023 Page 17 of 75
(2) An offender may ask an RRC staff to lead or join him or her in inherently religious activity. If an offender in an RRC makes such a request, Contractor staff may accommodate the request when such activity would not interfere with the contracted services, when the religious activity occurs in a separate time or location from the services provided under the contract and if attendance or participation by offenders and staff is voluntary. A separate location does not need to be a separate building but must be an area that, at the time of religious activity, is not being used to provide services under the contract and is not otherwise open to the offender population.
(3) An RRC Contractor may offer inherently religious services to offenders outside of, and in addition to, its contract with the Government as long as the services are offered in a separate time or location (as defined above in paragraph 2) from the services provided under the contract and if attendance or participation by offenders is voluntary. For example, the BOP permits-but would not reimburse a contractor to provide offenders with a chaplain to assist offenders who request spiritual counsel, prayer, instruction from a sacred text, or the opportunity to worship. Unless specifically requested in the solicitation, such services should not be included as part of a proposal and will not be considered in the evaluation process.
