3. Inmate day rate when the in-house ADP is 24-31 Federal offenders

4. Inmate day rate when the in-house ADP is 32 or more Federal offenders

5. Monthly rate when the home confinement ADP is 10 or less Federal offenders

6. Inmate day rate when the home confinement ADP is 11-15 Federal offenders

7. Inmate day rate when the home confinement ADP is 16-20 Federal offenders

8. Inmate day rate when the home confinement ADP is 21 or more Federal offenders

During the months when the ADP does not exceed 16 in-house Federal offenders or 10 home confinement placements, Contractor shall invoice at the defined monthly rate.

Home Confinement servcies estimated maximum is 24 placements.

Offerors are advised that all usage amounts are estimates only.

These estimates do not constitute a Bureau of Prisons usage guarantee or a guarantee of revenue to the offeror.

Is the approach tailored to the geographic area? Have there been any patterns or unresolved breaches of accountability during this rating period? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: PROGRAMS

Does the contractor have a process for assessing the individual needs of each offender to assist with their reentry into the community?

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

15BRRC22R00000007/0001 Page 7 of 34 make-up 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?

FACTOR: PERSONNEL

How effective has the contractor been in ensuring competent staff have been recruited, trained, and retained? Have staff met the annual training requirements? Are new staff receiving orientation in accordance with SOW requirements? Have new staff received and signed for integrity guidelines? Are there any concerns involving staff integrity? Have you discussed the strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of any corrective actions?

FACTOR: COMMUNICATION/RESPONSIVENESS

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 CONFINEMENT

How effective has the contractor been in ensuring that all residents are appropriately referred and placed on home confinement as soon as eligible and appropriate?

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 CPARS 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 of Prisons (BOP) 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/BOP 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.

15BRRC22R00000007/0001 Page 8 of 34

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.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

Clauses By Full Text

H.1 Change in Key Personnel

Following contract award, any change in key personnel during contract performance is subject to the review and approval of the Residential Reentry Manager. The Contractor shall submit evidence that the qualifications of the prospective replacement personnel are equal to or greater than personnel vacating the positions. Such requests for review and approval shall be in writing.

H.2 Contract Performance

(a) Any request to alter the facility following contract award must provide evidence supporting the contractor's right to use the pro-posed facility. Acceptable evidence of right to use is limited to deeds, leases, bills of sale, options to lease, options to buy, contingency leases or contingency deeds.

(b) Offerors shall submit proof that the local law enforcement agency with primary justification (e.g., Chief of Police, Sheriff) and at least two levels of local government officials (e.g., City Council Member, Mayor, County Board Member, City Commissioner) have been notified of their intent to change facility location. The notification will identify the specific location of the new facility.

The proof shall be a signed copy of each notification* sent via registered or certified mail to the Chief Executive Officer of the law en-forcement agency and two levels of public officials of the geographical area in which the new facility is located. The notification shall provide an accurate description of the program services the contractor provides under their contract to include, but not limited to, the contractor's mission statement; the size of the new facility; the specific address location of the new facility; the type of offender the Statement of Work indicates will be placed at the new facility; and the contractor's inmate accountability practices.

*[The offerors shall use the mandatory Sample Community Notification Letter in Section J, Attachment 4, when notifying the above-mentioned officials.]

(c) Subsequent to award the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) advising of any request to change facility locations. The Bureau of Prisons will inspect the contractor's place of performance to ensure compliance with the Safety and Sanitation requirements of the Statement of Work. The contractor will be advised of identified areas of non-compliance and will be required to correct the non-compliant areas in accordance with the Statement of Work and reasonable guidance provided by the COR.

If the place of performance is not in compliance by the established performance date, the contract may be terminated for default.

(d) The contractor, when requesting a change in performance location, is required to provide proof of zoning. This proof shall be provided with the initial request to change locations.

(e) The initial request to change performance sites will be made to the COR. The request shall be in writing and accompanied by the following documentation: (1) proof of right to use; (2) proof of zoning; (3) proof of law enforcement/ geopolitical notification; and (4) evidence that the Bureau of Prisons will receive some benefit for modifying the contract to change the place of performance.

The Contracting Officer, with the assistance of Legal Counsel and the COR, shall determine whether substantial evidence of proper zoning and other ordinance or regulatory compliance has been provided by the Contractor. 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

15BRRC22R00000007/0001 Page 9 of 34

Protected Religious Activities. Religious exercise can come up in Residential Reentry Centers (RRC's) in a variety of ways and is gov-erned 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.

(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) A 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.
