6.7.4_Liquidated_Damages.docx

This is a Liquidated Damages schedule document that outlines financial penalties applicable to a contractor delivering Evidence-Based Programming services, likely within a correctional or offender rehabilitation context under state oversight. The document specifies liquidated damages across six operational categories: Program Delivery, Reporting & Documentation, Training & Staff Qualifications, Staffing & Personnel, Technology Requirements, and Security & Data Protection. Program delivery penalties range from $200 to $700 per incident for failures including improper curriculum utilization, missed classes, delayed enrollment, and cohort opening delays. Reporting and documentation violations incur penalties of $200 to $500 per occurrence, with additional daily charges up to $50 per day for submissions exceeding 30 days late. Training and staffing qualifications violations carry penalties from $200 to $500 per occurrence, including facilitator certification failures and Quality Assurance plan submission delays.

Staffing and personnel violations assess $500 per occurrence for missing background check documentation or incomplete required training prior to facilitation. Technology and security requirements impose the highest financial penalties, ranging from $200 to $1,000 per incident or occurrence, with specific requirements for security incident notification within 24 hours, data encryption compliance with FIPS standards, timely SOC 2 Type 2 report submission, and completion of annual penetration testing. These liquidated damages appear designed to ensure contractor compliance with state standards for offender programming quality, operational transparency, staff qualifications, and cybersecurity protections without requiring the state to prove actual damages.
