Attachment E - Operating Per Diem.pdf

Attachment E is a placeholder document from the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) for the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN-24-052) regarding the Operation and Management of Contractor-Operated Correctional Facilities. The document indicates that the Operating Per Diem attachment will be released upon certification from the Auditor General's Office. The attachment is specifically related to the Gadsden Correctional Facility procurement, which seeks a private contractor to manage a 1,544-bed medium security female correctional facility in Gadsden County, Florida.

While the specific per diem details are not present in this document, the associated procurement indicates an estimated annual contract value of $49,683,450, with vendors required to demonstrate at least 10 years of correctional facility management experience. The contract will have an initial three-year term with options for successive two-year renewals, and vendors must meet a seven percent cost savings requirement. Funding is contingent on annual legislative appropriations, and bidders must provide a reply bond of 5% of the total proposal price, with a potential performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit of $8 million required upon contract execution.
