ATTACHMENT G-Commonwealth's Response to 2nd Set of Vendor Questions-RFP 758 2500000122-Reentry Service Center & Recovery KY Ce.xlsx

This document is the Commonwealth's response to the second set of vendor questions for RFP 758 2500000122, issued by the Kentucky Department of Corrections (KYDOC) for Reentry Service Center and Recovery Services. The RFP addresses the establishment and operation of facilities to house individuals under probation and parole supervision or reduced-custody inmates who do not require secure confinement. Vendors are expected to be prepared to accept clients immediately upon contract approval rather than develop facilities post-award. The Commonwealth clarified that there are no minimum or maximum bed requirements; instead, vendors will specify available bed capacity and KYDOC will allocate placements based on operational needs within specific geographic areas.

The response addresses facility security requirements, clarifying that barbed wire and other secure perimeter features are not necessary given the low-custody status of the target population. This indicates a community-based or transitional housing model rather than a secured correctional facility. The document reflects KYDOC's intent to establish a flexible contracting framework where multiple vendors can participate based on their available capacity and geographic service areas, with the Commonwealth managing bed allocation and client placement decisions according to demand.
