2.0 AGENCY BACKGROUND

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) is an independent, executive branch Federal Agency, established under Section 11232 of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. The Agency is responsible for the functions relating to pretrial services, probation, parole, and offender supervision in the District of Columbia. The mission of the CSOSA is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community.

3.0 PROGRAM BACKGROUND

The Day Reporting Center (DRC) is an initiative within General Supervision Branch IIA of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA). The purpose of the DRC is to provide structure and accountability to offenders who are unemployed, underemployed and/or undereducated. The program provides life skills training, conflict resolution, computer training, parenting classes, and financial management / entrepreneurship training.

The Day Reporting Center consists of non-voluntary participants. The age range varies considerably. Currently, there are no criteria limiting referrals according to age. The participants are mixed sex but primarily male participants.

4.0 SCOPE OF WORK

(a) The purpose of this request is to procure contractor services to support the development of an anger management curriculum for offenders in the Day Reporting Center (DRC). The DRC is a cognitive restructuring program designed to change adverse thinking patterns among unemployed offenders who are in need of a highly structured environment. This non-voluntary population is mandated to report to a CSOSA field unit for daily programming until he or she becomes employed or involved in a productive activity such as a vocational program.

(b) The Contractor shall provide all personnel necessary to provide these services in accordance with the terms, conditions and specifications contained in this request.

(c) The Contractor shall provide services to develop capacity among CSOSA-offenders to cope with anger and stress. These stress management techniques should enable offenders to reduce tendencies toward violent behavior by developing successful stress management skills to maintain mental health and to regulate anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. Considering the propensity of CSOSA offenders to address conflict in an inappropriate manner, the facilitator should incorporate conflict resolution techniques into the curriculum. The Contractor shall deliver services from a manual based curriculum that is heavily influenced by evidence based practice.

(d) The development of these skills among offenders participating in the Day Reporting Center requires one to have-

1. Documented experience in working with ex-offender populations;

2. Capacity to train offenders in various mental techniques to achieve and sustain calmness as well as physical, mental, and emotional health; and

3. Professional licensure in a clinical discipline such as Psychology or Social Work.

5.0 DELIVERABLES

Specifically, the Contractor shall deliver the following:

(a) Ongoing weekly therapeutic group sessions with duration of 1 to 1.5 hours per session for a maximum of 15-20 offenders.

(b) A synopsis of the 12-session model consisting of detailed content information, desired goals and objectives as well as identified resources utilized in formulating the curriculum.

(c) Contractor shall meet with the COTR on a quarterly basis to conduct a program review. The program review will take approximately 1.5 hours per quarter.

6.0 FIRM-FIXED PRICE CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS

The contract schedule contains firm-fixed price line items. Only items identified in the Schedule are payable under this contract. The firm-fixed prices are considered payment in full for all labor, profit, overhead, G&A, fringe benefits, reports, logs, postage, advertisements, printing, photographs, tools, machinery, equipment, supplies, materials, and all other costs associated with performance of the services as specified.

9.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

(a) All Contractor personnel utilized under this contract shall submit to a Government background investigation prior to performing work on-site at any CSOSA facility.

(b) BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS: The Contractor shall ensure that a Contractor employee does not begin work under the Contract until the appropriate background checks are conducted and approved by the CSOSA Office of Security. When a preliminary background check on an individual has been determined to be favorable, the Office of Security will issue an interim employment security approval to the Office of Procurement, who in turn will notify the Contractor. Only at that time may the Contractor notify an individual to begin work at a CSOSA facility.

(c) Derogatory information, falsification of any forms or refuses to supply information and/or forms may be considered justification to reject the individual.

(d) When an individual is selected for contractor support position within CSOSA, the Contractor shall have Contractor personnel complete a background investigation package consisting of the items identified in the table below. The Contractor personnel are generally provided 10 days to complete and return the forms to the Office of Procurement. The following forms will be provided and must be completed:

(e) It is the responsibility of the Contractor, in order to ensure complete coverage for the services specified herein, to maintain an adequate staff of individuals meeting all of the requirements of this Contract. To that end, the Contractor should submit the names of additional individuals, so that the requisite preliminary background checks can be conducted. CSOSA has the right to request any additional information necessary in order to adjudicate the completed background investigation. If a Contractor employee fails to provide any of the above information, or to cooperate with CSOSA Office of Security, the individual will be removed immediately.

(f) Contractor’s Responsibility:

(1) The Contractor shall ensure that no Contractor employee commences performance prior to completion of the background investigation, unless the Office of Security grants approval.

(2) Any individual who has been temporarily removed or resigned may be required to undergo another background investigation before resuming any position. At the discretion of the COTR, the Contractor shall forward the required forms for a reinvestigation to the COTR. Prior to forwarding the forms, the Contractor is responsible for reviewing the forms for completeness. The forms should be forwarded with a cover letter indicating that the forms are for reinvestigation of a current Contractor employee.

(g) Government’s Responsibility:

(1) The Government will conduct a background investigation on all individuals involved in the contract. Derogatory information developed from this investigation may be considered justification to reject the applicant. The Government also reserves the right to reinvestigate all Contractor personnel working on this Contract for any reason.

(2) Upon completion of the background investigation, the Office of Security will review the results to determine suitability for the individual. Primary concern in the review process is to decide if the individual's presence in Agency facilities poses a potential risk to CSOSA, the Government, or the general public.
