SAMPLE COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION LETTER

TYPE OF CONTRACT: RRC

[Date]

[Address]

Dear:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that [name of offeror] has submitted an offer for

RRC services, or "halfway house," services for federal offenders releasing to the [geographic area specified in the RFP] area. This action is being taken in response to a request for proposals (RFP) issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The BOP encourages full and open competition in the procurement of these services; consequently, other offerors may also be responding to this RFP.

As part of the RRC contracting process, the BOP requires that all offerors notify and seek input from the local law enforcement authority and two levels of locally elected government officials. This letter will serve as documentation of partial satisfaction of this requirement.

[Give the exact address and complete description of the proposed place of performance. What is its current use? Is it zoned appropriately for use as a RRC? Does it have all necessary permits and licenses? If not, when will they be obtained? Will renovations be necessary? If so, when will they be completed?]

The total term of the proposed contract is ______ years. The estimated requirement specifies ______ beds for males and ______ beds for females at the beginning of the contract term, increasing incrementally to ______ beds for males and ______ beds for females at the end of the contract term. These numbers reflect the BOP's best estimates of bed space need at this time. However, the proposed site will be able to accommodate up to ______ offenders, and the BOP may exceed its original estimates if there is an unanticipated need for additional bed space in this area. Performance is to begin on [date], with contract award approximately

120 days prior to that date.

The BOP has a long history of transferring inmates who are within a few months of release to a contractor-operated RRC for transitional programming. These inmates have often been removed from the community for an extended period of time. Sound correctional practice suggests that RRC enhance public safety by offering offenders the opportunity to find employment, establish a residence, and re-enter the community through a structured, supportive environment.

The BOP takes its responsibility for contract oversight very seriously. Contract language establishes requirements for inmate accountability, programming, life safety, staffing, inmate discipline, urine and alcohol surveillance, and a variety of other areas. These requirements are closely monitored by BOP staff, who provide training and conduct both scheduled and unannounced on-site inspections.

Federal offenders at the RRC will come from two sources: inmates who are transferred from a prison to the RRC for pre-release programming, and offenders under the supervision of the

U.S. Probation Office for whom residence at the RRC is a condition of supervision. Nationwide, the average RRC placement is three to four months in length, although longer placements are sometimes made.

[Give a thorough description of your company or program. How long have you been in business? What other types of facilities do you operate, and where are they? If you have a brochure describing your programs or facilities, attach it to this letter.]

The BOP is currently evaluating all proposals that were submitted for this RFP. The BOP and [the offeror] invite you to express your support for or concerns about this proposed RRC facility. Comments may be directed to [name of contracting officer, per the RFP], Contracting Officer, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320 First Street, NW , W ashington, DC 20534.

The phone number is (202) 307-3070. Please forward a copy of any correspondence to [the offeror's address and phone number].

Sincerely, [offeror's name, title, and company]

TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT EVALUATION AREA

FACTOR: Site Location SUBFACTOR: Site Validity and Suitability

The Site Validity and Suitability subfactor evaluates the proposed site location by considering the validity of the offeror's right to use and zoning approval. The assessment of validity includes the nature of the interest and appropriate zoning as it relates to any potential risk it poses to the government. This subfactor also evaluates the suitability of the site location with regard to local area concerns and plans to mediate concerns, and the responsiveness to proximity requirements defined in the PWS or SOW (whichever is applicable) and RFP Section J.

The offeror shall submit official documentation that demonstrates they have a right to use, signed by both parties, zoning approval and, if applicable, an occupancy permit for their proposed site location. 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.

If not contained in the initial proposal, offerors shall provide the Contracting Officer with valid proof of all zoning and local ordinance requirements necessary for the operation of a Residential Reentry Center (RRC), or any other program specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW) applicable to any and all proposed performance sites within 60 days after the date of the initial proposal submission. In addition, the offeror is required to maintain proper zoning throughout the life of the contract. An offeror's failure to establish and maintain proof may result in elimination from the competitive range prior to award, and termination for default following award.

The offeror shall complete and submit the Local Area Concerns Within a Half-Mile Radius attachment, identifying facilities whose closeness to the RRC may raise public concern. For those public concerns identified, the offeror's approach for mediating any potential community issues must be included in the space provided.

TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT EVALUATION AREA

FACTOR: Site Location SUBFACTOR: Community Relations Program

The Community Relations Program subfactor evaluates the innovativeness, credibility, and comprehensiveness of the offeror's proposed program for educating and interacting with the local community in order to acquire and maintain public support.

The offeror shall provide a Community Relations Plan which describes their approach for educating and interacting with the local community in order to acquire and maintain public support. The Plan shall not exceed 2 pages. Offeror shall ensure the Plan is relevant to the location required under this solicitation.

In responding to this factor, offerors shall also submit proof that the law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction and at least two levels of local Government officials have been notified of their intent to open and operate a (RRC) Residential Reentry Center as identified this solicitation. The proof shall be a signed copy of each notification sent via registered or certified mail to the Chief Executive Officer of the law enforcement agency and two levels of public officials of the geographical area in which the proposed facility is located. The notification letter shall be the letter provided as an Attachment in Section J of the solicitation.

Offerors shall also submit documentation to evidence community support or acknowledgment for the location of the proposed site (e.g., letters of affirmation from public officials, minutes of community relations board meetings that indicate community support or acknowledgment for the proposed site, petitions of support, etc.).
