2. AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION NO.

14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible).

The services will be provided on an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity type contract with firm-fixed unit prices according to the guaranteed minimum quantities and estimated maximum quantities outlined above. It is the intent of the Government to award Line Items for RRC in-house beds and home confinement placements to a single provider as these services are interconnected and rely upon each other to ensure adequate programming and case management of offenders.

The period of performance for any contract which the Government may award under the terms and conditions of the RFP will be for a one-year base period with a guaranteed minimum and estimated maximum. The guaranteed minimum will be calculated based on number of mandays used at the end of the base period. The additional four one-year option periods will not include a guaranteed minimum, only an estimated maximum. Offerors must submit pricing for the base period and each option period. Services are required to be provided in accordance with Section C, Statement of Work, with documentation as required. For the purposes of billing, home confinement and furloughs are considered one manday. Also, furloughs shall be billed at half the rate of the in-house RRC rate.

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions and to make an award which is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. "RRC services" (for in-house RRC beds) are as defined by the statement of work for this requirement. "Home Confinement Services (for home confinement placements) are as defined in Chapter 10, Programs, and in all other applicable references in the statement of work for home confinement services.

The minimum requirement for all services will be satisfied by the Government with both male and female offenders. For Home Confinement services, male and female quantities are combined for a total minimum guarantee and a total maximum estimate which can be comprised of either males or females. For in-house RRC services, the contractor shall ensure 48 (max) beds are available for males, 6 (max) beds are available for females.

Offerors are advised that all usage amounts above the guaranteed minimum during the base period are estimates only. These estimates above the guaranteed minimum are not a representation by the Government to the offeror that the estimated quantities will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting the requirement will be stable. These estimates above the guaranteed minimum do not constitute a Bureau of Prisons usage guarantee or a guarantee of revenue to the offeror. Payment shall be made for actual consumption/usage.

Pursuant to FAR 17.203(b) and (d), the Government's evaluation shall be inclusive of options and offerors may offer varying prices for options.

Services are required to be provided in accordance with Part I, Section C, the Statement of Work, with documentation as required.

3) In Section C.1 Statement of Work/Specifications, delete in its entirety and replace with the following language:

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provides community-based residential and nonresidential correctional services through contractual agreements with state, county, and city governments, as well as private contractors. These contractors provide services which include employment and residence development and other self-improvement opportunities to assist federal residents during the transition from prison to the community.

1. OBJECTIVE - The objective is to establish a Residential

Reentry Center (RRC) that provides comprehensive community-based services for individuals who are in the custody of the BOP or under the supervision of United States Probation and Pretrial

Services.

2. STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) - The SOW sets forth the contract performance requirements for the management and operation of a

RRC for federal residents. The contractor will ensure the RRC operates in a manner consistent with the mission of the BOP.

The BOP’s mission is to protect society by confining individuals in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost efficient, appropriately secure, and provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist inmates and residents in becoming law-abiding citizens.

3. PLACEMENT OF INMATES - Only the Residential Reentry Manager

(RRM) or his or her designee can approve a federal inmate's placement at a RRC.

4. CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY - The contractor will furnish all personnel, management, equipment, supplies, and services necessary for performance of all aspects of the contract.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the contractor is responsible for all costs associated with and incurred as part of providing the services outlined in this contract.

5. BOP VALUES - The BOP can successfully carry out its mission because its operations are firmly grounded in a set of common values and functional goals. A clear vision of the BOP’s organizational and individualized responsibilities exists among its employees. The BOP has a set of values and shared attitudes that guide staff's actions.

The agency’s values are important for contract employees to understand because they are the foundation of duties to be fulfilled in performance of the contract’s functions. The core values are:

Correctional Excellence – We are correctional workers first, committed to the highest level of performance.

Respect – We embrace diversity and recognize the value and dignity of staff, residents and the general public.

Integrity — We demonstrate uncompromising ethical conduct in all our actions.

The RRC has an obligation to provide residents with an opportunity to acquire the necessary skills for self-improvement, and to practice law-abiding behavior upon release.

Residents are encouraged to maintain family and community ties through correspondence, visitation and planning for eventual release, through participation in pre-release classes, and other programs. Residents have the obligation to honor their debts and begin payment while confined. Each resident is personally responsible for taking advantage of available RRC programs.

6. CONTRACT PERFORMANCE - All services and programs will comply with the SOW; the U.S. Constitution; all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; applicable

Presidential Executive Orders (E.O.); all applicable case law;

and court orders. Should a conflict exist between any of the aforementioned standards, the most stringent will apply. When a conflict exists, and a conclusion cannot be made as to which standard is more stringent, the BOP will determine the appropriate standard. The BOP reserves the right to issue interim guidance that supersedes policy and/or aforementioned standards. The contractor will comply with and implement any applicable changes to BOP policy, Department of Justice (DOJ) regulation, Congressional mandate, federal law or Presidential

Executive Orders.

The BOP reserves the right to enter into negotiations with the contractor to change the conditions or procedures in this SOW and contract. Should the BOP invoke such changes, the contractor retains rights and remedies to equitable adjustment under the terms and conditions of the contract.

The BOP reserves the right to have various staff, to include staff from United States Probation and Pretrial Services, Office of the Inspector General, Federal and State Law Enforcement agencies, and other authorized users, assist in the monitoring of contract performance. The BOP reserves the right to conduct announced and unannounced inspections of any part of the facility at any time and by any method to assess contract compliance.

The BOP may investigate any incident pertaining to the performance of this contract. The contractor will comply and cooperate with the BOP on all investigations, monitoring visits, inspections, and inquiries.

The contractor will report all criminal activity related to the performance of this contract to the appropriate law enforcement investigative agency (e.g., Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Marshals Service, state and local authorities), and immediately notify the RRM of the report. The contractor will immediately report to the RRM any person or agency requesting to use a resident in any investigation; no resident may participate in any such investigation without prior approval of the BOP.

The contractor will submit any requests for contract changes through the RRM to the Contracting Officer (CO) for approval.

The contractor will provide electronic media to include e-mail and internet access for all RRC staff, and will provide capability for the electronic submission and receipt of paperwork and reports (e.g., referrals, movement notifications, terminal reports, disciplinary reports, etc.) to the BOP at the discretion of the RRM.
