Criminal Alien Requirement 6 - Pre-Solicitation NoticeModification No. 001



Description: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has a requirement to house a population of approximately 7000 low security, non-US citizens, primarily Mexican sentenced male inmates in an existing secure correctional institution or institutions procured from state or local governments or private sources. Faith Based and Community Organizations have an equal right to submit competitive proposals for any resulting contract(s). The approximately 7000 inmates are presently located in West Texas. This requirement will be solicited on an unrestricted basis, open to both large and small sized companies. The BOP will fulfill this requirement through multiple awards and anticipates that each facility or complex of facilities will house approximately 900-3000 inmates. Offerors are not prohibited from housing non-BOP inmates at the institutions(s). If the proposed institution(s) houses a mixed population of BOP and non-BOP inmates, offers will be evaluated to determine the soundness and effectiveness in managing and operating the shared institution(s). Institutions proposed shall meet BOP standards as set forth in the resulting contract. The facility(ies) proposed must be located in Arizona, California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or Texas. Expansion or renovation of existing institutions is permitted if completed within 270 calendar days after contract award when a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) as required by the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) exists. When a FONSI does not exist as required by NEPA, expansion or renovation of existing institutions is permitted up to 20% of the existing square footage proposed and completed within 270 calendar days. Any such expansion or renovation must not interfere with or delay the arrival of inmates as required by the resulting solicitation/contract. Offerors shall demonstrate the ability to provide all personnel, equipment, materials, supplies and services necessary for the management and operation of a secure correctional institution. The BOP intends to award a firm fixed-price type contract with award-fee incentives. The contract will have a potential term of 10 years consisting of one four-year base period and three two-year option periods. Contract performance will be governed by a performance-based statement of work based on American Correctional Association/Standards for Adult Correctional Institutions with a contractor management emphasis on quality control. The offeror awarded the contract must be ready to accept inmates 120 days after contract award at a rate specified in the resulting contract. The BOP has established a decisional rule criterion requiring all offerors to clearly demonstrate they have verifiable corporate experience operating a secure correctional/detention institution for a continuous three-year period as of the date the Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued. Past Performance and experience will be significant factors in the evaluation of offers. Award selection shall be made on a best value basis for the Government. Information will be requested from offerors regarding past environmental activities and the environmental condition of the proposed site where the institution is located. Prior to contract award, environmental documentation and other related information will be required in order to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The BOP anticipates issuing the solicitation on or about 5/12/06 with an estimated response date of 07/12/06. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the BOP. The solicitation will be available on or after 5/12/06 and will be distributed solely through the General Services Administrations Federal Business Opportunity website http://www.fedbizopps.gov.
