About this opportunity
The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) is seeking a third-party organization to employ a Program Developer for peer programs at the Sterling Correctional Facility through Documented Quote (DQ) #2024000056. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive pre-release/reentry program curriculum focused on reducing recidivism among justice-involved individuals. The Program Developer will be responsible for researching and designing a curriculum that covers critical areas including post-secondary education, addiction recovery, victim awareness, time management, domestic violence prevention, personal finance, leadership, and family reunification. Qualified candidates must demonstrate expertise in mental and behavioral health, cultural competency, and rehabilitation strategies for justice-involved populations. The contract requires the Program Developer to provide a detailed report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees by December 31, 2023, including recommendations for program content, statutory changes, staffing strategies, and evaluation methods. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2023, with quotes due by August 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, and the initial contract term is anticipated to be one year with potential extensions.
The procurement appears to encourage participation from diverse business types, with the administrative documents highlighting opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE). The state has set a 3% contract goal for SDVOSB participation and requires vendors to complete a Vendor Disclosure Statement detailing service locations. Contractors must comply with various administrative requirements, including maintaining specific insurance coverage, with minimum limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the insurance type. The contract includes an appropriation of $100,000 for the 2023-24 state fiscal year from the general fund to support the program's development. Vendors must also adhere to strict compliance standards, including HIPAA regulations, Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) requirements, and accessibility standards. The program is subject to annual reviews and has a sunset provision, with the legislation set to be reviewed during the 2029 legislative session to determine its continued viability.
