Reentry Service Center and Recovery Kentucky Centers

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet and Department of Corrections is seeking vendors to provide fully operational residential facilities for Reentry Service Centers and Recovery Kentucky Centers through Request for Proposal (RFP) 758 2500000122. The procurement aims to secure facilities that can house and provide comprehensive services for felons, probationers, parolees, and pre-release offenders, with a specific focus on offering at least two evidence-based treatment programs. Vendors must provide facilities that comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including fire codes, building standards, and specific Department of Corrections policies. The initial contract term is two years, with potential for two additional two-year renewals, and proposals will be accepted from November 1, 2024, through October 14, 2026. Key deliverables include residential housing, substance abuse treatment, medical care, counseling, religious programs, recreation, and work assignments, with centers required to be prepared to accept clients immediately upon contract approval. The procurement requires vendors to submit electronic bids with detailed technical solutions, and the Commonwealth will evaluate proposals based on the ability to meet comprehensive service requirements and compliance with all specified regulations.

The RFP appears open to various types of organizations, including non-profit organizations and small businesses, with the potential for multiple organizations to participate through subcontractors. Vendors can invoice a daily per diem fee and potentially collect up to 25% of participants' gross pay upon employment. Per diem rates vary by bed level and offender classification, ranging from $27.62 for Level 1 Parolee Reentry Service Center beds to $40.36 for Level 1(A) Male Parolee and Probationer beds. The Commonwealth does not guarantee a minimum number of beds and will fill centers based on current needs. Facilities must be approved settings, not residential houses, and cannot be single-family residences. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability, and Automobile Liability insurance, with specific coverage limits. While no specific total contract value is stated, the per diem rates and potential for multiple contract awards suggest a significant procurement opportunity for qualified vendors capable of meeting the complex residential and rehabilitative service requirements.
