Reentry Service Center and Recovery Kentucky Centers

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Corrections is seeking proposals for Reentry Service Centers and Recovery Kentucky Centers through Request for Proposal (RFP) 758 2500000122. The procurement aims to establish fully operational residential facilities that provide comprehensive services for felons, probationers, parolees, and pre-release offenders. Vendors must offer at least two evidence-based treatment programs, with specific requirements for Reentry Service Centers and Recovery Kentucky Centers, including substance abuse programming and compliance with federal Housing and Urban Development regulations. The centers must provide room and board, counseling, educational and recreational services, and collect 25% of a parolee's weekly gross salary upon employment. Proposals will be accepted from November 1, 2024, through October 14, 2026, with an initial two-year contract term and potential for two additional two-year renewals. The solicitation requires vendors to submit electronic technical solutions, comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and meet specific operational standards including facility design, staffing, medical services, and resident rights. The Kentucky Department of Corrections will determine bed needs and facility placement, with per diem rates ranging from $27.62 to $40.37 depending on the type of facility and offender population.

The RFP does not specify strict set-aside designations but appears open to various vendor types, including non-profit organizations and small businesses. Vendors can potentially participate through subcontractors, and the solicitation does not prohibit online bidding. The procurement requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, professional liability, and automobile liability insurance. Vendors must complete various affidavits, including forms for qualified bidder status, resident bidder status, and compliance with campaign finance laws. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award multiple contracts and will evaluate proposals based on technical merit, compliance with solicitation requirements, and ability to meet the Department of Corrections' needs. While no specific total contract value is mentioned, the per diem pricing structure suggests significant potential revenue for successful vendors. Interested parties must submit detailed documentation, including bid information forms, technical solutions, and compliance with all terms and conditions outlined in Attachment A of the solicitation.
