BOOKING FACILITY INFORMATION
The Direct Booking Facility proposed for the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) will
be designed as a Type I Facility. The facility will be used to process, stage, and hold
amestees for eight to twelve hours prior to transportation to the SheriWs jail.
It is currently estimated that BPD arrests and books an average of 33 violators per day.
That figure may increase slightly over the years, but should remain below an average of 60
for some time to come.
Detainees will include males and females and the classification of charges will include
detoxification, non-violent 5150's, misdemeanor, felony, and warrant arrests. Arresting
officers will make from 12 - 24 trips per day.
All detainess will be medically screened and classified.
Medical screening will be accomplished through the use of a standardized questionnaire.
All medical and mental health problem inmates will be transported directly to a hospital or
the county jail.
Only general population inmates and inmates who fall within the segregation and security
limits of the facility will be held.
During processing, some arrestees, upon confirmation of their identification, will be issued
a promise to appear citation. API is very sensitive to the issue of "release without
transportation" and will negotiate with BPD for arrangements for their prisoners to either
be released to bonafide transportation or return to the downtown court building for
release.
Those detainees not cited and released will be held at the facility until there is a sufficient
number to transport to the jail or court. Transportation will be done in approved sized
vans or buses, and will be accomplished 3 times a day or as needed.
The facility shall be staffed by properly trained detention officers any time the detainees
are in the facility. API staff at the Booking Facility will number approximately 20. It is
estimated that staff will generate approximately 15 - 20 trips per day.
Visitors and service vehicle traffic for the Booking Facility should be approximately 25 -
50 per day.

550 BED COIvJMUNITY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY PROJECT
REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
I. PROJECT INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
The California Department of CoiTections (CDC) has issued a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to solicit bids to modify its current private Community Correctional Facility (CCF)
Program through a bed expansion for medium security inmates. CDC will consider
proposals on a statewide basis and contract for this expansion with appropriate agencies to
provide housing, sustenance, supervision and program services for selected adult felons
(inmates) in accordance with Title 15. It is anticipated that at least four contracts will be
awarded; each for the acquisition, construction and operation of a 500-bed CCF. It is
anticipated that the contracts will commence on or about May 1, 1996. CDC is seeking
proposals which include a short time frame for construction in order to activate quickly.
The desired activation date is sometime between December 1996 and May 1997. A
Conditional Use Permit is necessary to qualification as a bidder in this process.
B. Background Statement
The Director of CDC is authorized by law under Penal Code (PC) Sections 6250-6256 to
enter into contracts with public or private agencies to provide housing, sustenance,
supervision, counseling and other correctional programs for persons eligible for placement
in CCFs.
At the current rate of growth in the inmate population and additional growth projected as
a result of the "Three Strikes Legislation", it is estimated that CDC will experience a
shortfall in available beds. All alternatives for easing this shortfall are being reviewed. As
a part of the resolution, it has been determined that CDC shall modify the existing
screening criteria used for placement of inmates in the current CCFs to allow for higher
level custody inmates in these new beds thereby expanding its program.
C. Problem Statement
With the passage of the "Three Strikes" law, CDC will experience a significant increase in
the inmate population. This population explosion will impact the safety and security of the
prisons in the State of California. Most of CDC's bed space needs will be addressed
through the construction of new prisons. There remains a need for smaller, contracted
facilities.
D. Program Goals and Objectives
The goal and objective of this RFP is to contract for the construction and activation of at
least four new 500-bed private community based CCFs. These four new CCFs, under the
Community Correctional Centers Administration (CCCA), will provide inmate
and sustenance and immediately relieve the critical overcrowding in the prisons..~?~

550 Bed Community
Correctional Facility
Renovation of existing structures will not be accepted. Proposals must be for build-to-suit
only. The term build-to-suit means that the proposed Contractor must provide a design
which meets all minimum specifications outlined in the RFP and which is capable of
housing 500+ inmates for at least 10 years.
Because time is of the essence, CDC is seeking proposals for a CCF that can be
constructed within a short time flame. It is anticipated that the construction phase will
begin immediately upon contract commencement which is estimated to be on or about
May 1, 1996. It is imperative that activation begin in May 1997; and therefore, a
maximum construction period of up to twelve months will be considered. The C.U.P.
must be completed before 1-15-96. Failure to comply will result in disqualification
of the bidder.
All construction must be completed and the facility must be "ready for occupancy" as
determined by CDC within the time flame specified in the bidder's proposal and accepted
by CDC. The term "ready for occupancy" means that the Contractor has:
1. Obtained funding for the acquisition, construction and purchase of equipment and
entered into a contract for the construction of the facility;
2. Submitted final plans and specifications to CDC:
Made legally binding arrangements for the purchase, delivery and installation and
testing of all of the equipment items identified on Attachment 2.1 as approved by
CDC;
Developed and submitted to CDC project development items relative to personnel
operations and management and ensured that the facility is ready for shakedown, staff
training and initial occupancy;
5. Completed training of each ofits custody and program staff as required by the SOW;
6. Completed and obtained CDC approval of an Operational and Procedures Manual.
7. Obtained all required local city and county occupancy permits and certificates.
Failure to complete all construction and ready for occupancy requirements within a
specified time period will result in liquidated damages.
The CCF must be constructed and operated to ensure a 24-hour-a-day secured perimeter
(security fencing and electronic monitoring devices) and equipped to monitor internal
movement as well as detect any unauthorized ingress/egress. Additionally, the CCF must
be configured to meet all Health and Safety code, State building code, Federal American
Disabilities Act and CCF building and grounds requirements. The minimum CCF bu~g~
and grounds requirements include the following components: c~~ "~'C~o~
