Juvenile Offender Rehabilitative Facilities Construction Program: SB 81 Round Two RFP Released
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) has released the request for proposals associated with the juvenile rehabilitative facilities construction program first authorized in SB 81 (2007). Thirteen projects have already been awarded conditional financing under the first round of SB 81 funding, but nearly $80 million remains in state-funded lease revenue bond financing for the acquisition, design, renovation, or construction of juvenile facilities in California. Projects funded out of Round Two must be commenced by June 30, 2017.
The RFP, available here, details key events, technical requirements, evaluation factors, and other considerations. Matching funds of 25 percent, with a waiver process available for counties with a population of less than 200,000, must be proffered.
A bidders’ conference is scheduled for the afternoon of October 14 at BSCC’s headquarters in Sacramento. Preregistration is required.
The final deadline for proposals is 5 p.m. on December 19. CSAC will continue to provide updates on this process. Counties are urged to attend the bidders’ conference and all public meetings associated with the BSCC application process.
