SUMMARY
Pursuant to RFP #10955, GEO Reentry Services, LLC has been tentatively awarded a contract for services to adult offenders under Probation and Parole supervision in a Day Reporting Center (DRC) model. The Probation Department is recommending the approval of a multi-year agreement with GEO Reentry Services, LLC for continuation of a Day Reporting Center for adult offenders in Monterey County.
DISCUSSION:
The Day Reporting Center model is recognized as an effective correctional strategy and community-based alternative to incarceration for eligible adult offenders. The program uses Motivational Interviewing techniques and a curricula-driven, evidence-based model designed to assess the criminogenic needs of each client to reduce individual risk factors, develop individual goals, and make positive life changes. Treatment and supervision services are provided in a one-stop setting for moderate and high-risk adult offenders.
The Day Reporting Center offers counseling, treatment, life skills classes and job training to eligible participants. The center is open five days a week and has a capacity of up to 100 clients per day. These services fill a critical need in the post-detention transition of adult offenders and provide needed rehabilitative services; continuation of these services is critical to support offenders in their journey toward rehabilitation and reintegration in the local community.
The program is supported by AB 109 - Public Safety Realignment funding to provide services to realigned populations of adult offenders referred by the Probation Department.
Day Reporting Services for the Probation Department were solicited via a County Request for Proposal (RFP#10955) overseen by the Contracts/Purchasing Department. After completion of the RFP process, the Contracts/Purchasing Officer tentatively selected GEO Reentry, LLC, which has been the provider of DRC services in Monterey County since 2009. The GEO Reentry proposal was the most comprehensive, responsive to the needs and requirements of Probation, and the sole responsible bidder. This will also ensure a seamless continuation of services to offenders in the program.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT/COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
County Counsel, and the Office of the Auditor-Controller have reviewed and approved this Agreement as to legal form and fiscal provisions. This Agreement is on file with Clerk of the Board. The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) has recommended continuation of services and funding for FY25-26 and FY 26-27.
FINANCING:
Funding for this contract in the amount of $7,678,756 is provided by the State’s Public Safety Realignment Act (AB109). Funding for the services provided in this contract has been approved by the CCP and the current year’s portion of $361,563 is included in the Probation Department’s (2550-PRO001-8165) FY 25-26 Adopted Budget.
