CDCR OFFENDERS
Section 3.01

Offender Housing.

The CONTRACTOR shall confine and supervise adult male CDCR Offenders that are transferred to the
Facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. CDCR Offenders shall be transferred into
the Facility in accordance with the Offender/Staff Phase-In Schedule, attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Attachment “A”, beginning on the Commencement of Services date. If CDCR has not provided
Attachment A at the time of the execution of this agreement, said information shall be provided not less
than 15 working days following execution, and shall be incorporated into this agreement at that time.
Nothing in that schedule shall obligate the CONTRACTOR from accepting or the State from sending
more than 200 inmates prior to the first thirty (30) days following execution CDCR Offenders shall only
be housed in housing units consistent with the offenders’ classification and security needs, subject to the
prior written approval of the CDCR Contract Monitor or designee. The schedule shall allow for
maximum occupancy to be completed within the allotted 120-day initial phase in period.
Section 3.02

Selection and Placement Process.

The CDCR Offenders to be housed in the Facility shall be selected on the basis of compliance with all
applicable state statutes or such other applicable laws or regulations of the state in which the Facility is
located relating to the housing of out of state offenders as may apply, and in addition thereto, the
following criteria and conditions:
3.02.1 Offenders assigned to the Facility shall not have known serious or significant mental health or
serious or significant physical problems.
3.02.2 Offenders assigned to the Facility shall be males eighteen years of age or older.
3.02.3 CONTRACTOR may reject any offender found not to meet the receiving state’s criteria or
otherwise deemed by the CONTRACTOR, in consultation with CDCR, to be unsuitable for
assignment to a particular Facility. In the event the initially considered Facility is deemed unsuitable
for a particular offender, the CONTRACTOR shall make all due effort to assign offenders to an
alternate appropriate Facility under this Agreement. If CDCR is unable to achieve the Minimum
Normalized Occupancy by the end of the of the Initial Phase-In Period due to Contractor’s rejection
of offenders pursuant to this section, the Initial Phase-In Period shall be extended for thirty (30) days
or until the Minimum Normalized Occupancy is achieved, whichever occurs first.
Prior to transfer, CONTRACTOR will review the classification, medical and conduct records of those
offenders recommended by the CDCR to be housed at the Facility. The parties understand that the
CONTRACTOR’S review shall include classification of the offender under the law of the state where the
offender will be housed, and shall comply with any legal requirements regarding classification imposed
thereby.
Prior to sending any CDCR Offender to the Facility, the CDCR shall provide to the Facility’s Warden,
without charge, copies of pertinent data from institutional files, commitment or other judicial orders, and
medical records of each CDCR Offender to be housed at the Facility. In conjunction with the initial
transfer of inmates from CDCR custody to CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall have the right to send

5

SCOPE OF WORK

Exhibit A

representatives, at CONTRACTOR’s expense, to CDCR Headquarters for the purpose of conducting an
on site review of the files of those inmates proposed by CDCR to be transferred to the CONTRACTOR.
If a CDCR offender is rejected by the CONTRACTOR, the reason for the rejection shall be documented
and provided to the CDCR. All CDCR Offender information shall be subject to statutory limitations on
disclosure, including but not limited to State privacy laws, and provisions of the federal requirements
imposed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or other Federal privacy
laws. The CONTRACTOR shall release information only in accordance with CDCR direction.
A duly authenticated copy of the CDCR Offender’s commitment papers and any other official papers or
documents authorizing detention, case file materials and medical/dental/psychiatric records shall be
delivered at the same time a CDCR Offender arrives at the transfer point. After the Agreement is
executed and CONTRACTOR becomes familiar with CDCR Offender files, the CONTRACTOR may
make reasonable requests for additional papers or documents to be delivered to CONTRACTOR. CDCR
understands that the safe and secure management of the Facility is dependent upon the CONTRACTOR’s
receipt of complete Offender files and shall not unreasonably withhold requested documents.
3.02.4 The requirements for minimum normalized occupancy shall commence with the first

placement of offenders at the facility of CONTRACTOR being occupied. CDCR reserves the
right to occupy CONTRACTOR’S facilities in a manner, which best suits the availability of
Offenders for such placement to CDCR. CDCR may occupy one, more than one, or all facilities
at such time and in such manner as best meets their requirements. The requirements of
normalized occupancy within 120 days shall only commence with the first placement of
offenders with any particular facility. Provided however, in the event CDCR has not utilized
beds in one or more of CONTRACTOR's facilities within 180 days from the first day a CDCR
Offender is received at a CONTRACTOR Facility then beds at any such Facility shall be
removed from the capacity used to calculate Minimum Normalized Occupancy. Prior to removal
of said beds, the CDCR shall have the option to reserve those beds by agreeing to pay the
Minimum Normalized Occupancy Rate per facility identified by CDCR as identified in this
Agreement. Thereafter, in the event CDCR desires to use beds in any Facility so removed and
beds are available in the Facility at such time, CDCR and CONTRACTOR may mutually agree
to return these beds to the capacity used to calculate the Minimum Normalized Occupancy,
subject to a reasonable phase-in period at such Facility.
Section 3.03

Transfer/Delivery of Offenders.

The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the transporting of offenders to and from CDCR to the
Facility. The parties agree to cooperate and coordinate their procedures regarding transport so as to
minimize the expense associated with such transfers. All required offender local transportation to and
from the Facility (e.g., for offsite medical care) shall also be provided and paid for by the
CONTRACTOR. Upon the request of the CONTRACTOR and with prior written approval of the CDCR
Contract Monitor, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to transfer a CDCR Offender from one facility to
another, provided the facility receiving the transferred CDCR Offender is operated by CONTRACTOR
pursuant to an agreement between CDCR and CONTRACTOR or between CDCR and an entity with
which CONTRACTOR has an operating contract.

CDCR shall reimburse CONTRACTOR for the cost of transporting offenders between the transfer point
in California and Facility, and between Facility and transfer point in California as follows:
A.

Cost of airframe and crew (“charter costs”) at actual cost. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide
CDCR with the cost quote for any transfer and CDCR shall have 48 hours to approve or reject
that quote. If CDCR rejects a quote, CDCR shall cooperate with CONTRACTOR to obtain a
replacement service provider to provide the same service at a rate acceptable to CDCR. If a
better quote cannot be obtained through these efforts, CDCR agrees to allow CONTRACTOR
to utilize the initial provider.

B

benefits for each guard accompanying the transportation of offenders. Salary and fringe is
defined for this section as actual salary plus 26% of salary in addition thereto to cover the
fringe benefits. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled administrative overhead on said
amounts calculated for guarding at a rate of 15%. CONTRACTOR shall be reimbursed for

applicable pay scales utilized by CDCR, and inform CONTRACTOR of any changes occurring thereto
during the term of this agreement. CONTRACTOR will review the CDCR pay scale to ensure that it is in
keeping with the Facility pay scales currently in place. In the event of a discrepancy, CCA will make a
recommendation to CDCR for a solution – recognizing the need to treat CDCR offenders housed out of
state in a similar manner to CDCR offenders in state and taking into account CCA’s need for similar
treatment for all jurisdictions in the facility.
Section 3.07

Return of Offenders to the CDCR.

3.07.1 Upon demand by the CDCR, offenders will be delivered to the custody of the CDCR pursuant
to the terms as set forth in Section 3.03 of this Agreement.

consistent with the safety and security of the inmate and/or staff), the CDCR will accept custody of
any offender the CONTRACTOR requests be returned to CDCR custody.

occurring in connection with the furnishing of any goods, equipment or services or the performance or
preparation for performance of any of the work or any duties of the CONTRACTOR hereunder, or
incidental or pertaining thereto, and (ii) whether or not such injury or damage is due to or chargeable to
the site owner or any contractor or subcontractor under a contract for which the goods or services herein

required herein. The CONTRACTOR shall obtain and provide proof of general liability insurance
coverage (broad form coverage) which shall specifically include fire, and legal liability in an amount not
less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) for each occurrence within a yearly aggregate of at least ten
million dollars ($10,000,000), and civil rights claims in an amount not less than two million dollars
($2,000,000) for each occurrence within a yearly aggregate of at least five million dollars ($5,000,000).
The State of California and its respective agencies shall be included as additional insureds under the
policy of general liability insurance coverage issued to the CONTRACTOR. Coverage for civil rights
liability may be issued under a separate policy but shall also include the State and its agencies as
additional insureds. Vehicle liability coverage for all vehicles used by the CONTRACTOR shall be
provided in an amount of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. Coverage shall
also specifically be provided to protect against employee dishonesty in an amount of not less than fifty

including medical malpractice liability and errors and omissions coverage, to cover all professional

29

Agreement Number C06.298-0

SCOPE OF WORK

Exhibit A

services to be provided by the CONTRACTOR to the State under this Contract. The amount of coverage
obtained shall be two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence with a five million dollar ($5,000,000)
yearly aggregate. If occurrence coverage is not available, claims-made coverage with a three (3) year tail
coverage shall be provided for the same amounts and aggregate as detailed above.
The CONTRACTOR shall obtain and provide proof of contractual liability insurance coverage to cover
all liability assumed by the CONTRACTOR under this Contract and for which the CONTRACTOR may
be liable to the State or CDCR under the indemnification provisions of this Contract (intermediate form
coverage). Such coverage may be provided by separate coverage or as an additional endorsement to a
general liability policy, but shall be in the same amounts and limits of coverage as that required for
general liability coverage.
All insurance coverage shall be obtained by the CONTRACTOR through an insurance agent licensed in
the state where the Facility is located and such coverage shall be provided by an insurance company
licensed to issue such coverage in such state. No "self-insurance" coverage shall be acceptable unless the
CONTRACTOR is licensed or authorized to self-insure for a particular coverage in the state where the
Facility is located, or is an insured member of a self-insurance group that is licensed to self-insure in such
state. All policies shall include a provision requiring at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
cancellation to the State and CDCR.
All insurance coverage required to be obtained by the CONTRACTOR shall continue in full force and
effect during the term of the Contract and any extension thereof. Proof of insurance policies must be
delivered prior to the date on which the services of the CONTRACTOR shall commence.
All insurance coverage is to be provided by insurance carriers admitted to do business in the state where
the Facility is located and coverage issued by surplus lines companies shall not be acceptable with the
exception of civil rights liability coverage. All insurance carriers shall be, at the minimum, rated "A VII"
by A.M. Best or an equivalent rating by a similar insurance rating service.
The CONTRACTOR may choose the amount of deductible for any of the insurance coverage required
(above) to be obtained by the CONTRACTOR, but in no event shall such deductible for each occurrence
exceed five (5) percent of the required yearly aggregate limit of coverage.
The CONTRACTOR is responsible for first dollar defense coverage. All general liability and professional
liability policies shall provide defense in addition to the policy limits.
The limits required herein are the minimum acceptable. However, these limits are not to be construed as
being the maximum the CONTRACTOR may wish to purchase for its own benefit.
As respects to the total limits of liability required, any combination of primary and/or umbrella coverage
may satisfy those totals. However, if an umbrella is used, coverage must be at least as broad as the
primary coverage.
Section 7.04 Certificate of Insurance and Cancellation.
During the performance of the management services hereunder,the CONTRACTOR shall maintain the
plan of insurance and submit a Certificate of Insurance to CDCR for the mutual protection and benefit of
it and CDCR, naming CDCR as co-insured and entitled to all notices issued under the policy, to

directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable. CDCR shall be notified at least thirty (30) days in advance of cancellation, non-renewal
or adverse change in the coverage. New Certificates of Insurance are to be provided to CDCR at least
fifteen (15) days after receipt by CONTRACTOR.
Section 7.05 Defense/Immunity.

defense which may be extended to them by operation of law including limitation of damages, excepting
only that the CONTRACTOR may not assert the defense of sovereign immunity.
Section 7.06 Notice of Claims.
Within ten (10) business days after receipt by CDCR, or of any agent, employee or officer of CDCR, of a
summons in any action, or within ten (10) business days of receipt by CDCR, or of any agent, employee or
officer thereof, of notice of claim, CDCR, or any agent, employee or officer, shall notify the
CONTRACTOR in writing of the commencement thereof. The notice requirement is intended to ensure
that the CONTRACTOR’S defense of the claim is not harmed by failure to comply with the notice
requirements. Failure to comply with the notice requirements may result in the CONTRACTOR’S refusal
to indemnify CDCR or any agent, employee or officer, but only if such failure to notify results in a prejudice
to the CONTRACTOR, CDCR or any agent, employee or officer. The CONTRACTOR will provide
CDCR similar notice of claims.
Section 7.07 Prior Occurrences.
The CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible for any losses or costs resulting from offender litigation
pending at the effective date of this Agreement or for lawsuits based on acts or omissions occurring prior
to the effective date of the Agreement.
Section 7.08 Waiver.
No waiver of any breach of any of the terms or conditions of the Agreement shall be held to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach; nor shall any waiver be valid or binding unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the party alleged to have granted the waiver.
Section 7.09 Risk of Physical Damage to Facility.
The risks and costs of physical damage to the Facility shall be considered usual costs incidental to the
operation of the Facility and part of the costs reimbursed by the fixed rate per offender day as provided in
Article VI. This does not preclude CONTRACTOR from taking action against an offender who causes
such damages.

indirectly through an affiliated company, person or business unless specifically authorized in writing by
the CDCR. In addition, the CONTRACTOR shall not (either directly, or indirectly through an affiliated
company, person or business) engage in financial dealings with inmates or parolees, except to the extent
that such financial dealings create no actual or potential conflict of interest, are available on the same
terms to the general public, and have been approved in advance in writing by the CDCR. For the
purposes of this paragraph, “affiliated company, person or business” means any company, business,
corporation, nonprofit corporation, partnership, limited partnership, sole proprietorship, or other person or
business entity of any kind which has any ownership or control interest whatsoever in the
CONTRACTOR, or which is wholly or partially owned (more than 5% ownership) or controlled (any

activities that create an actual or potential conflict of interest in performance of the Agreement.
The CONTRACTOR shall have a continuing duty to keep the State timely and fully apprised in writing of
any material changes in the CONTRACTOR’s business structure and/or status. This includes any
changes in business form, such as a change from sole proprietorship or partnership into a corporation or
vice-versa; any changes in company ownership; any dissolution of the business; any change of the name
of the business; any filing in bankruptcy; any revocation of corporate status by the Secretary of State; and
any other material changes in the CONTRACTOR’s business status or structure that could affect the
performance of the CONTRACTOR’s duties under the Agreement.

CONTRACTOR shall render this Agreement void at the option of CDCR.

Section 9.12 CONTRACTOR Employee Misconduct

information includes, but is not limited to: a) investigative reports; b) access to inmates/parolees and the
associated staff; c) access to employee personnel records; d) that information reasonably necessary to
assure CDCR that inmates and/or parolees are not or have not been deprived of any legal rights as
required by law, regulation, policy and procedures; and e) written evidence that the CONTRACTOR has
taken such remedial action, in the event of employee misconduct with inmates and/or parolees, as will
assure against a repetition of the incident(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without waiving any
obligation of the CONTRACTOR, CDCR retains the power to conduct an independent investigation of
any incident(s). Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to include the foregoing

operation of the facility in State.

To the extent that this Agreement may be executed and performance of the obligations of the parties may
be accomplished within the intent of the Agreement, the terms of this Agreement are severable, and
should any term or provision hereof be declared invalid or become inoperative for any reason, such
invalidity or failure shall not affect the validity of any other term or provision hereof. In the event that
any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, that provision shall be null and void. However, the
validity of the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
Section 9.16 Jurisdiction and Venue.

the interpretation, execution and enforcement of this Agreement. Venue for any legal action related to
performance or interpretation of this Agreement shall be in the City of Sacramento, California.

Subcontracting and Assignment.

Nothing contained in this Agreement, or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the
CDCR and any subcontractors, and no subcontract shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of
CONTRACTOR’S responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONTRACTOR agrees to be as fully
responsible to CDCR for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors and of persons either directly or
indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the
CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR’S obligation to pay its subcontractors is an independent
obligation from the CDCR’S obligation to make payments to the CONTRACTOR. As a result, the
CDCR shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any moneys to any subcontractor.
