Space Coordination Agreement

Space planning is defined as the leasing and management of physical office space including, but not

limited to, space design, tenant improvements, and procurement of furniture (both conventional

and modular), required office equipment, and the voice and data structure to operate an office.

The Office of the Receiver (responsible for medical care remedial infrastructure) needs to work in

coordination with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the

Division of Correctional Health Care Services (DCHCS) (responsible for the mental health, dental,

and the Americans with Disabilities Act remedial infrastructure) to achieve the respective missions,

visions, and goals of the Plata, Coleman, Perez, and Armstrong class actions. Based on previously

approved coordination agreements, the Receiver is responsible for Information Technology,

Telemedicine, Construction including New Healthcare Facility Construction and Upgrade

Construction, Chief Executive Officer Pilot Program, CIM-GACH, Contracts, Credentialing, Hiring,

and Pharmacy. A coordinated office space agreement would ensure that the space related

infrastructure required will be available to support these agreements.

Currently, office space planning is managed separately by the Receiver and DCHCS. It would be

more practical and efficient for this process to be managed and handled by a single unit. The Court

representatives in Plata, Coleman, Perez, and Armstrong propose that the Receiver’s Plata Support

Division Business Operations Unit assume responsibility, in coordination with DCHCS and subject to

the oversight of the Court representatives in Plata, Coleman, Perez, and Armstrong, for all noninstitutional office space statewide for the medical, mental health, and dental programs. Placing

this responsibility under a single unit will ensure that the planning, acquisition, and management

of necessary space would support both the Receiver’s objectives and the requirements of the mental

health and dental programs in a cost efficient manner.
