SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: NIC’s Jail Resource 

Management course is a 3-day training 

program that focuses on the resource 

needs of the jail, development and 

presentation of a budget request, 

management of the budget, and 

identification of alternate funding 

options. This 3-day program is held in 

regions throughout the county. 

Program participants are primarily 

sheriffs and administrators from smaller 

jails who have no specialized fiscal 

management staff. Most have no 

formally established mechanisms to 

identify, document, track, justify, or 

present resource needs. As a result, their 

jails often receive budget allocations 

that are inadequate to maintain a safe 

and secure jail. 

NIC wishes to update the content of 

Jail Resource Management and ensure 

its design conforms to the ITIP model. 

The following reference materials are 

posted with this announcement on 

NIC’s Web site: Jail Resource 

Management: Lesson Plans; Jail 

Resource Management: Participant 

Manual; Jail Resource Management: 

Presentation Slides; Jail Resource 

Management: Activities. 

Scope of Work: The cooperative 

agreement awardee will revise the 

content of the current program to ensure 

it is current, accurate, and relevant. The 

awardee also will ensure that module 

sequencing is logical and enhances the 

flow of the program. Finally, the 

awardee will revise the program’s 

design to conform to the ITIP model. 

The awardee will ensure that content, 

module sequencing, and instructional 

strategies effectively contribute to 

meeting the program’s goal. To achieve 

this, the awardee will complete the 

following activities, at a minimum. 

Initial Meeting: The cooperative 

agreement awardee, with subject matter 

expert and the curriculum specialist, 

will attend an initial meeting with the 

NIC staff for a project overview and 

preliminary planning. This will take 

place shortly after the cooperative 

agreement is awarded. The meeting will 

last up to one half day and will be 

conducted via Web conferencing. 

Initial curriculum review: The 

awardee will review and become 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
2326 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 17, 2012 / Notices 

familiar with the current lesson plans, 

presentation slides, participant manual, 

and other training materials. The 

awardee will document any comments 

based on this review for discussion at 

the initial curriculum review. The 

current program will be offered in 

March and the awardee may attend the 

course as a part of the curriculum 

review. 

Curriculum review meeting with NIC 

staff: After becoming familiar with the 

curriculum, the awardee (project 

director, subject matter experts, and 

curriculum specialist) will meet with 

NIC staff for 3 days in Washington, DC, 

to discuss the program’s goal, audience, 

and design. The awardee and NIC staff 

will identify needed revisions to 

content, instructional strategies, 

presentation slides, the participant 

manual, and other training materials. 

In the cooperative agreement 

application, the awardee is required to 

project milestones and dates for the 

completion of all project activities. 

Based on the decisions made during the 

initial meeting, the awardee and NIC 

staff may set additional dates for 

completion of specific activities. 

The awardee will document primary 

discussion points and all decisions 

made during the meeting and will give 

NIC this documentation within 2 weeks 

of the meeting. 

Draft revisions and NIC review: Based 

on decisions made during the initial 

meeting, the awardee will draft 

revisions to the curriculum. Lesson plan 

revisions will be completed first. The 

awardee will send revised lesson plans 

to NIC staff for review and approval 

before any other materials are 

developed. Once the lesson plans are 

approved, the awardee will draft 

revisions to the presentation slides and 

participant manual. The awardee will 

also send these draft revisions to NIC 

staff for review and approval. Finally, 

the awardee will draft participant 

evaluation forms to be completed after 

each module and at the end of the 

program and will send these to NIC staff 

for approval. 

Program Pilot: The awardee will 

conduct one pilot of the revised 

curriculum at a location yet to be 

determined. The awardee will identify 

trainers for this pilot in conjunction 

with NIC staff. The awardee will hire 

these trainers and pay their fees and 

expenses. 

The awardee will also pay fees and 

expenses for the project director and 

curriculum specialist, both of whom are 

required to attend the entire program. If 

qualified, the project director or others 

on the cooperative agreement team may 

be included among the trainers. 

The awardee will print all program 

materials for the instructors and the 

participants and will assume all costs. 

The awardee will send one full set of 

these materials to NIC staff prior to the 

program for approval. 

During the pilot, the awardee, 

curriculum specialist, and trainers will 

meet regularly with NIC staff to discuss 

their observations about the revised 

program and the participants’ response. 

They will also review and discuss the 

module evaluations each day. 

The awardee will document the main 

discussion points and decisions from 

these meetings. The awardee will also 

summarize all participant evaluations 

(module and end-of-program). The 

awardee will submit the documentation 

of the meetings, the evaluation 

summaries, and all participant 

evaluations to NIC within 2 weeks after 

the program. 

Final program revisions: Based on the 

results of the pilot program and 

discussion with NIC staff, the awardee 

will draft additional curriculum 

revisions. The awardee will send the 

drafts to NIC staff for review and 

approval before creating the final 

curriculum. 

Final product: The final curriculum 

will include a program description 

(overview), detailed narrative lesson 

plans, presentation slides for each 

lesson plan, a participant manual that 

follows the lesson plans, and other 

training materials as identified through 

this project. The curriculum will be 

designed according to the ITIP model 

for adult learners. Lesson plans will be 

in a format that NIC provides. The 

awardee will deliver all materials in 

hard copy (1) and on a disk. The 

awardee must also ensure that all 

products meet NIC’s standards for 

accessibility and Section 508 

compliance. 

Meetings: In addition to the initial 

Web conference and the curriculum 

review meeting noted above, the 

awardee will attend other meetings with 

NIC staff as needed for project 

development and updates. These 

meetings will include, at a minimum, 1 

two-day meeting in Washington, DC, 

and several Web conferences. The Web 

conferences will be hosted by NIC and 

will last up to 4 hours each. NIC will 

pay to host the Web conferences, but 

fees for project staff who attend will be 

charged to the cooperative agreement. 

For all meetings, the awardee should 

plan to have the project director, subject 

matter experts, and the curriculum 

specialist attend.
