Cooperative Agreement Announcement

District of Columbia Department of

Corrections Study

I. Overview

Congress has appropriated $200,000

to the National Institute of Corrections

(NIC) for Federal Fiscal Year 1995 to

fund an in-depth study of the District of

Columbia Department of Corrections

(DC DOC). Therefore, the National

Institute of Corrections is soliciting

applications from organizations or

individuals knowledgeable about

correctional management, programs and

operations. The project to be funded

involves an analysis and evaluation of

specific areas of the District of Columbia

Department of Corrections. Some areas

will also require attention in the

development of a program design as

well as implementation strategies. The

project should include, but not be

limited to, a compilation and review of

existing data and relevant information;

analysis of the data, to include previous

and/or on-going court ordered

evaluations and findings; evaluation of

areas listed below; and

recommendations for programmatic and

operational improvement in the DC

DOC based on current and ‘‘best’’

practices.

II. Scope

The successful applicant will

document findings and

recommendations in a report to be made

available to NIC. The report will be

based on a comprehensive study of each

of the areas listed below:

* Analysis of the rated capacity of the

system, to include an analysis of the

appropriate number of inmates to be

housed in each facility;

* Design and implementation of an

objective classification system and a

community risk assessment system;

* Staffing analysis;

* A review of the policies,

procedures, standards, regulations and

laws currently governing human

resource issues within the D.C.

Department of Corrections including

hiring, training, assignment, and

promotion of personnel with a special

emphasis on hiring and training

standards;

* Assessment of the physical plant, to

include, but not be limited to, state of

repair and safety and health

considerations;

* Security analysis of those facilities

which are not under court order, to

include, but not be limited to, internal

security, perimeter/external security,

and assessment of emergency

preparedness; (through and

comprehensive security audits as well

as assessments of emergency

preparedness have been conducted at

Central, Maximum and the Jail by Court

consultants. This effort will be extended

to all other facilities by the cooperative

agreement recipient);

* Facility safety and health

assessments, primarily of an

environmental nature, to include, but

not be limited to, food service

sanitation, vector control, air quality,

water supply and sewage disposal,

lighting, and noise control, and

communicable disease and infection

control. (Comprehensive assessments

are currently being conducted at

Central, Maximum, Modular and the Jail

by the Department of Consumer and

Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) with

thorough, detailed reports issued every

four months by highly qualified

environmental health and safety

experts. The concerns at the facilities

under court scrutiny are probably

similar to those at all DC facilities and

these issues can be addressed by

auditing the facilities not under court

scrutiny and extrapolating the relevant

findings of the DCRA reports to them);

* Assessment of the adequacy of

existing financial resources;

* Review and recommendations as to

new and/or additional policies and

procedures relative to the above

mentioned areas.

Funding for this project has been set

at $200,000 which will support one

cooperative agreement. Activities

funded through this agreement are to be

completed within six months after the

project award. Those eligible for

application consideration include state

agencies; public for profit or non-profit

organizations; associations; educational

institutions; other organizations and

individuals. This project is on an

expedited time frame and the award

recipient should be prepared to begin

work within 45 days of the closing date

of the announcement. Applications for

this project must be received by the

Prisons Division no later than 4 p.m.

Eastern time, March 20, 1995.

Note: It is acceptable for two or more

organizations to join together to submit a

joint application for this award or for an

applicant to propose some type of a

subcontract. There are specific provisions

which apply to these types of arrangements.

Any applicants planning on proposing such

an arrangement should contact NIC and

specifically request the briefing materials

related to this issue, see Section VI.

III. Application Procedures

The applicant must complete OMB

Standard Form 424, Application for

Federal Assistance; the certification of a

drug-free workplace; and the
