Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 170 - Department of Corrections › Chapter 20 - Community Work Centers › Subchapter 3 - Application and Approval › Section 170:20-3-2 - Selection criteria

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Proposals which comply with all prerequisites will be further
				  evaluated using a system of weighted criteria. Sites will receive a rating on
				  each criterion, which will then be multiplied by its weight to determine the
				  score.
(1) Net costs. Cost is the most
				important criterion and carries a weight of seven. The proposal will include
				sufficient information for the department to estimate first and subsequent year
				rent, start-up cost, and operating cost. If the community can offer any
				inducements, the inducements will be clearly stated along with estimates of
				their value. The department will verify estimates. Inducements will not be
				considered unless there is proof that they will be forthcoming. The department
				will calculate the net present value of the costs of each site, less
				inducements, for a ten year period. The site with the lowest net present value
				will receive the highest rating. The site with the highest net present value
				will receive the lowest rating. The sites in between will be rated
				proportionately to their position on the range continuum.
(2) Support costs. The support costs
				criterion carries a weight of two. Judgements will be made whether the support
				costs are low, medium, or high. Low will carry a rating of ten; medium a rating
				of five; and high a rating of zero.
(3) Inmate jobs. The inmate jobs criterion
				carries a weight of two. All proposals will have sufficient public works
				potential for a 150-bed community work center. Some sites may be able to employ
				more inmates full-time than others. Sites will be rated proportionately
				according to the number of full-time jobs projected to be available.
(4) Impact of work. The impact of work
				criterion carries a weight of three. To be considered, sites must provide
				adequate prisoner public works opportunities. However, some sites may provide
				better or worse opportunities than average. Due to the nature of this
				criterion, judgements will be made whether the projects are superior, good, or
				fair. Superior will carry a rating of ten, good a rating of five, and fair a
				rating of zero.
(5) Number of
				Department of Corrections facilities in the area. The number of Department of
				Corrections facilities in the area criterion carries a weight of two. A radius
				will be determined with which to evaluate proximity. Sites further removed from
				Department of Corrections facilities will receive higher ratings than sites
				closer to Department of Corrections facilities.
(6) Department of Corrections budget in the
				site area. The Department of Corrections budget in the site area criterion
				carries a weight of two. Using the same radius as indicated in
				170:25-3-2(5)
				of this Chapter, the total department budget for correctional facilities in
				each site area a will be calculated. Proportional ratings will then be assigned
				to each site with the lower values receiving higher ratings.
