The target age group is 18 to 25 years of age; however, older offenders may be considered for the program based upon the success rate as defined in Senate Bill 678. The County reserves the sole right to set the target population parameters. The Day Reporting Center (DRC) shall maintain a minimum of fifty (50) slots for adult offenders that are on felony probation in lieu of prison and provide individualized evidence-based programming to them. It is possible the program could expand in increments of 10 slots up to 100 slots. The proposed program shall be six (6) months in length, starting with an intensive first phase and gradually lessening in intensity in subsequent phases. An aftercare program is also desired. Minimum hours of operation will be Monday—Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8'.00 p.m. and a minimum of four(4) hours on Saturdays and Sundays. It is anticipated the contract with the selected vendor will be for three (3)years with two (2) optional one (1) year extensions. Programming DRC programming shall include but not be limited to: daily check-ins, random drug testing,job skills training/placement, substance abuse counseling, anger management, family and parenting counseling, educational services/GED, life skills, relapse prevention, and mental health assessment. Staff providing direct services will meet minimum state certification requirements for each specific discipline, i.e., substance abuse counseling,family and parenting counseling, and mental health assessment. Programming provided at the DRC must use evidence-based cognitive behavior therapies, addressing criminogenic needs and be designed to reduce recidivism. Respondents to the RFP must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of these concepts. Interested vendors responding to the RFP shall propose the curriculum and programming to be provided in the DRC and shall provide detailed information on the curriculum and programming proposed. The County reserves the right to negotiate curriculum and programming selection. Location/Space The Probation Department will provide the vendor with space to operate the DRC at 2212 N. Winery, Suite 122, Fresno, CA 93703. The vendor will be sharing the suite with the Probation Department's Drug Suppression Unit. Approximately 4,000 sq. ft. will be available for the DRC. The shared suite has two locking doors to separate a majority of the Probation space from the DRC space. Probation will have access to both areas in order to utilize shared space such as the staff restrooms, conference and break rooms. DRG will not have access to the Probation areas on the East side of the building. The doors block the hallway in the Southeast corner outside offices 15 and 17 and in the Northeast corner outside offices 4 and 5. See attached site map (Attachment A)which delineates DRC space, Probation space, and shared space. The DRC entrance is in the Southwest corner of the building and Probation's entrance is in the Northwest corner, There is a non-secured parking area for DRC and Probation staff and clients, which is lit at night. The County will be paying the lease, which includes janitorial services and restroom supplies, as well as paying for water/sewer/garbage and utilities (PG&E)costs. The County has a contract for security alarm maintenance and monitoring, which it pays for, and County security checks on the building. The County will be providing space only to the vendor. The vendor will be responsible for providing everything else, i.e., furniture, equipment, supplies, telephones, etc. The vendor will ensure the DRC facility is secure by providing adequate supervision during hours of operation.

However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction. 3.

Location/Space (Page 3 of Overview and Page 20 of Scope of Work), Replace what was stated in the RFP with the following: "The Probation Department will provide the vendor with space to operate the DRC at 2212 N. Winery Avenue, Suite 122, Fresno, CA 93703, or at an alternate comparable space as designated by the Probation Department. The vendor will be sharing the suite on Winery with the Probation Department's Drug Suppression Unit and approximately 4,000 sq. ft. will be available for the DRC. The shared suite has two locking doors to separate a majority of the Probation space from the DRC space. Probation will have access to both areas in order to utilize shared space such as the staff restrooms, conference and break rooms. DRC will not have access to the Probation areas on the East side of the building. The doors block the hallway in the Southeast comer outside offices 15 and 17 and in the Northeast corner outside offices 4 and 5. See attached site map (Attachment A) which delineates DRC space, Probation space, and shared space. The DRC entrance is in the Southwest corner of the building and Probation's entrance is in the Northwest corner. There is a non-secured parking area for DRC and Probation staff and clients, which is lit at night. The County will be paying the lease, which includes janitorial services and restroom supplies, as well as paying for water/sewer/garbage and utilities (PG&E) costs. The County has a contract for security alarm maintenance and monitoring, which it pays for, and County security checks on the building. The County will be providing space only to the vendor. The vendor will be responsible for providing everything else, i.e., furniture, equipment, supplies, telephones, etc. The vendor will ensure the DRC facility is secure by providing adequate supervision during hours of operation." 2.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q1. Regarding the drug testing, are presumptive drug test results acceptable? A1. Probation requires confirmation drug tests on non-negative drug screenings. Q2. Is drug testing paid for by the vendor? A2. Yes, drug testing supplies and services are paid for by vendor. Q3. Are there prescribed caseload requirements? A3. No Q4. Attachment D, page 1: It is unclear what is meant to go in the Administrative column versus the Direct column, please elaborate. A4. The Administrative column is intended for personnel or percentage of any personnel's time who do not provide direct services to clients (i.e. Accountants/Administrators) and the Direct column is for personnel who do provide direct services(i.e. Counselor). Q5. Does Probation anticipate a need for a domestic violence component at the Day Reporting Center? A5. Domestic violence would not be a required component as Probation utilizes certified Batterer Intervention Programs that are already in place for domestic violence cases. Q6. Some agencies require gender-based programming which requires a male and female moderator. What is Probation's stance on this matter in relation to the Day Reporting Center? A6. Probation will not require gender-based programming for the DRC. Q7. What are the current caseload numbers? AT Caseload numbers have averaged between 40—50 clients over the last 6 months. Q8. Are 18 to 25 year olds the target population? A8. 18 to 25 year olds are currently the primary age group referred to the Day Reporting Center, but there is no age restriction for program acceptance. 09. Will some clients be on electronic monitoring? Would Probation provide the necessary electronic monitoring equipment? A9. Electronic monitoring is not a component of the Day Reporting Center. However, some probationers may be on electronic monitoring in lieu of custody time as part of their probation terms and conditions. Probation provides the electronic monitoring hardware through another agreement in these instances. Q10. Which vendor provides the electronic monitoring equipment? A70. Correctional Healthcare Co. Inc. (offender funded) and Satellite Tracking of People LLC G:IPUBLICIRFPIFY 2015-16M2-5395 DAY REPORTING FOR ADULT OFFENDER052-5395 ADD 1.DOC Addendum No. One (1) Page 4 Request for Proposal Number: 952-5395 December 4, 2015 Q11. Do the 50 slots encompass all phases of the program? A11. Clients in all phases of the program count towards the 50 slots with the exception of the aftercare component as stated in the RFP, page 21, Relapse Prevention: "Participants in the aftercare program are not part of the 50 contracted slots." Q12. The budget proposal in Attachment D is for 50 slots. Is the Fee Schedule for 60 to 100 slots listed in Attachment C a requirement in our response to the RFP? A 12. Yes Q13. Due to caseload ratios and economies of scale, the incremental breakpoints as listed in Attachment C may not be most beneficial to the Department for optimal cost breaks. Can optional slot breakpoints be proposed? A 13. No, slot breakpoints will remain in increments of 10 as listed in Attachment C. Q14. The bidder is responsible for purchasing furniture and equipment for the program. Is this part of the $400,000 or will there be a separate budget? A 14. The furniture and equipment will be part of the$400,000 Q15. Is there any county furniture that can be utilized for desk,tables, chairs, etc., so that all the bidder needs to buy are computers and phones if it has to come out of the$400,000? A 15. Purchasing furniture from County Surplus is an option Q16. Or can additional funding be allocated for furniture as long as the County maintains ownership of the furniture at the conclusion of the contract? A 16. No, additional funding will not be allocated for furniture Q17. Best practices require mental health assessments to be performed by a licensed clinician. There is not enough in the budget to ensure we hire a person certified for mental health assessments. Can this requirement be satisfied by county personnel, or are there other options? A17. Referring clients in need of a mental health assessment to appropriate personnel at Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health is a viable option, Q18. Which risk/needs assessment is being utilized by Probation and will it automatically be completed on each client? A18. The Static Risk and Offender Needs Guide (STRONG) assessment tool is currently being utilized by Probation and will be completed on each client. Q19. Will the complete results be shared with the provider as part of a referral package so that a comprehensive individualized treatment plan can be completed by the assigned Case Manager? A 19. If the STRONG assessment results are available at the time of referral, they will be included in the referral package. If the assessment has not been completely by the time the referral package is sent to the DRC vendor it will be provided upon completion. G:IPUBLICIRFPIFY 2015-161952.5395 DAY REPORTING FOR ADULT OFFENDERM52-5395 ADD 1.DOC Addendum No. One (1) Page 5 Request for Proposal Number: 952-5395 December 4, 2015 Q20. Minimum hours are listed as M-F 8AM-8PM and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. We believe there should always be a minimum of 2 staff at the site at any given time. Given the budget of $400,000 there is no way to hire enough staff to meet those hours, and have staff complete all the programming and requirements of a Case Manager. Additionally, our experience has shown that most clients do not attend on the weekends and evenings. Would Probation consider beginning the program with limited evening hours (say twice per week until 8PM), and no weekends. As the program grows and becomes more established, if the need is there to expand hours would additional funding be available? A20. Probation would like to leave program hours of operation as listed in the "Hours of Operation"section on page 20 of the RFP. Q21. Is the on-site computer lab to be funded directly by Probation or is that to come out of the $400,000. A21. On-site computer lab will be funded by vendor Q22. What is the minimum number of computers expected in the lab? A22. The minimum number of computers is what the vendor deems necessary to fulfill the needs of their proposed program. Q23. Recognizing that a criminal background check will be completed on all staff, will Probation allow staff who are formerly incarcerated, but who have exemplary records for a period of time like 3-5 years, to be hired? Formerly incarcerated individuals can have a motivating impact on clients in our experience. A23. Formerly incarcerated personnel have been hired in the past, but each case is unique and criminal background evaluations are done on a case by case basis. Q24. Is this an existing program? If so, who is the current provider? A24. Yes, B.1. Incorporated a GEO Reentry Services company. Q25. Will the provider be responsible for arranging and paying for internet access? A25. Yes Q26. Since the provider will be responsible for their phone lines and providing a computer lab, among other responsibilities, will start-up funds be available? A26. No Q27. On page 23 of the RFP it states that the funding is $400,000 for 50 slots and that the vendor is to submit monthly invoices for 1112 of that amount, i.e., $33,333.33. Will the vendor be paid 1112 of $400,000 every month even if there were less than 50 participants in the program in a given month? There was discussion at the vendor conference yesterday that the census has been 40- 50 for the past six months so that raises the question of whether the vendor is still getting paid for the full 50 slots. A27. Yes, the vendor will be paid 1112 of$400,000, i.e. $33,333.33, every month even if the number of slots falls below 50. Q28. If we proposed a program with 70 slots at$600,000, would the invoicing work the same way, i.e., would we get paid each month for 1112 of$600,000 ($50,000) even if there were fewer than 70 participants in a given month? A28. Invoicing would work the same way. If Probation sees a need to increase the number of slots above 50, Probation will provide the vendor a 30 day notice of its intent to do so and the annual amount and monthly invoices (1112 of annual amount) will respectively correspond with the proposed costs provided by the vendor in Attachment C—Fee Schedule of the RFP. For example, if Probation notifies G:TUBLICIRFPIFY 2015-1052-5395 DAY REPORTING FOR ADULT OFFENDERSA52-5395 ADD 1.DOC Addendum No. One (1) Page 6 Request for Proposal Number. 952-5395 December 4, 2015 vendor that it wishes to increase the program slots to 70 and the vendor proposed that the annual cost to operate 70 slots is$600,000, the vendor would invoice 1112 of that amount($50,000)monthly until Probation gives a 30 day notice of a change in program slot numbers. Q29. The program hours required under the RFP (68 hours per week)will dictate that ANY responder spend the majority of the program funds on staffing. For example, if a vendor were to pay a Living Wage to each employee of$21.98(1 Adult, 1 Child as reported for Fresno County by the Living Wage Calculator, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014), approximately $300,000 a year would be absorbed by staffing costs. While a vendor may choose to pay lower wages, lower rates would be problematic for attracting and retaining staff that have the appropriate experience and education. Without qualified staff, the center becomes little more than a check-in facility. Because such a large portion of the budget is dedicated to staffing, few funds remain for program services that evidence based practices has found to be important to effecting long term change in clients, such as incentives, food and prosocial activities. In addition, most programs find little utilization of night and weekend hours by the clients. Would the county be open to reducing the program hours so funds can be best utilized by the vendor to bring services and targeted treatment to the clients? A29. Probation would like to leave the program hours as listed in the "Hours of Operation"section on page 20 of the RFP. Q30. Please confirm the new due date for RFP responses. A30. Monday December 28, 2015 at 2pm Q31. Please confirm that all telecom and internet will be the vendor's responsibility. A31. Yes, all telecom and internet will be vendor's responsibility. Q32. Mental Health Assessments - Please confirm that mental health assessments, while required by bid, will be performed by County mental health staff. A32. Referring clients in need of a mental health assessment out to appropriate personnel at Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health is a viable option. Q33. Risk I Needs Assessments—It is our understanding that the County currently uses the STRONG risk I needs assessment system. Please confirm which is correct: (a)the County will perform the risk I needs assessment and provide needs assessment results to vendor? or(b)will the vendor process the risk I needs assessments directly? If selection (b) is correct,will vendor have access to the County's STRONG system to run the needs assessment or does the vendor have to purchase the system directly? A33. County will perform the STRONG risk/needs assessment and will provide the results to the vendor. Q34. Hours of Operations-Please confirm which is correct: (a)the Day Reporting Center will operate seven (7) days a week with extended hours as proposed by vendor or(b)does the County have specific hours it wants the DRC available? If so, what are the specific hours? A34. As stated in RFP on page 20, "Hours of Operation": The minimum hours of operation will be Monday— Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. as well as a minimum of 4 hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays. Interested vendors shall confirm agreement to these requirements and provide the proposed hours of operation for weekends. Q35. Current Staffing -How many staff does the current vendor have in place? A35. The current vendor has four(4) full-time staff and two (2)part-time staff at this time. G:IPUBLI0RFRFY 2015-161952-5395 DAY REPORTING FOR ADULT OFFENDERS1952-5395 ADD 1.00C Addendum No. One (1) Page 7 Request for Proposal Number: 952-5395 December 4, 2015 Q36, Staffing Qualifications -What qualifications does the County require for all personnel assigned to this DRC? A36. This is at the discretion of the vendor with the exception of the Programming section on page 20 of RFP., "Staff providing direct services will meet minimum state certification requirements for each specific discipline, i.e., substance abuse counseling, family and parenting counseling, and mental health assessment." Q37. Staffing and Operational Allowances -Please confirm the County's limits to vendors on what percentages can be used for staffing and operations allowances l expenses in regards to the budget plan. A37. if vendor is a non-profit organization, vendor should refer to the percentages listed in Administrative Policy No. 5 provided at the beginning of this addendum. If vendor is a for-profit organization, it is at the bidder's discretion regarding what percentages should be used for staffing and operational allowances and expenses. The overall proposal including staffing and operational costs will be reviewed by the Selection Committee in its evaluation and recommendation to the Board of Supervisions. Q38. Food service -Does the current vendor provide any snacks or refreshments at the DRC? If not, does the County want this service offered to DRC participants? A38. Snacks and refreshments are not a required component, but current vendor does provide them. Q39. Bus fare- Does the current vendor provide bus passes or tokens to the probationers? If so, how much per month? A39. Yes, the current vendor provides approximately 550 bus passes and tokens per month. Q40. Drug Testing - Please confirm if lab confirmations are required for all tests regardless of results or if only for non-negative results. A40. Lab confirmations are required on non-negative results only. Q41. Domestic Violence Classes-Are Domestic Violence classes required as part of provision of DRC services? If so, please define the requirements for the DV classes. A41. Domestic violence would not be a required component as Probation utilizes certified Batterer Intervention Programs that are already in place for domestic violence cases. Q42. Electronic Monitoring—It is our understanding that all electronic monitoring is to be provided by the current County vendor. Please confirm whether or not other related monitoring services commonly used in DRC operations, such as transdermal or breath alcohol testing,will be provided by the existing EM vendor or be a requirement of the DRC vendor. A42. Other related monitoring services will be a requirement of the DRC vendor. Q43. Please clarify whether or not vendors are to provide three(3)years of Audited Financials with our proposal submission. (RFP page 19, "Audited Financial Statements") A43. RFP page 19, Audited Financial Statements states that"This information is to be provided after the RFP closes, if requested. Do not provide with your proposal."

Incorporated (BI) is pleased to submit our formal response to the County of Fresno's Request for Proposal (RFP) for Day Reporting for Adult Offenders. BI is honored to have the opportunity to support the County in its goals of addressing criminogenic needs and decreasing criminal recidivism through the use of evidence based programming and services. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC has been providing intensive case management, substance abuse treatment, and cognitive behavioral programming to adult offenders since 2011—services proven to promote offender success, and reduce criminal activity and.recidivism. To build on the success of this program and to better serve the needs of DRC participants, 131 is proposing to enhance employment services by adding a dedicated employment coordinator. This will allow us to provide more one-on-one employment assistance to participants, increase outreach to employers in the community and drive more job placements. BI is committed to ensuring that our Fresno County DRC services are high quality and delivered with fidelity to the research. To that end, our proposal provides for a certified external auditor to conduct a Correctional Program Checklist evaluation of the program. This evaluation will allow both Fresno County and BI to examine how closely the DRC services are aligning to evidence-based practices and provide valuable feedback on how the program can be improved. BI has an established reputation for providing structured programs with measurable outcomes, reduced recidivism, and successful reentry for offenders. This reputation is built upon years of nationwide program experience—including 18 DRC facilities within the State of California—that practice resear-ch-based— programming and produce both economic and programmatic benefits. We provide a robust program infrastructure to customers including full-time training and research departments as well as an automated case management system. Our tenured staff are highly trained in engagement approaches and strategies to address criminogenic needs using evidence-based principles; advocate with local law enforcement and community resources. and work side-by-side with Probation. I am authorized to make representations for and bind the corporation, and can also serve as the County's point of contact regarding this proposal. I am authorized to conduct contract negotiations and sign a resulting contract. We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with Fresno County and to accomplishing the goals set forth in the RFP.

Vendor Company Data, Section A, asks Bidders to include a narrative that demonstrates the vendor's basic familiarity or experience with potential problems associated with this service/project. Based on more than two decades of experience providing community-based reentry services to approximately 4,000 participants on a daily basis in over 90 residential and non-residential reentry programs nationwide—we have found that key factors in achieving positive outcomes are successful participant program completions and positive participant-staff relationships. Program Completions Reduce Recidivism. An internal analysis conducted of the BI-operated Fresno County DRC established that participants who successfully completed programming had significantly lower recidivism (945/o) than a similar group of probationers who did not receive services (42%). Recidivism was defined as new felony or misdemeanor charges during an 18 month period following the participants-dissharge-fr_om_the-program. Appropriate statistical tests were used to compare the groups; and multivariate analysis was used to determine factors associated with recidivism. Positive Participant-Staff Relationships Reduce Recidivism Research shows that the relationship between the participant and the Case Manager—and Participants that graduate from DRC programs have other program staff—has a significant impact markedly better outcomes than those who do not. on the reduction of recidivism Recognizing this, our DRC staff engage with participants using Core Correctional Practices and Motivational Interviewing (MI). We thoroughly assess criminogenic needs using validated risk/ need assessment tools and create customized behavior change plans (BCPs) that help maintain participant interest and foster the belief that life can get better—that positive outcomes can be achieved. Connecting with participants in a real and meaningful way starts and ends with the Case Manager. Compassionate, thoughtful, and respectful BI Case Managers provide cognitive behavioral-based interventions, connect participants to services in the community, and hold participants accountable.

Our DRC staff are trained to use MI to help participants take an active role in their treatment. This method of communication is designed to decrease offender resistance to change, and to increase the cognitive skills needed to achieve positive change. MI uses open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflective listening to encourage participants to discover goals and explore solutions, such as: • "How ready are you to change the behaviors that led to illegal acts?" • "How can we work together to make those changes?" • "What do you think might be difficult about doing this?" • "What might make it easier for you?" • "What kinds of interventions have worked for you in the past? Research strongly suggests that MI techniques, rather than persuasion tactics, effectively enhance motivation for initiating and maintaining behavior changes.' Building rapport and developing a therapeutic relationship based on trust is an important aspect of participant engagement. In addition, the use of appropriate rewards for positive behavior and sanctions when expectations are not met, have been shown to result in longer stays in treatment and a greater likelihood of successful completion of the program. Our DRC staff utilize these behavior modification techniques to increase the probability of long term participant success in the community. This includes reduced recidivism, increased employment rates, healthier relationships, and ongoing sobriety. again.Our Fresno County DRC participants validate the importance of positive participant-sfaff relationships time-and-time part of the program positivemost 7W staff doesn't just see who we and accordhV,to our riles" "For me it would be the connection the staff has with the clients," Weeting-with my Case— '7fit wasn't for jthe staff)and the respect they have Manager and knowing that 1 ant not just a statistic." for us, this whole program would be a failure" "I think having one on rxi<e meetings with my Case Manager i C The positive environment help has helped me Also the staff is very understanding and nice f I take my mind off the streets..." even though they know my past."

Napa County, California In 2009, Napa County partnered with BI to open a Community Corrections Service Center(CCSC) to help increase public safety and reduce jail overcrowding, offender recidivism, and long-term costs. Participants progress through a multi-phase program that includes regular reporting to the CCSC, intensive treatment and training, and drug and alcohol testing. Treatment and training includes cognitive behavioral therapy; substance abuse education and treatment; adult basic education and GED preparation; employment skills building; life skills; parent and family classes; anger management; and Aftercare. The population served includes the following: • Approximately 70 community-based probationers, including individuals participating in Aftercare. • 35 inmates participating in the Jail Employment Education Program (JEEP). • 60 pretrial participants under BI supervision. • 10 in-custody participants who will transition to our CCSC program upon release from jail. Merced County, California To alleviate pressure on the overcrowded jail and probation officers supervising large caseloads, Merced County partnered with BI to open a DRC in 2008. We have maintained a strong partnership with the County to help expand the DRC with AB 109 funding. The DRC serves 65 adult chronic offenders daily who require extra supervision, including youthful probationers (18 to 25 years old). Participants progress through a multi-phase program that includes regular reporting to the DRC, intensive cognitive behavioral treatment and training, and drug and alcohol testing. Based on the program-administered Level of Service Inventory—Revised (LSI-R) assessment results, treatment can include Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), employment readiness, substance abuse treatment, life skills training, anger management, parenting skills, and community referrals. Supervision includes daily check-ins, alcohol and drug testing, intensive case management, and computerized data collection. It participants are non-compliant, staff can apply the additional sanctions of a Violator's Track, which includes the option of electronic monitoring. Participants report to the DRC seven days a week when they begin, but as they progress through-the-program and-arhieve-milestones-that-reflect changes in behavior and thinking, they are required to check-in less frequently. To further its recidivism reduction efforts, the County recently expanded its partnership with our company. We helped the County implement three new programs to complement the Merced DRC: • In-Custody Reentry Program. This program focuses on changing criminal thinking as early as possible. Working with both the Probation Department and the Sheriffs Office, our staff provide inmates with life skills programming, behavior change counseling, and post-release resources. Participants may continue their programming at the Merced DRC upon release. • Warrant Reduction Advocacy Program (WRAP). This program is designed to lower the frequency of County court order violations, which in turn helps reduce costly and time-consuming failure to appear in court cases. Our staff work with participants on Appearance Plans to help facilitate compliance with court orders. • Satellite DRC. This program serves high-risk offenders in West Merced County, and our staff provide services and programming similar to the main Merced DRC program.

The DRC serves high-risk realignment probationers. Participants progress through a multi-phase program that includes regular reporting to the DRC, intensive treatment and training, and drug and alcohol testing. Treatment and training includes cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management, parenting, life skills, education, and employment services.

Specifically, Jessica Scharffenberg—BI's Substance Abuse Counselor at the Fresno County DRC—is licensed by the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor. The California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professions (CCAPP) registry currently indicates that the transfer of Ms. Scharffenberg's Nebraska license to that of a California Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor(LAADC) is"In Progress.” We have included copies of the above referenced licenses and a screen shot from the CCAPP website indicating the in progress license transfer in the Attachments, Appendix F section of this proposal document. D. Material Indicative of Capability As material indicative of BI's capability to provide the services described in the County's RFP, we have included letters of reference from Merced County, Napa County, and the New Jersey State Parole Board (NJSPB) in the Attachments, Appendices B, C, and D of this proposal document. Additionally, we have included a Kern County Probation Department study of the BI-operated Kern County DRC in the Attachments, Appendix E section of this proposal document. Furthermore, BI has successfully operated the Fresno County DRC since 2011, and has proven to be a valued partner for many counties throughout California—with positive outcomes such as overall reductions in recidivism rates and increased participant employment. • Merced County, California. In partnership with the Probation Department and the Sheriff's Office, our operations include an in-custody reentry program and community-based DRC programs. In 2009, the DRC program that we operate for the County was singled out by the California State Association of Counties for its success. The average LSI score at intake versus exit established that participants who completed the program benefited by more than a 50% drop in recidivism risk. Further, Merced County Probation conducted a recent analysis on recidivism for DRC participants, and defined recidivism as any conviction or violation of probation within 12, 24, and 36 months of successful program completion. The study revealed an overall recidivism rate of only 26%. • Napa County, California. In partnership with the County and the Department of Corrections, our operations include a Jail Education Employment Program (JEEP), an in-custody reentry program, and a community-based Community Corrections Service Center(CCSC). Program outcomes of the Napa County CCSC have been very strong. The average participant reduced their recidivism risk by 30%;76% of participants had a discharge status of"Successful" during the March to May 2012 period; on average, 91% of participants attended all required groups during the September to November 2012 reporting period; and 74% of participants were employed when they exited the program between September and November 2012. Participant confidence in the program was also very positive; with more than 90% of participants believing they would be successful in the program according to a participant survey. • Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. We partner with this agency for the operation of statewide, community-based reentry facilities that include workforce development programming. In the facility that we operate in York County, our staff maintain working relationships with a local literacy council to help participants obtain their GEDs and work with the community college, where participants can take classes in career tracks such as welding and culinary arts. The program's participant employment rate has never dropped below 65%. 131 Incorporated • One Park Place, Suite 700•621 NW 53r0 Street•Boca Raton, FL 33487 26 Tel: 561.893.0101 •866.301.4436 • Fax: 561.999.7731 •www.bi.com •www.geogroup.conn „IIIII,,,I� Day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a GeO Group Company Fresno County, California • New Jersey State Parole Board. In partnership with this agency, we operate five community- based Community Resource Centers (CRCs). We developed an Intensive Employment Program (IEP) specifically for the CRCs, which has helped the program sustain strong employment rates. During Fiscal Year 2013/2014, 19%of participants were employed/enrolled in school at program intake. At program exit, 41% were employed/enrolled in school. This rate is positively impacted by our staff—who maintain close ties to local communities and businesses, as well as each facility's strong focus on vocational and educational development. Many participants complete/work toward their GED; attend classes with local educational/vocational providers; and achieve/work towards degrees and certifications. • Kern County, California. Kern County Probation recently conducted a study of the BI-operated Kern County DRC, and examined the recidivism rates of three groups: "Graduates,”"Control," and "Participants." The study found that participants at the DRC had both lower recidivism rates and committed less serious crimes when they did recidivate. From November 2010 through September 2013, Kern County DRC graduates had a 30%recidivism rate compared with a 53% rate for the control group. During that same period, the rate of felony cases for all DRC participants was 30% lower than the control group. Documentation of Evidence Based Programs and Practices We provide services and programming in accordance with EBP distilled from "What Works" research. "What Works" is a term commonly used in corrections to refer to the body of research that seeks to answer the question: What works, if anything, to lower the recidivism rates of offenders? Over the years, researchers have found that some programs have no effect—or even negative effects—on recidivism, while other programs achieve significant reductions (25% or more)' in recidivism. By studying the variations in success, "What Works" has concluded that the programs achieving the greatest reductions in recidivism: • Focus on high-risk offenders(those offenders at the highest risk for re-offending) • Target the factors that contribute to criminal behavior(criminogenic risks and needs) • Use cognitive behavioral treatments The National institute of Corrections Community Corrections Division, and the Crime and Justice Institute, issued a report that distills "What Works" into eight interdependent evidence-based principles. These principles help agencies evaluate the effectiveness of their correctional interventions in improving-Gase- outcomes and public safety. The following description outlines how we align our services and programming with the eight principles of effective intervention. ESP #1; Assess Actuarial Risk/Needs. Our company has used validated assessment tools for more than a decade. Our staff are experienced in conducting an assessment for each program participant at intake, and again upon program completion. We have experience with multiple assessment tools, and certified trainers provide instruction to all staff that perform assessments. Furthermore, regular follow-up training ensures fidelity in administering assessments. 7 Wilson,D. B.,Bouffard, L.A.,&MacKenzie,D.L.

We provide nationwide MI training to all our reentry staff. Our training =+y�• .j staff includes certified MI trainers. Our MI training process requires staff to submit taped assessments and other interactions with program participants for critique by an MI trainer. ' SOLL TRAIN WITH EBP #3: Target Interventions (Risk, Need, Responsivity, I Dosage, and Treatment Principles). Using the results of a validated assessment (Risk Principle), our staff create case plans that take into account each of the scores (Need Principle) in order to target each program participant's identified risk and needs. In the case plan, goals and action INTRINSIC MOTIVATION items are prioritized and customized for each participant based on their aptitudes and background (Responsivity Principle). Furthermore, we tailor the amount of assigned programming to each participant's risk/need level (Dosage Principle) in order to most efficiently use resources. Figure 1. ESP Alignment Since the strongest predictors for criminal behavior are B1 aligns our services and programming witlr dynamic factors like anti-social attitudes, anti-social peers, the eight principles of effective intervention. and anti-social personality traits, we use effective interventions and cognitive behavioral approaches that address thinking processes, beliefs, values, and life skills (Treatment Principle). ESP #4: Skill Training with Directed Practice. Cognitive behavioral interventions are based on the assumption that faulty thinking underlies anti-social and criminal behavior, and that such behavior can be replaced by pro-social behavior with appropriate training. Our cognitive behavioral programs attempt to change participants' criminal behavior through cognitive skills training (examining core beliefs)and the use of behavior change techniques like role-playing. Our program model aligns with this important principle through use of homework review, teaching new skills, and helping participants practice new skills. EBP #5: Increase Positive Reinforcement. For each sanction that a BI staff member provides to a participant for non-compliance, our staff work to provide at least four positive reinforcements for compliance and pro-social behavior. Our staff monitor, measure, and report all reinforcements. Each week, our staff report to their Program Manager on the rewards and sanctions given to program pafticipants in order to-evaluate contingency-management and ensure appropriate follow-up. EBP #6: Engage Ongoing Support in Natural Communities. Our programming emphasizes connecting participants to community resources, and our DRC staff understand the importance of involving community service providers in the reintegration efforts of program participants. As part of our Community Connections program, community service providers come to the DRC each month to educate program participants on a number of available resources, such as health services, family services, social services, residential treatment, mental health, domestic violence, legal advocacy, and employment. We also maintain a Get Connected website that provides participants with information on community services in an organized and searchable format. We hear from participants that this exposure to additional resources is invaluable to them. EBP #7: Measure Relevant Processes/Practices. Our alignment to this principle includes both local quality assurance processes to ensure program fidelity, and intermediate outcomes reports to show positive program impact. For quality assurance, the BI Program Manager reviews assessments, case plans, case files, and group facilitations to ensure adherence to EBP and contract requirements. For intermediate outcomes, we measure metrics such as program attendance, changes in assessment scores, and changes in employment, sobriety, housing, and connections to community resources.

We provide performance feedback to our staff through annual program reviews, monthly quality assurance reviews, and intermediate measurement reports. To monitor program processes and practices—and aide in determining program effectiveness—we measure key performance indicators for each program component, and monitor participant progress against case plans. We also use monthly quality assurance reviews, semi-annual and annual program reviews, intermediate outcome reports, participant surveys, third-party evaluations, and staff evaluations to identify which contract requirements are successfully met. We maintain accurate and detailed documentation of all measurement feedback for the duration of the contract, and make this information available to Fresno County. To ensure that we best align our program content and strategies with research findings and EBP, our company establishes and maintains working relationships with industry thought leaders. This has helped us develop the technical expertise and knowledge needed to design and operate programs in accordance with the National Institute of Corrections' eight principles of effective intervention. Additionally, our collaboration with industry leaders and researchers has significantly enhanced many aspects of our programs—including quality assurance processes, curriculum selection, and outcomes measures. Third-party experts also regularly review our programs. E.

Scope of Work In accordance with RFP page 26-27, Xl. Scope of Work, this section of our proposal contains the following information: A. Essence of Proposal B.1 Understanding of Project and Proposal Summary B.2 Scope of Work Specifications C. Reports D. Alternative Solutions A. Essence of Proposal BI proposes to continue providing the County of Fresno with DRC services for a minimum of 50 adult offenders who are 18 to 25 years of age (and older). Our existing DRC program is a comprehensive mix of supervision and treatment specifically designed to affect all of the major criminal risk factors associated with reoffending behavior. It is a multi-dimensional program that"tracks" as well as "treats" each offender in order to influence long-term behavior. A precise combination of supervision and treatment services are implemented for each participant according to a customized, assessment-based plan, and all provided services are coordinated with the participant's Case Manager. BI understands that an effective program is not a random mix of offender services. As such, our day reporting programs are an appropriate blend of targeted supervision and treatment services that incorporate EBP and research-driven interventions. Overall Program Design The research-based development that BI has done over the last 20 years uniquely positions us to address the criminogenic needs of adult and youthful offenders in Fresno County. Our current Fresno County DRC program model provides targeted supervision, case management, and treatment services that adhere to evidence-based principles. Supervision/case management is used to monitor a participant's compliance with program rules and Probation's supervision orders. The provision of evidence-based treatment can significantly reduce criminal behavior in the long-term. BI will provide services to all participants referred by the County, and each participant receives services based on their individually assessed criminogenic needs and risks. BI's DRC model incorporates the eight evidence-based principles for effective interventions. Our phased program design allows participants to make progress at their own pace, as described below: • Participants begin in Phase 1 (Assessment 6 Planning), and should successfully complete the milestones of this phase in 30-45 days. These milestones include intake and orientation; all required screenings and assessments; creation of a BCP; identification of needed community resources; and completion of secondary assessments to measure additional criminogenic needs and obstacles to successful reentry. Participants receive group assignments, and attend one-on- one Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions with their BI Case Manager weekly. • After successful graduation from Phase 1, participants move to Phase 2(Treatment& Accountability). Participants may continue with applicable educational, vocational, and/or employment training including participation in an Employment Readiness Group. Participants attend one-on-one ICBT sessions with their Case Manager bi-weekly. Based on their individually assessed needs, participants also attend treatment groups targeted to reducing identified criminogenic risks and needs. BI refers participants to needed community resources; and as part of the requirements of Phase 2, participants must connect with one of more of those resources.

Before program completion, participants should have stable housing and be employed or actively seeking employment, or be a student with at least nine credit hours at an accredited institution. • Phase 4 (Aftercare) is a key component of Bl's DRC programming model, since it addresses critical needs as participants move into independent living. Aftercare services include pro-social family and community support; relapse prevention activities; pro-social cognitive decision-making; education and employment assistance; and continued alcohol and drug testing.

Each participant works closely with their assigned BI Case Manager. Case Managers meet one-on-one with participants on a regular basis in order to review and update the participant's BCP. Case management services include: • Starting Point. Upon program enrollment, participants complete an intake package. This includes personal contact information; DRC program rules and guidelines; any legal agreements and releases; and initial participant history. BI staff also conduct a basic needs assessment, and then help participants find resources to meet needs for food, shelter, clothing, etc. • Orientation. Participants are introduced to the concept of change; program questions and concerns are addressed by DRC staff; and program expectations are set. • Assessments. The STRONG risk and needs assessment, substance abuse, employment, education, and other applicable specialized assessments can all be administered by DRC staff to best determine each participant's needs. • Behavior Change Plan. Based on assessment results, the BCP includes individual participant goals and is adjusted to reflect participant progress through program. • Community Referrals. BI DRC programs establish connections with local community providers in order to refer participants for needed services such as housing, clothing, medical care, or mental health services. • Contingency Management. This treatment approach rewards participants for pro-social actions by reinforcing small steps, especially at the beginning of treatment. Rewards include recognition and small gift cards for achieving milestones. For larger milestones such as perfect attendance over the course of month, drawings for larger rewards like a bike or DVD player may be used. Assessment BI staff uses validated assessment tools to identify each participant's greatest criminogenic risks/needs; to focus resources, interventions, and service delivery in accordance with identified needs; and to help ensure that participants receive services at an appropriate dosage/frequency. To further determine each participant's needs, BI staff currently utilizes the following assessment tools at the Fresno County DRC: • Static Risk and Offender Needs Guide (STRONG) administered by either County or DRC staff. • American Society of Addiction Medicine(ASAM) • Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment(LEST) to assess participant motivation, readiness for treatment, psychological and social functioning, and treatment engagement. • Mental Health Screening in order to refer participants to appropriate mental health service providers as needed. Upon award of a new contract under this RFP, BI proposes to incorporate the following additional assessments: • Texas Christian University Drug Screen (TCU-DS) for substance abuse needs • Criminal Thinking Scale (CTS) to help measure changes in criminal thinking BI makes all assessment results available to Probation. 81 Incorporated • One Park Place, Suite 700•621 NW 53i6 Street-Boca Raton, FL 33487 35 Tel: 561.093.0101 .066,301.4436-Fax: 561.999.7731 -www.bi.com •www.geogroup.corn M1111111111' Day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a GGO Group Company Fresno County,California Supervision Supervision creates consistent structure and boundaries for participants, and is necessary to control offender behavior in the short-term. BI's first priority is public safety, and we have extensive experience developing DRC policies and procedures around offender supervision. BI works closely with Fresno County Probation and supervising officers to ensure the DRC's provision of appropriate supervision and responses. DRC supervision services include: • Check4ns. Each time a participant arrives at the DRC, they first report to the BI Client Services Specialist, who records the date and time of every check-in. As the participant successfully progress through the program, the amount of required check-ins per week decreases. • Alcohol & Drug Testing. Each time a participant checks in, the Client Services Specialist administers a breathalyzer test. Participants are also subject to random drug tests. The administration and results of all tests are recorded and reported. As the participant successfully progresses through the program, the amount of required drug tests also decreases. • Reporting. DRC staff investigate and verify possible violations such as not checking in, not attending group, and positive drug tests. Staff document their actions and notify Probation by at least the next business day. If a staff member has concerns for public safety, they notify Probation with a phone call as quickly as possible. • Administrative Sanctions. For minor non-compliances, participants may be required to report in person to the DRC on days they are not otherwise scheduled for programming. Increased sanctions could also include meeting with the participant's family or support group; assigning extra cognitive skills exercises or groups; or community service. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) Decades of corrections research have shown that cognitive-behavioral treatments are the most cost- effective use of resources to reduce recidivism. In addition to offering cognitive skills training groups, we strive to include cognitive-behavioral strategies in every aspect of our DRC program. Our staff also model pro-social behavior in all participant interactions. For example, we address participants as"Mr." or "Ms." rather than by first names, and our group model includes extensive use of role playing to teach participants new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing (MI). BI also Youretordan incorporates cognitive-behavioral strategies in all Miwlzl°n participant interactions through the use of MI. This is a communication style that avoids confrontation and arguing. It uses open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflective listening to encourage participants to discover goals and explore - _ + solutions.

BI staff record the interaction and send a tape of the interaction to an outside trainer. The trainer grades the taped interaction in accordance with MI Treatment Integrity standards and provides feedback. BI staff then work closely with program management and other subject matter experts within the company to address any identified weaknesses regarding their delivery of MI. The rigorous process of refining MI skills and achieving proficiency generally takes several months from the first taped submission. Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT). Participants meet with their Case Manager for ICBT sessions throughout each phase of the program. These sessions include a participant case management report, where the participant updates the Case Manager with any change in status and the Case Manager discusses any violations with the participant. If there are any red Flags, the Case Manager deals with those immediately. The Case Manager and participant also review the BCP goals and action steps, evaluate the participant's progress, and make any adjustments to the BCP. • Outcome Rating Scale (ORS). During each ICBT session, the participant completes an ORS. This self-report instrument gives BI Case Managers an indication of the participant's individual functioning, interpersonal relationships, and social role performance in areas such as work adjustment. We use ORS results to monitor progress-, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment; determine any need for further treatment-, and to investigate any lack of progress. • Carey Guides. During ICBT sessions, BI Case Managers also use Carey Guides. Developed by the Carey Group, Carey Carey Guides translate EBP into a series of strategies and short exercises called "15 Minute Tools." One set of Carey ��■� Group Guides provides case management tools to address specific _�.r Publishing issues— such as involving families. The other set addresses criminogenic needs-- such as anti-social thinking or emotional regulation. Both sets provide brief, practical exercises that help offenders learn the skills needed to make positive changes. Carey Guides are geared toward offenders who are not highly motivated to change. They are also specifically designed for use in one-on-one sessions between corrections professionals and offenders. • Session Rating Scale (SRS). At the end of each ICBT session, the BI Case Manager asks participants to complete an SRS. The SRS assesses the relational bond between participant and Case Manager, as well as their level of agreement on goals, methods, and the overall treatment approach. It helps the Case Manager ensure that the participant is engaged in programming and that services are responsive to the participant. During each ICBT session, the BI Case Manager also-reviews and-discusses the participant's response for the-qaestT="Whatis-on thin-gyou learned this week in the program?" Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). BI utilizes Thinking for a Change (T4C) to provide CBT in a group setting. Our staff deliver T4C in open-ended groups. This gives us the flexibility to accommodate new participants at any point in the T4C process. BI worked closely with criminal justice thought-leaders and trainers to modify our delivery of T4C so that groups function in an open ended format. We also modified the DRC's 01►k - - program phases so participant completion of each phase is based on �. r behavior, skill development, and curriculum steps. r T4C is designed to help offenders change behavior by changing their thinking. T4C stresses interpersonal communication development and confronts thought patterns that can lead to problematic behaviors.

These lessons provide a thorough process for self-reflection. Lessons are concentrated on uncovering anti-social thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. • Social Skills. These lessons help participants engage in pro-social interactions. Lessons are based on self-understanding and an awareness of the impact that actions have on others. • Problem Solving Skills. integrating the two other components, these lessons provide a step-by- step process for addressing challenges and stressful situations. T4C is considered to be evidence-based, as it is supported by rigorous evaluations that demonstrate a 30% and greater reduction in recidivism for offenders who completed the program. B.2 Scope of Work Specifications RFP Section A Scope of Work: B.2 instructs that this section of the Bidder's proposal should be stated in the same order as the RFP Scope of Work items: and that each description should begin with a restatement of the Scope of Work item that it is addressing. The County of Fresno on behalf of the Probation Department is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to operate a Day Reporting Center for adult offenders. The target age group is 18 to 25 years of age; however, older offenders may be considered for the program based upon the success rate as defined in Senate Bill 678. The County reserves the sole right to set the target population parameters. The Day Reporting Center(DRC) shall maintain a minimum of fifty(50) slots for adult offenders that are on felony probation in lieu of prison and provide individualized evidence-based programming to them. It is possible the program could expand in increments of 10 slots up to 100 slots. The proposed program shall be six (6) months in length, starting with an intensive first phase and gradually lessening in intensity in subsequent phases. An aftercare program is also desired.

BI agrees to continue to utilize the County provided space at 2212 N. Winery Avenue, Suite 122, in Fresno (or compatible alternate space) for the operation of the DRC. We understand that the DRC shares a suite with Probation's Drug Suppression Unit, and we welcome the opportunity to continue working in such close proximity to Probation. We strive to have excellent relationships with all County and Probation personnel who come in contact with the Fresno County DRC program. Our staff has already established positive, beneficial working relationships with Probation, local law enforcement and other relevant corrections agencies and we look forward to continuing to expand upon these positive partnerships. During all hours of the DRC's operation, at least two Bi staff members are present within the DRC facility. All BI DRC staff are trained to provide appropriate security measures for all our staff and program participants. Hours of Operation The DRC shall be able to provide monitoring and treatment services seven (7) days a week, excluding County holidays (New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents'Day, Caesar Chavez Day; Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day), with office hours that can accommodate the work schedules of the clientele. The minimum hours of operation will be Monday— Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. as well as a minimum of 4 hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays. Interested vendors shall confirm agreement to these requirements and provide the proposed hours of operation for weekends. BI has operated the existing Fresno County DRC seven days per week, excluding County holidays, for the duration of the contract—without any major incidents and/or service interruptions. Our current hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and would remain so if awarded a new contract from this RFP. Programming DRC programming shall include but not be limited to: daily check-ins, random drug testing,job skills training/placement, substance abuse counseling, anger management, family and parenting counseling, educational services/GED, life skills, relapse prevention. and mental health assessment, Staff providing direct services will meet minimum state certification requirements for each specific discipline. i.e., substance abuse counseling, family and parenting counseling, and mental health assessmenl. Programming provided at the DRC must use evidence-based cognitive behavior therapies, addressing criminogenic needs and be designed to reduce recidivism. Respondents to the RFP must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of these concepts. loterested vendors responding to the RFP shall propose the curriculum and programming to be provided in the DRC and shall provide detailed information on the curriculum and programming proposed. The County reserves the right to negotiate curriculum and programming selection. The vendor shall have an individualized case plan for each program participant based on the Risk Assessment provided by the Probation Department. BI understands that the County is committed to continued utilization of the STRONG assessment tool in the awarded DRC program. Using assessment results, BI Case Managers work in partnership with participants to create an individualized BCP that targets the participant's identified criminogenic risks and needs. The BCP takes into account the STRONG scores that represent the greatest areas of participant risk/need, and allows staff to assign the most effective treatment and training services for risk reduction to each individual participant.

Behavioral goals (for example, "Achieve and Maintain Sobriety") are stated in positive and supportive language using the acronym SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, and Realistic with an appropriate Timeframe). Responsivity factors are identified barriers that may prevent the participant from achieving stated goals, or strengths that can support the participant's successful achievement. Action items that will assist the participant in attaining their behavioral goals are also identified. Since BCPs are created in partnership with the participant, participants become much more invested in achieving the stated goals. As the participant moves through the program, DRC Case Managers meet weekly with assigned participants to review progress and address any obstacles. Each participant's BCP is appropriately updated on a monthly basis. For example, the Case Manager reviews identified action items and documents each as"Completed" or as "Continued," with a new time frame set for further review and updates. In addition, Case Managers work and coordinate with Probation staff, and any other agencies or organizations involved in the supervision and treatment of a participant. In order to further assist each participant's reintegration efforts at a local level, Case Managers are also trained to refer participants to support systems within the community if necessary. Please see the Attachments, Appendix A section of this proposal document for a sample BCP. Programming Components: Daily Check-ins Vendor shall have the ability to provide daily check-ins. Actual check-ins will depend on participant progress within the program as determined by the vendor. Initial daily check-ins will be in person. Vendor shall describe in detail, in the Response to RFP. the initial as well as the progression of the check-in process. Participants typically report in person to the DRC seven days per week in Phase 1, five days per week in Phase 2, three days per week in Phase 3, and once per week in Aftercare. BI DRC staff work closely with Probation to adjust the frequency of check-ins for an individual participant as needed. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC maintains hours of operation that allow participants with the highest risk levels to check-in to the DRC as often as seven days a week. Daily check-ins are especially important in the beginning stages of DRC programming—as new participants are often confused, overwhelmed, angry, and/or defensive. One of the most common times for a participant to stop attending programming is between the first and second appointments. Therefore daily check-ins are a key component of participant engagement. Our experience has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy and other programming services yield the best results when accompanied by regular check-ins with program staff. BI DRC staff use our GEOtrack case management system to electronically record the time and date of each check-in. The GEOtrack system helps DRC staff perform daily attendance tracking and provide daily notifications to Probation for any participants who fail to attend the program as scheduled. BI DRC staff meet regularly with Probation to discuss cases and further aid each participant's likelihood for success. Random Drug Testing Random drug testing shall include at a minimum both urine and breathalyzer testing. The vendor may propose additional types of testing. Vendor shall describe in detail the random drug testing plan/procedure. The description should include the frequency of random drug tests for each program phase and how positive tests will be handled. including what type of sanctions/treatment plan modifications will be done to address positive tests.

For safety reasons, and to ensure a therapeutic environment, BI requires that all participants take a breath alcohol test every time they report to the DRC (for a check-in, group, meeting with Case Manager, etc.). If a test is positive for alcohol: • BI DRC staff promptly notify a pre-designated Probation contact, and immediately take steps to ensure the safely of the participant and the community • No further participant activity in terms of group or program participation is permitted for the day • If the alcohol level is high enough, the participant may be sent to a detoxification facility • If the participant is legally impaired, DRC staff instruct the participant not to drive, and contact local law enforcement should the participant refuse to follow instruction DRC staff record the administration and results of all alcohol tests in our web-based GEOtrack case management system. If a participant refuses to provide a breath sample, that fact is also documented and reported; and the participant is also not permitted to participate in any DRC services for the day. Drug Testing. Participants are subject to observed, random drug tests. Participants typically take a drug screen once per week in Phase 1, once every two weeks during Phase 2, and monthly through Phase 3 and Aftercare. However, BI maintains flexibility in this area, and our DRC staff work with Probation to adjust testing frequencies for each individual participant.as needed. For random drug testing, participants are assigned a specific color during intake. DRC staff enter the participant's assigned color into the GEOtrack system, and the system automatically generates colors for the DRC on a daily basis. Each time a participant checks-in to the DRC, they are responsible for asking DRC staff if they are required to take a drug screen. If their assigned color is called by the system that day, then they must submit to a drug test. DRC staff can also conduct a drug test at any time at the request of Probation, or upon reasonable suspicion of substance use. DRC staff record the administration and results of all drug tests in GEOtrack. If a participant refuses to provide a urine sample, that fact is also documented and reported. If the drug test detects an illicit substance, DRC staff promptly notify the designated Probation contact. Program consequences for a positive drug tests can include: • Increased.check-ins-to the DRC • Increased face-to-face meetings with the BI Case Manager and/or Probation staffings • Increased attendance at support group meetings • Substance abuse assessment for detox or inpatient treatment • Increased treatment programming Job Skills Training/Placement Vendor shall describe in detail their proposed job skills training/placement programming.

Furthermore, since the offender population is often deficient in both "hard" skills (basic math, reading, computer literacy, etc.) and "soft" skills (self-control, communication, etc.), the DRC must provide training in these areas. Bl's employment services are designed to provide a full range of skills necessary for long-term employment and self-sufficiency rather than merely focusing on short-term job placements. To accomplish this, BI uses multiple evidence-based interventions to provide a comprehensive programming milieu designed to engage participants through cognitive behavioral groups, computer-based activities, and one-on-one interactions. Employment Preparation BI DRC staff are dedicated to training and coaching participants in vocational skills. We recognize that many participants lack the basic knowledge of the employment process: how to dress, how to act, how to fill out an application, how to apply online, etc. Our employment services teach participants how to be proactive in pursuing employment. • General Presentation and Demeanor. Many participants do not know how to prepare for and complete an interview. DRC staff teach them how to dress for success, such as teaching them how to tie a tie or how to purposefully shake an employer's hand and introduce themselves. • Effective Communication. The KeyTrain curriculum offers a Career Skills curriculum of over 200 lessons, which teaches "soft"workplace skills such as clear communication, work habits, business ethics, customer service, and on-the-job etiquette. Career Skills helps users renew and expand skills they may already have, learn new skills, and express these skills in typical job situations. • Job Coaching. A BI Case Manager or BI Education/Employment Coordinator works individually with participants on problem solving employment-related issues. Coaching centers on the participant's specific needs and addresses obstacles to obtaining and maintaining employment. In accordance with the participant's Employment Plan, the Case Manager/EEC tracks job searches, assigns action items, and maintains a job log that is updated weekly. In addition to conducting ongoing coaching sessions, the Case Manager/EEC also utilizes role play to assist participants in understanding job expectations. Job Search Strategies BI staff conducts the Employment Readiness group which uses the research-proven practices of structuredlexpr-essive-writing,—eogni4ve-behavioral intewentions,-and MI prineiples. Workbooks focus on what tools participants find useful, and which tools best motivate and guide the individual toward meaningful application of the information presented. By exploring their willingness to learn, understanding their areas of interest and evaluating their skill sets, participants prepare for the application and interviewing process. The BI Education/Employment Coordinator also conducts employment assessments with each participant. An Education/Employment Coordinator will lead the group and take participants through problem solving on employment-related issues, including completing applications, writing resumes, mock interviewing, networking, and job hunting. During these intensive employment readiness sessions, participants are assisted in identifying career possibilities for which they have the appropriate aptitudes and interest. Employment Assessments. Within seven days of a participant's referral to the DRC, the BI Education / Employment Coordinator administers employment assessments. We propose to use the WorkKeys Fit Assessment and the WorkKeys Talent Assessment to determine the participant's employability traits, strengths, interests, aptitude, and areas for improvement at the time of referral. These assessments will complement the computer-based WorkKeys programming that is offered as part of the DRC's education/employment programming.

A Our Education/Employment Coordinator will be fully trained on how to properly interpret the results of our proposed vocational assessments. Based on these results, the Education/Employment Coordinator creates an individual Employment Plan for the participant and documents participant progress on all identified goals. In order to help address gender specific issues/needs as they relate to employability, the Education/Employment Coordinator works with participants regarding topics such as childcare responsibilities, current home situation, history/current experience with abuse, etc. Our Education/ Employment Coordinator also works closely with each participant's assigned BI Case Manager to ensure that the results of the participant's risk/needs assessment are fully considered and integrated within the participant's Employment Plan. Employment Readiness. The Employment Readiness group uses the"Tools for Success: Employment Skills"workbook from The Change Companies. This workbook helps participants understand the process of planning for a career. By exploring their willingness to learn, understanding their areas of interest, and evaluating their skill sets, participants prepare for the application and interviewing process. Group Exercises include mock interviews where participants practice learned skills and give and receive constructive feedback to improve their skills and those of their_peers- Other-group-activities-include-resume preparation, business etiquette and problem-solving skills. Groups are structured to follow EBP. Upon entering the program, participants attend the group four times in a single week, with each session lasting 2.5 hours. This initial high dosage is designed to provide participants with fundamental job skills so they can immediately begin seeking employment_ Job Placement The BI Education/Employment,Coordinator actively searches for local employers that are willing to hire DRC participants, and maintains a directory to share with participants. The participant, based on their assessments and individual set of job skills, decides on which places to apply. This encourages self- sufficiency in participants and builds confidence. In many of our current DRCs, unemployed/underemployed participants attend on-site Employment Readiness groups and the participant employment rate exceeds 65%.

This curriculum contains approximately 60 hours of training on the following skills and traits, each which have been shown to be integral for managerial positions: • Working in Teams— How to be an effective team member. • Customer Service— How to connect with customers and provide the best service. • Work Discipline— How to conduct oneself on the job and be an effective employee. • Interpersonal and Business Communication— How to have productive conversations; how to interact in groups and one-on-one; how to conduct presentations. • Problem Solving and Critical Thinking— How to address problems; how to think critically and analytically: how to make good conclusions and decisions. Each course in the Career Ready 101 curriculum includes a short quiz on the topics covered, and a final quiz on the overall course. Final quizzes assess the participant's cognitive understanding and the behavioral choices they make in realistic workplace situations. Additionally, each of the skills and traits covered in the Career Ready 101 courses correlate to specific domains that are assessed by the BI- administered WorkKeys Talent assessment. KeyTrain/WorkKeys. KeyTrain is a comprehensive system that helps participants improve the basic workplace skills measured by the WorkKeys Assessment System. Participants work towards taking the WorkKeys test and earning The WorkKeys Work Ready certificate. This certificate is a portable credential recognized by employers nationwide, and it validates that a person has essential skills important to a wide range of jobs. Substance Abuse Counseling/Programming Programming provided must be evidence-based and designed to reduce recidivism. Lower level alcohol and drug services such as education; prevention, and early intervention services (based�on ASAM criteria), shall be provided at the DRC. Intensive outpatient programming will also be offered as determined by the Risk Assessment. Vendors shall describe in detail how they will serve clients that may need alcohol and drug intervention (at all treatment levels. except residential). BI proposes to offer two levels of substance abuse treatment at the DRC: Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment (OSAT) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

At the time of intake participants will have received a Static Risk Offender Needs Guide (STRONG)assessment and a Texas Christian University Drug Screen (TCU-DS) in order to identify any substance abuse problems. If a participant scores moderate to high on the STRONG or TCU-DS assessments for substance abuse, DRC staff also conduct the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessment to determine a participant's severity of addiction as well as the appropriate level of care. Level of Care. DRC staff use information provided by the County including criminal history, urine analysis (UA) history, participant interview/assessment statements, and the STRONGfTCU-DS assessments to design a customized substance abuse intervention. Substance abuse treatment and intervention is proactive and based on assessed need rather than reactive based on positive UAs, and is not based on voluntary participation by the offender. Table 2.

This substance abuse curriculum is on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Registry of Evidence- Based Programs and Practices; and meets DSM-5 Classifications. The LIB program was developed by Jeffrey A. Hoffman, PhD, Mini Landry, and Barry D. Caudill, PhD as a manual-based, comprehensive treatment program, which emphasizes relapse prevention. LIB can be delivered in an individual and group setting, consisting of 1.5 to 2 hour sessions. Participants are challenged to tackle issues in their life that may not have been addressed during their time of addiction, and are achieved through relaxation exercises, role-play, discussions, and workbook assignments. The sessions are designed to enhance the participant's level of functioning in those key life areas that are often neglected with prolonged substance abuse, such as physical, emotional, and social well-being, adult education opportunities, vocational development, daily living skills, spirituality/recovery, and sexuality. Participants can begin treatment at any stage of treatment as the program provides flexibility.

Identifying and understanding these issues helps participants make better decisions about alcohol and drugs. The BI Substance Abuse Counselor emphasizes that participants have choices about how they behave, and that they are not powerless over habitual patterns and impulsive decision-making. IOP helps participants develop and implement relapse prevention strategies, with the goal of reducing the participant's likelihood of relapse. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC also offers relapse prevention programming in Aftercare. If a DRC participant requires a residential, medical, and/or mental health component in their substance abuse programming, BI DRC staff work closely with Probation in order to refer the participant to a qualified local service provider(s) as needed. Anger Management Vendor shall describe in detail proposed evidence-based programming to assist in reducing and redirecting stress and tension which result in aggressive behaviors. The focus shall be on the causes of anger and providing alternatives to violent outbursts and abusive behavior through educational lessons that challenge inappropriate ways of expressing anger and techniques to dissipate anger before it gets out of control. BI utilizes the Phoenix/New Freedom Resources Anger, Aggression, and Violence Program Model. This evidence-based Anger Management curriculum was developed from cognitive-behavioral change, social learning, risk/protective factors management, asset/strength building, and relapse prevention models. The curriculum uses the proven-effective strategies of skill building for aggression replacement and role- playing. It has also been designed to actively support the MI approach in guiding participants through the stages of change. Reading levels range from grade 4—6, depending on the subject matter. BI selected this curriculum for anger management because it has generated significant outcomes and is recognized as being evidence-based. It also emphasizes skill building, role playing, MI, and key elements of effective interventions. The curriculum's materials include: • Lesson plans with behaviorally-stated objectives. • Stage-based aggression-specific MI Toolkits • Discussion Starter/Group Opening Activities • Workbook and Skills based resources • Competency checklists to evaluate participant's progress The curriculum is open cycle allowing new participants to be added at any time. Each session contains a combination of resource elements: a session opener(discussion starter focusing on aggression and violence issues), a MI program element, anger core program resource, skill modeling and skills practice element, a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)aggression/violence program element, and an anger/aggression/ violence skills program element. • These elements are structured to maintain interest and build confidence in making cognitive and behavioral changes. The Phoenix/New Freedom resources are recognized as evidence-based by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention/National Gang Center/Bureau of Justice Assistance/U.S. Department of Justice- Their curriculums are provided to nearly 2.000 programs and facilities in 49 states (including 50 BI Incorporated - One Park Place, Suite 700• 621 NW 53r0 Street• Boca Raton,FL 33487 47 Tel:661.893.0101 •866.301.4436- Fax: 561.999.7731 •www.bi.com •www.geogroup.com 3111111111111 Day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a GGO Group Company Fresno County, California Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities) and have been implemented statewide in several states. Results include: • Riker's Island facility in New York City uses Phoenix/New Freedom materials in two programs: A Road Not Taken (substance abuse)and Beyond the Bridge (mental health). In the year following introduction of A Road Not Taken, drug court judges began to note that inmates who completed the program were not being re-arrested as frequently as those who did not receive the programming. As a result, the program was officially partnered with the drug courts, and judges began sentencing offenders directly into the program, • in October 2012, research data from A Road Not Taken was selected to be presented at the American Public Health Association's 140th Annual Meeting and Expo in San Francisco. Among the findings were a 41.67% reduction in multiple re-arrests and a 32% reduction in recidivism for those experiencing a longer length of stay (more than 41 days) in the program. • Two South Carolina studies of the New Freedom resources measured in excess of a 50% drop in recidivism. The cumulative re-offense rate for those using the materials was 11.6%, as opposed to the control group re-offense rate of 67.6%. • In 2003-2004, a New Jersey program using the New Freedom program resources documented significant(>50%) impact on recidivism. • The Wisconsin Department of Corrections did research after 14 months of using New Freedom resources. They found they had realized a 99% drop in conduct reports; a 96% drop in TLU placements; and a 97% drop in observation placements. They also found that fewer inmates were considering suicide, and that a positive change in attitudes occurred in the population using the program. Family/Parenting Counseling Vendor shall describe in detail the evidence-based strategies for incorporating marriage/family/parenting counseling in addressing the participant's criminogenic needs. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC uses the Common Sense Parenting® (CSP) curriculum from Boys Town Press in our Family Relationships and Parenting Skills group. CSP Curriculum. CSP is an award winning, practical, skill-based parenting program that teaches parents easy-to-learn techniques and logical strategies to address everyday issues of communication, discipline, decision-making, relationships, and self-control.

The focus of the educational program shall be to increase the offenders'functional literacy and employment skills. It shall include basic education in reading and math and may include GED preparation, if necessary. There shall be an onsite computer lab that will be utilized as a resource center for clients and as a classroom for courses. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC maintains an on-site Computer Lab that participants use for computer-based educational services/GED preparation programming. BI DRC staff are present in the Lab to supervise and assist participants as they work through the KeyTrain/WorkKeys software programs in order to increase functional literacy, improve employment skills, and obtain basic education: If a participant does not have a high school diploma or GED, their BCP will include the goal of earning a GED. To prepare for the GED test, participants will work through the KeyTrain software. Accessible from computers in the Lab, KeyTrain includes hundreds of hours of instruction and curriculum on topics such as reading for information, applied mathematics, locating information, applied technology,writing, business writing, listening, observation and teamwork. KeyTrain not only prepares participants for the workplace by enhancing reading and math levels, it prepares them to take the GED test. DRC staff supervise participant use of the Lab for GED preparation. The Lab also serves as a resource center for participants and as a classroom for courses. In addition to educational training, KeyTrain curriculum can also teach business skills and prepare inmates to take WorkKeys certification tests. Many businesses use WorkKeys in the hiring process to assess potential employees' work performance. The Fresno County DRC will also coordinate with local community resources to assist the participants in obtaining the GED. Life Skills Vendor shall describe in detail their proposed DRC curriculum designed to encourage offenders to adopt a positive, law-abiding lifestyle. The training shall be based on cognitive-behavioral techniques and focus on defects in thought processes that lead to self-defeating decisions. Life skills will be delivered as part of Thinking for a Change (T4C) which employs a four-part training approach—modeling, role-playing,- performance feedback, and generalization—to teach essential pro-social skills. Social Skills is an open-cycle group. Participants can enter Social Skills Group any time after completing the T4C Intro Group. One skill is introduced in each Social Skills Group. Participants are then encouraged to practice their new skills during all their interactions at the DRC. There are 50 Social Skills available including topics such as: listening, asking a question, asking for help, apologizing, keeping out of fights, and �. r responding to persuasion. We are able to customize the social skills we teach based a upon the population. We encourage participants to practice new skills during their Figure 5. Life Skills.

Research shows that the more time spent with participants on their criminogenic needs, the less likely they are to recidivate. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC maintains an on-site CBT Lab to further target participant risk and needs. Depending on their individually assessed risk level and progress in other areas of the program, participants spend time each week in the CBT Lab. Participants may work one-on-one with a BI staff member or within a small group. Social Learning Theory suggests that the more a participant sees and practices skills, the more likely they are to use those skills in the community. As a result, we incorporate role-play into CBT Lab time as often as possible. Computer-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC maintains an on-site Computer Lab that participants can use for Computer-Based CBT. This includes the following: • Correctional Interactive Video Learning World(CIVIL World). Bl proposes to implement this program under a new contract award. CIVIL World is a series of computer-based programs that participants work through at their own pace. Using CIVIL World's interactive, multi-media materials, participants control the pace, direction, and nature of the following programs: o Crime Waves is an introduction to victim impact. Offenders typically deny, distort, and resist confronting the reality of crime's damage and their responsibility for it. In this program, participants explore how acts of crime create damage that spreads out from the act itself_ o Drugs: The Prison Within. In this program, former inmates present issues and engage each other about the advantages and challenges of treatment programs. The program's design includes game-like challenges and action choices that show corresponding outcomes. o Two Selves. Trauma, substance abuse, and other powerful experiences can lead to an over-developed"Habit Self' and thinking errors. This program aims to strengthen the "Thinking Self' with select skills and exercises. • SKILLS. BI proposes to implement this program under a new contract award. SKILLS complements CIVIL World, as both programs present foundational concepts for practicing decision-making skills. SKILLS identifies 14 skills to help participants live and interact with others in a productive and positive manner. The program clearly introduces, defines, and illustrates each skill, This includes acted scenarios to show how the skills work and what may happen if the skill is not used. Participants are encouraged to practice each skill in real-life situations. Relapse Prevention Vendor shall provide a detailed description of aftercare programming designed to mainlarn a law abiding lifestyle in all phases of criminogenic needs. In the description the vendor shall include the program's length and curriculum used. Participants in the aftercare program are not part of the 50 contracted slots. When participants leave the structure and support of the DRC program and move into living responsibly and making their own decisions, the biggest challenge is not relapsing into old behaviors. Relapsing does not just mean resuming substance abuse. It also can mean going back to anti-social thinking and acting, and committing new crimes. The BI-operated Fresno County DRC uses Aftercare to further help participants understand that relapse prevention is a process. Aftercare Program. The Aftercare program will incorporate more expansive curriculum to more comprehensively help participants maintain a pro-social lifestyle while preparing them to deal with the challenges they will face once their supervision ends. To accomplish this goal, the BI-operated Fresno County DRC will combine core aspects of the evidence-based relapse prevention program created by The University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute with Interactive Journaling from The Change BI Incorporated •One Park Place, Suite 700• 621 NW 53r°Street•Boca Raton,FL 33487 51 Tel: 561.893,0101 -866.301.4436- Fax: 561.999.7731 •www.bi.com •www.geogroup.com IIIIII,,,I„ day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a GeO Group Company Fresno County, California Companies. This innovation to our Aftercare curriculum evidences our commitment to continually identifying and implementing best practices through rigorous analysis of our programming, and is the result of a best practice identified by the Correctional Program Checklist(CPC).

Each participant is encouraged to write a letter to themselves, to keep and read when they feel like going back to their old lifestyle. The letter lists reasons to continue their commitment to change, and includes reminders of what they will lose if they return to old ways of thinking and acting. It points out the risks and future issues they will face, and what they will gain if they stay on track. • Substance Abuse Aftercare is covered as a part of the monthly Aftercare group. It covers supplemental material (e.g., HIV/AIDS) using a cognitive behavioral approach. Participants can continue to receive substance abuse support services from the DRC program after they graduate. • Relapse Prevention. By understanding the relapse prevention process, learning to motivate themselves, and recognizing warning signs, participants can avoid or minimize irresponsible behavior or criminal activity. During Aftercare, participants create, practice, and refine their Relapse Prevention Plan. This concrete tool helps participants continue the success they achieved in the DRC program. BI strives to involve Aftercare participants in helping and mentoring participants who are newer in the DRC program. We encourage Aftercare participants to assist in orientation and other on-site groups;we may also host pro-social functions for Aftercare participants.

BI has been operating in the County of Fresno for 8 years (County and CDCR contracts) and has established and maintained strong professional relationships with local organizations and programs that provide offender rehabilitation services within the County of Fresno. To date, Bi has worked with over 2,200 community services providers in California alone. BI DRC staff compile and maintain directories of community resources that can further assist participants with job retention, social interaction, and other applicable support services designed to re-enforce a meaningful, crime-free life in the community. Community Referrals. BI DRC staff maintain a listing of local resources and refer participants to services as needed. This includes—but is not limited to—referrals for transportation, ID assistance, clothing assistance,food assistance, housing assistance, legal services, medical assistance, and public aid. As part of the intake process, DRC staff assess participants for these basic needs. DRC staff also help participants determine if they meet the criteria for any entitlements (SSI, welfare, grants, etc.), then assist participants in obtaining and completing the appropriate applications. If a participant needs to be referred to a community resource, DRC staff calls the provider and sets up the initial appointment for the participant. DRC staff print out a form for the participant that includes the name of the provider, the date and time of the appointment, and directions to the provider. DRC staff follow-up with service providers to confirm that the participant attended their appointments, and maintain open communication to help ensure seamless service delivery.

Monthly Qualify Assurance Reviews. This process includes monthly staff meetings and reviews of participant assessments, BCPs, and case files. In addition, our Program Manager observes and reviews case management meetings, individual sessions, and group facilitations. Semi-Annual Program Reviews, Our Regional Director visits each of our programs on a semi-annual basis to measure program compliance with contract requirements. These on-site visits include an audit of hardcopy participant case files for all required paperwork, and an audit of electronic case files for all required data. The Regional Director also observes and reviews case management meetings, individual sessions, and group facilitations. Annual Program Reviews. Our Divisional Director of Compliance visits each of our programs annually to measure program compliance with contract requirements. At the end of the review, our Director of Compliance writes up a full report on the audit, including major and minor findings and observations. This report is reviewed by our Program Manager and Regional Director. Intermediate Outcome Reports. Our staff evaluate participant progress and program effectiveness with intermediate outcome reports that compile participant statistics such as program completions, average length of stay, attendance rates, employment and education changes, and changes in assessment scores. By analyzing these outcome measurements, we can examine both the immediate results of program activities, as well as long-term program implications. Staff then strengthen effective program elements and change ineffective ones. Service Satisfaction Surveys. Another way that we determine if programming accomplishes the intended outcomes is by asking participants to complete a voluntary survey to answer a variety of statements about our staff and other program elements. Participants also have the opportunity to respond to open-ended questions by sharing their personal experiences while in the program. Survey results enable us to better identify strong program elements; understand participant experiences in the program; and prioritize areas that may need further evaluation, Third-Party Evaluations. We coordinate with third-party agencies to evaluate how well we employ best practices. For example, we contract with outside researchers for the evaluation of our nationwide reentry centers with the Correctional Program Checklist (CPC). The CPC is a widely respected evidence-based tool developed by Dr. Edward Latessa and the University of Cincinnati Correctional Institute that evaluates the effectiveness of offender intervention programs3. Results and suggestions from evaluations such-as the CPC-help us keep abreast of current-trends in service delivery, help us to recognize areas in need of improvement, and help us identify corrective actions. These reviews measure a program's fidelity to EBP and are instructive to the process of learning and enhancing program delivery. If awarded a new contract under this RFP, BI proposes to incorporate the CPC evaluation at the Fresno County DRC. BI has implemented many program improvements and innovations within the DRCs we have operated. Some of these improvements and innovations (e.g., our Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Contingency Management programs) have been in response to CPC evaluation results. Examples of CPC classifications Bi has received for our reentry programs are shown in Table 5 on the page immediately following.

It assesses program leadership and development, staff characteristics, offender assessment, treatment characteristics, and quality assurance. In a previous CPC evaluation of the San Diego DRC that we operate for CDCR, the evaluator noted the strength of our quality assurance mechanisms (such as regular audits, conducting participant satisfaction surveys on a quarterly basis, and re-assessing participant needs and risk at six months and/or upon exit from the program). These mechanisms are currently in place within our Fresno County DRC, and further demonstrate our commitment to quality. The CPC not only considers the content of a program, but also its capacity to deliver programming in ways that lead to high completion rates and reduced recidivism. Working with the County on a formal CPC evaluation will help identify specific variables that most support participant success in the community. Staff Evaluations. To evaluate staff performance against program design, our Program Manager reviews BCPs and case files. The Program Manager also oversees groups to ensure adherence to the program model, EBP, and contract requirements. To ensure appropriate levels of accountability, our company has an established chain of command that emphasizes consistent communication, feedback, and weekly meetings between on-site program staff and upper management. We also provide direct performance feedback to our staff through annual-program reviews, monthly quality assurance reviews, and intermediate measurement reports. BI works closely with Probation to set specific performance goals for the BI-operated Fresno County DRC. This commitment to program transparency helps BI and Probation focus on the DRC's strategic objectives and opportunities for improvement. As a result of each goal setting discussion with Probation, BI continually evolves the DRC's data collection and reporting procedures to best track program performance against the agreed upon goals. Subsequent performance reviews may include active discussions with Probation and the CCP on program operations. BI's commitment to best practices for stakeholder collaboration, data reporting, and program refinement based on measurement feedback have increased the quality and success of the DRC program. If awarded a new contract under this RFP, BI will continue our close collaboration with Probation and the CCP to continuously monitor DRC performance and enhance program outcomes.

Optional Medi-Cal Administrative Activities/Targeted Case Management There is a significant revenue opportunity available to Fresno County Probation tied to the case management activities it conducts as a part of standard Probation and DRC activities. These activities are reimbursable by the federal government through two Medi-Cal programs: Targeted Case Management (TCM) and Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA). Unlike our traditional notions of Medi-Cal, MAA and TCM do not cover direct care services such as those provided by doctors and hospitals. Rather, MAA and TCM reimburse local agencies, like Fresno County Probation, for case management and other brokerage BI Incorporated •One Paris Place,Suite 700.621 NW 53"'Street-Boca Raton,FL 33487 63 Tel: 661.893.0101 -966.301A436• Fax: 561.999.7731 •www.bi.com •www.geogroup.com III,III„II' Day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a Gem Group Company Fresno County, California services delivered to Medi-Cal beneficiaries. As a result, Fresno County Probation has access to a federal revenue stream for activities it already performs. Ramsell Public Health & Safety (RPHS)will work directly with BI and Fresno County Probation to identify the size and scope of this opportunity which we preliminarily estimate at approximately$1.6M annually for Probation and another$150,000 annually for its DRC. RPHS will lead an assessment in collaboration with Fresno County Probation and BI to refine these estimates and make recommendations on the necessary steps to implement these programs with Probation clients. If pursued, the MAA and TCM programs would permit Fresno County Probation to claim federal reimbursement for all eligible activities provided to the Medi-Cal portion of Probation and DRC populations. For the purpose of calculating reimbursement under TCM and MAA, Fresno County Probation would need to determine cost of Probation Officers and DRC staff salaries and benefits based on the percentage of time they spend engaged in TCM and MAA activities, as well as, other direct and indirect costs. Targeted Case Management(TCM). Allowable TCM activities include basic, evidence-based case management activities: assessments, case plans, referrals, monitoring and follow-up. Although TCM is tied to the Medi-Cal program, reimbursement is not limited to management of an individual's health. Rather, it reimburses local agencies when their case management addresses the full panoply of health and social needs, including physical health care, substance abuse, social services, education, behavioral health, housing, nutrition, vocational training, and legal services. Our discussions with Probation in California reveal that as much as 50% of a Probation Officers time could qualify as TCM eligible. In addition, with the expansion of Medi-Cal under the Affordable Care Act, more justice-involved populations are now eligible for Medi-Cal. These newly eligible populations include any man orwoman between the ages of 19 and 64 with an income of less than 138% of the federal poverty level, which is roughly $16,100 for individuals. We estimate that justice-involved caseloads are currently comprised of approximately 50%to 70% Medi-Cal eligible persons. For these newly eligible populations, TCM currently reimburses local agencies for 100% of their costs in delivering qualifying activities, compared to the 50%the program reimburses for activities delivered to those who were previously eligible for Medi-Cal. This is significant for probation departments, as the vast majority of adult, male probationers are newly eligible. The reimbursement rate for newly eligible populations decreases slightly every year through 2020, down to 90% of costs. Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA). RPHS will also work directly with BI and Fresno County Probation to create an MAA Implementation Plan. Generally, the MAA program is more limited than TCM. MAA reimburses local agencies for linking individuals with the Medi-Cal program and Medi-Cal covered services. These activities include education about the Medi-Cal program. assisting individuals with their Medi-Cal applications, referring individuals to Medi-Cal covered services and monitoring their progress, non-emergency transportation to or from a Medi-Cal covered service, contract administration for Medi-Cal covered services, and policy and planning activities to improve the delivery of health care. It is important to note that Medi-Cal covers mental health and substance abuse treatment. MAA reimburses at up to 50% of costs. Preliminary discussions with Probation in California indicate that between 20% and 25%of a Probation Officer's time would qualify for some funding through the MAA program. Potential Additional Revenue, Currently no other agency in Fresno County is participating in the TCM and MAA programs, though many agencies are engaged in case management and administrative activities that benefit Fresno County's Medi-Cal populations. This includes public health, behavioral health (including mental and substance abuse treatment) at public guardian agencies, First Five, and the Department of Social Services. At the end of FY13-14, Fresno County's Medi-Cal population neared 50% of its overall population. 81 Incorporated-One Park Place,Suite 700•621 NW 53r6 Street• Boca Raton,FL 33487 64 Tel: 561.893,0101 •866.301.4436- Fax: 561.999.7731 •www.bi.com •www.geogroup.com 9111111111111 Day Reporting for Adult Offenders RFP Number 952-5395 a Soo Group Company Fresno County, California By not participating in MAA and TCM, Fresno County misses significant opportunities to receive substantial federal financial reimbursement. For instance, one of the most successful counties in California receives over$68 per Medi-Cal enrollee each year through MAA and TCM. Even at a modest$25 or$30 per Medi-Cal enrollee, Fresno County could receive a total annual reimbursement of$10M to$12M for their Medi-Cal enrollee population. We understand that Fresno County does not have a designated Local Government Agency (LGA) to manage the local MAA and TCM programs. Should Fresno County Probation decide to pursue MAA and TCM reimbursement, it will become the de facto LGA for Fresno County, activating potential reimbursement claim procedures for other agencies in the County. Most LGAs charge between 5% and 10% to other participating county agencies to act as the LGA. Accordingly, Fresno County Probation can potentially access an additional revenue stream by serving as the County's LGA and collecting corresponding fee payments from other participating county agencies. RPHS would work with Fresno County Probation to implement and manage any LGA functions. Optional In-Custody Programming BI can also provide and operate a Jail Education & Employment Program (JEEP) for in-custody offenders. The JEEP curriculum is designed to help offenders modify their behavior and develop valuable employment skills. In addition, starting the programming with inmates while they are in custody and transitioning them to the community-based program upon release increases engagement, consistency in treatment, and effectiveness in reducing recidivism. Our JEEP curriculum incorporates assessment, training and feedback to help inmates prepare for a productive life after release and includes intensive case management, group classes, and computer- based skills training. Working within the jail, a BI Case Manager conducts Employment Readiness groups and As an added value to our existing Fresno works individually with participants using the Passport to County DRC services, 81 currently provides Action workbook. In addition, inmates work through "reach-in"services within the jail. KeyTrain, CareerSkills, and CIVIL World on the Education & Employment Lab computers located in the jail. Currently, our Program Manager and Case Manager have access and jail clearance to meet with inmates who are court ordered to the DRC, or that are likely candidates to the DRC upon release. DRC staff work with our Probation and Sherriff Department partners to identify inmate participants. This is done in order to engage future participants e-aTly and provide them valuable information that'can assist in successful reentry and successful completion from the DRC. Our Staff provide referrals, DRC information and important points of contact to the future participant. This is done at no additional cost to the County. Since implementing our provision of in-custody services in late 2015, our staff has averaged one-to-two visits per month, and serves an average of five inmates per visit. Optional Shuttle Services As an optional enhancement, BI can provide supervised shuttle service to and from the Fresno County DRC. This would be of particular benefit to DRC participants living in more rural areas.

Background: In response to the increasing need for evidence-based programs(EBP)to treat offenders,the Kern County Probation Department teamed with B1 Incorporated(BI)in September 2010 for the development of a Day Reporting Center(DRC). Bl was founded in 1978 and provides a number of services including DRC's,a variety of compliance technologies,and other services aimed towards reducing recidivism. 81 currently provides serviecs and products for more than 1,000 agencies nationwide. DRC's provide cvidcncc-based services, programs, and increased supervision in order to reduce participant's criminogcnic needs. The initial agreement provided a six-month program to 50 participants at any given time. In October 2011,the CCP approved funding for the BI agreement to serve 100 panicipants at any given time. Kern Day Reporting Center(DRQ: The DRC is an cvidcncc-based intensive program which focuses on young, moderate to high-risk probationers to rcducc the likelihood of lengthy jail/prison commitments. The Ken) DRC provides services in the areas of substance abuse, mental health, employment training, and various educational services, as well as intensive supervision to reduce parricipant's criminogcnic needs_ The DRC also focuses on "Community ConnorLioas�-w kh introducer,-pamim6pants—te--eommtmity-based—omnizations that can be utilized during and after participation in the DRC. This gives participants organizations within the community to rely on after DRC completion,which aids in creating community buy-in. Participants arc required to panicipatc in the DRC's various services and programs throughout all phases of the program. The DRC has three supervised phases and an aftercare phase. Phase I, "Intensive Supervision;'requires participants to check in seven days a week and drug test once a week. Phase 11, "Intermediate Supervision," requires participants to check in five days per week and drug test twice per month. Phase 111, "Regular Supervision," requires participants to check in three days per week and drug test once per month. The Aftercare Phase requires participants to cheek in once a month with no drug testing requirements. All participants are given a breathalyzer test each time they report to the DRC.

Probation staff from the Research, Analysis and Data Unit,conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of the Kern DRC by examining the recidivism rates of three groups: "Graduates,""Control' and "Participants:' For the purpose of this study, "recidivism" was defined as a new conviction. The evaluation findings show not only a reduction in recidivism, but also a reduction in the severity of recidivism. This equates to a significant annual cost savings to the county in law enforcement, incarceration, prosecution, defense, coups, supervision, victimization, and public safety. Though there have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of DRC's, Probation wanted to ensure the effectiveness of the Kern DRC with its own evaluation. I} Methodoloa&Definitions: Staff obtained a list of all participants including their start date,current program status,length of stay,risk level,and identifying information from the DRC. From this list staff created two groups: a Graduate Group and a Participant Group. The Graduate Group is defined as those who completed all phases of the program from November 22, 20t0 to December 31, 2012. The Participant Group is defined as those who participated for 90 days or more but did not graduate, with a start date between November 22, 2010 and December 31, 2012. The Control Group is defined as a random selection of probationers who did not participate in the DRC,but have similar characteristics,such as risk level,supervision start dale similar to participant's DRC start date,and age. Using the Criminal Justice Information System and Probation's Case Management System l§IS,staff reviewed the case history of every individual,documenting all new convictions after the individual's start date, the number of convictions, and type of conviction (Misdemeanor or Felony). Since this study serves to compare those offenders who graduated from the DRC and a Control Group that did not,these hvo groups arc the two direct comparison groups. However,to further lend credibility to the study, Probation staff also compared these groups to the Participant Group. 2) Discussion of Data.Charts&Tables: The Kenn DRC focuses on moderate to high-risk offenders in an effort to reduce recidivism in groups that are more likely to rcctdivatc and at a higher level. The majority of the Graduate and Control Groups were high-risk and moderate offenders. as indicated by tables I and 2 below. Studies have shown that reducing recidivism in these groups will lia,•c the greatest positive impact on law enforcement, incarceration, prosecution, defense, courts, supervision, victinrizalion, and public safety. —table DRC Graduater Control Group_ High 77% High 71% Moderate 22% Moderate 22% Low 1% Low 7% Total 100% Total 100% These tables indicate that the DRC is providing the majority of its services to the target populalions.

DRC graduates have a 30%recidivism rate compared with a 53% rate of the Control Group. in other words, 70%arc NOT rccidivating comparcd to 47%in the Control Group. There is a strong correlation between a high-risk offender graduating from the DRC and not rccidivating. Reducing the number of offenders that rccidivatc is essential to reducing the current strains on our criminal-justice system. Finding 2— The rate al which DRC'rroduafes reridirwied was Roach less severe. Althougb these groups have similar recidivism rates in misdemeanor convictions (16% respectively), the felony rate for the Graduate Group is 14%,compared to 37%, for the Control Group. This is significant in that if a DRC graduate rccidi.-atcs. he she is less likely to commit a felony compared to the Control Group. This is cvldcni in the most significant impact the DRC contributed to found in the reduction of felony convictions. The Graduate Group had 0,35 fnvcr felony convictions per offender compared to the Control Group. Finding 3— The role m which DRC Parlicipane Group recidiraled rtws lower than the('antral Group, The Control Group had 0.28 more cases per offender than the Panicipant Group. Thosc offenders who participate in the DRC for al least 90 days have fewer cases than those who have no contact with the DRC. The Participant Group had 0.15 fewer felony cases per offender compared io the Control Group, Finding 4— The DRC approprialelr Provided the maiorill,of iry sendces to and is Roost effective with high-risk offenders. High-risk offenders are at the highest risk of rccidivating and generally have longer jaiL'prison commitments. Appropriate services are being provided and are adapted to high-risk offenders. This validates that high-risk offenders are being referred and are most affected by this program. We would not send losv-risk offenders to a high-risk offender program, By focusing resources on this population,the DRC its contributing to a reduction in recidivism and the severity of recidivism for those most likely to rccidivatc which has the greatest societal impacts. Conclusions: I) The DRC is a proven, evidence-based program aimed at reducing recidivists in young, high risk offenders na(ionwide. This study shows that the Kern DRC significantly reduces recidivism and the severity of those that do rccidivatc. 2) Reducing the reoccurrence of crime makes our community safer and saves the taxpayers a significant amount of money through a reduction in incarceration,prosecution-defense.courts. supervision,and victimization costs. 3) As more AB 109 offenders are released to Kern County,the need for services grows. As of October 1, 2013. there were 185 probationers on the waiting list for the DRC. This number is growing each week,and the need for services,particularly the DRC.continues to grow. 4) The CCP is reminded of (tic survey report Kern Cowry submitted to the C5AC Realignment Allocation Commiucc in February 2013, which stated that monies were being spent on community- based services or strategics as outlined in the slatutc of which a DRC was specifically identified. Fundine Rcqucst: Based on the above findings, the probation Department requests an expansion of the DRC to include services for an additional 100 participants, i%vo Deputy Probation Officers, and one Deputy Probation Officer III to supervise those officers assigned to DRC caseloads. This expansion is possible in the current DRC location;therefore all additional funding will go for direct ofT6ttdcr services. Due to the uncertainty of next year's base allocation funding and growth funding. the Department is requesting a multi-ycar contract: a three-ycar contract expansion totals 53,2700M. If the base allocation funding, increases in subsequent years,the Department will absorb the cost of this expansion at the end of the contract temt.

Second,it aims to investigate the extent to which the program is adhering to evidence-based practices.Third,it will assess how well program participants are progressing through the program and how well the program can be expected to reduce recidivism.Fourth,it will investigate the impact of the program on clients'post-program recidivism,both its presence and absence.Where participants are shown to have recidivated,the research will determine if the program was successful in reducing the number of new convictions.
