As a result of the evaluation, ADC identified various bed combinations, selected the proposals for site hearings, and made notifications as required by A.R.S. § 41-1609.02. Five (5) Site Hearings were held between August 9 and August 18, 2011: CCA: Eloy, Arizona GEO: ASPC-Perryville, Goodyear, Arizona LaSalle: Winslow, Arizona GEO and MTC: ASPC-Yuma, Yuma, Arizona MTC: Coolidge, Arizona ADC is currently completing the evaluation process necessary to make a final site(s) determination(s) for the private incarceration facility(ies). 28 A.R.S § 41-1609.01 ADC is in the process of conducting the first Arizona comprehensive biennial comparison of “private versus public provision of services,” required by Arizona state law. • A.R.S. § 41-1609.01(K) requires that for executed private prison contracts, the Department Director conduct a biennial comparison of the private contractor’s provision of services to the state’s provision of services for a similar facility. The purpose of the comparison is to determine if the contractor is providing the same quality of services as the state at a lower cost or services superior in quality to those provided by the state at essentially the same cost. 29 A.R.S § 41-1609.01 • A.R.S. § 41-1609.01(K) identifies ten (10) service areas that the Department Director shall consider when conducting the biennial comparison. They include nine (9) required service areas and allow for additional discretionary services areas as determined by the Department Director: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Security Inmate Management and Control Inmate Programs and Services Facility Safety and Sanitation Administration Food Service Personnel Practices and Training Inmate Health Services Inmate Discipline Other matters relating to services as determined by the Department Director 30 A.R.S § 41-1609.01 • Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1609.01(M), the service comparison is limited to contractors who exclusively contract with the Department. In addition, the Department is required to submit to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) for its review each completed service comparison. The first comparison report will be completed on or before January 2012. 31 Privatization of Inmate Health Services 32 Health Services Privatization On February 19, 2010, ADC issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to privatize all correctional health services, in all state owned and operated ADC facilities, at a cost below the FY 2008 costs for these services. On May 24, 2010, six (6) susceptible proposals submitted. On June 2010, the ADC FY 2010 actual health care cost of $122,171,259 was $15.2 million less than the FY 2008 actual health care cost of $137,375,452. On December 14, 2010, ADC presented its findings to the Arizona Joint legislative Budget Committee in Executive Session. On March 25, 2011, prior to award, ADC cancelled the RFP in anticipation of new legislation related to privatization of Correctional Health Services. On April 27, 2011, a new law was passed that required a new Correctional Health Services Request for Information (RFI) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process and removed the original requirement requiring ADC to award a Contract at a cost below the ADC FY 2007-2008 total cost. 33 Health Services Privatization On May 27, 2011, the new RFI was released. On June 27, 2011, responses were received from ten (10) vendors. On July 22, 2011, an ADC evaluation team met and evaluated the responses to the RFI. On July 28, 2011, in JLBC Executive Session, ADC presented the RFI responses. JLBC gave the matter a favorable review, allowing ADC to proceed with the RFP. On October 25, 2011, ADC issued the RFP with responses due December 21, 2011. ADC intends the new Contract to be fully operational and all services fully transitioned by June 30, 2012. 34 ASP-Kingman Escape And ADC Response 35 36 ASP-Kingman Escape July 30, 2010 • 2045 – 2115 hours (8:45-9:15 PM): Inmates McCluskey, Province, and Renwick, with the help of accomplice Welch, escaped; exiting the perimeter of the prison complex on the East side and walking to the North and East of the prison. • 2230 hours (10:30 PM): MTC notified Mohave County Sheriff’s Office.
