Acting Commissioner Brian K. Murphy has announced that the Connecticut Department of Correction (DOC) has selected The Connection Inc. as the preferred bidder for the creation of 12, pre-release, sex offender treatment beds. The Connection Inc. responded with the sole submission to a request for proposal (RFP) that the DOC had released on January 12, 2010. The deadline for submissions was March 8, 2010. A review committee within the DOC made a recommendation to the acting commissioner, to accept the proposal. A waiver was applied for and granted by the Office of Policy and Management because the normally required minimum of three bids was not achieved. The proposal calls for the beds to be sited at the Cochegan House, a halfway house program The Connection Inc. currently operates at the entrance to the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Uncasville. Commissioner Murphy, however, has asked The Connection Inc. to also consider all other locations that may be available statewide. The selection of a preferred bidder only indicates that the DOC can now begin negotiating a contract with The Connection Inc. Commissioner Murphy has directed that those negotiations will include a strong emphasis on security for the facility in keeping with the agency’s mission of public safety. The DOC will be working collaboratively with the State Judicial Branch, which issued a similar RFP, also for 12 sex offender beds; to benefit public safety, enhance programmatic fidelity and create cost efficiencies for the state. It is anticipated that the creation of the 12 DOC sex offender beds will cost approximately $1-million annually. The RFP calls for the contact to start as of July 1, 2010. |
