Proposals that are not properly marked may be disregarded. All completed proposal(s)
and required documents shall be packaged and submitted in a sealed envelope. The
sealed envelope must be clearly marked "Proposal for Day Reporting Center - RFP No.
C5611191-D, Attention: Mark Yonemura - DO NOT OPEN." Failure to do so may result
in the premature opening of, or failure to open, your proposal.
Sealed proposals must be received no later than the time and date specified in the
Projected Timetable (Section 2 of these instructions) at the designated address stated
below.
Any proposal received at the above address after the Submission of Proposal date and
time specified in the Projected Timetable, Section 2, will NOT be considered. It is the
State's policy to make every effort to ensure that all proposals have been received and
properly time stamped; however, proposers are ultimately responsible for ensuring timely

person identified in the cover letter of this RFP prior to the proposal submission date.
In submitting a proposal, the proposer accepts the terms and conditions expressed herein.

Page 18 of 26
certain corrections if the proposer’s intent is clearly established based on review of the
complete proposal.
If an item is described in the technical proposal and omitted from the budget proposal, it
will be interpreted to mean that the item will be provided by the proposer at no cost. If the
recalculations or interpretations result in significant monetary amount changes to be paid
to the proposer or in a requirement of the proposer to supply a major item at no cost, the
proposer will be given the opportunity to promptly establish grounds legally justifying relief
from their proposal.
After submission of the proposal, proposers are solely responsible for notifying CDCR of
a known error, or an error that reasonably should have been known. If awarded the
contract, a proposer shall not be entitled to additional time or compensation by reason or
subsequent correction of the error(s).
Page 19 of 26
SECTION 5 EVALUATION, SELECTION, AND AWARD
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The CDCR will perform a Pre-Qualification Evaluation process to ensure that the proposer
has included all required documentation in the proposal submittal.
If a proposal package does not meet all of the requirements set forth in this RFP, it will be
considered non-responsive and rejected from further competition.
Those proposer’s submittals that pass this review will be forwarded to the selection
committee for evaluation of the technical proposals.
Proposer’s whose facility does not pass the site inspection will not have their associated
proposal forwarded for technical evaluation. Proposer’s whose facility does pass the site
inspection will have their associated proposal forwarded for technical evaluation.
The overall responsiveness of each proposal will be based on the complete response from
the proposer to the RFP requirements, including the Scope of Work for the project. Final
ranking of the proposals will be based on the criteria set forth in scoring criteria included
in this RFP.
The lowest budget proposal will be awarded the maximum amount of cost points. All other
proposals will be awarded cost points based on the following calculation:
EXAMPLE:
Lowest Budget Proposal $75,000
Other Budget Proposal $100,000
Page 20 of 26
Maximum Cost Points Available 30
Factor $75,000/$100,000 = ¾
Other Budget Proposal points = ¾ x 30 = 22.5 cost points awarded to Other Budget
Proposal
So,
Lowest Budget Proposal of $75,000 receives 30 points
Other Budget Proposal of $100,000 receives 22.5 points
The CDCR reserves the right to use its discretion in identifying and disallowing Budget
Proposal line and/or sub-category item(s) deemed to be unnecessary in performing the
contract. In the event that item(s) are deemed to be disallowed in any one Budget
Proposal, CDCR shall then review all submitted budget proposals to determine the
inclusion of such item(s). Upon conclusion of the review, CDCR will reevaluate all Budget
Proposals to determine the proposer with the lowest cost.
In the event of a tie, the CDCR will utilize a coin toss tie breaker method to determine the
winning proposer. Heads will be assigned alphabetically (i.e. Adams Company, Inc., would
be heads, Boy Company, Inc., would be tails.) Tie breaks will be witnessed, and proposers
may attend to witness the tiebreak process by contacting the analyst noted in Section I
CDCR Contact.
If the proposer has had a previous contract with CDCR canceled for cause, the CDCR
reserves the right to hold a responsibility hearing prior to awarding the contract to
determine if the proposer is responsible. The proposal may be rejected if CDCR deems,
at the conclusion of the responsibility hearing, that the proposer is non-responsible.
The State intends to award one Agreement per county to the responsible proposer earning
the highest score.
The State is not required to award an Agreement and reserves the right to reject any and
all proposals and to waive any immaterial deviations in the proposal. The State’s waiver
of an immaterial deviation shall in no way modify the RFP document or excuse the
proposal from full compliance with all requirements if awarded the Agreement.

of Fair Employment and Housing;
4. the proposer has received a substantive negative contract performance from the State;

6. the proposer’s facility does not meet site inspection requirements;
7. the proposal contains false or misleading statements or provide references which do
not support an attribute or condition claimed by the proposer; or
8. in the opinion of CDCR, such information was intended to mislead CDCR in its
evaluation of the proposal and the attribute, condition, or capability is a requirement of
this RFP.
The contract may be immediately terminated at the sole discretion of CDCR if false or
misleading information contained in the RFP is discovered after the contract is awarded.
The Contractor will be liable for all costs associated with termination of the contract and
any subcontracts the Contractor may have for the performance of this contract.
Requests for documents, such as copies of proposals, will require a Public Records
Request submitted to the Public Records Portal at
https://californiacdcr.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/

After award, the Standard Agreement (STD 213) will be forwarded to the proposer for
signature. Upon receipt, the proposer must sign the Standard Agreement (STD 213) and
return any required documentation in accordance with the time frame specified in the
transmittal letter. In the event the State has not received the signed Agreements and the
Page 23 of 26
required documentation within the specified time frame, the award may be rescinded and
awarded to the responsible bidder with the next highest score.
This Agreement is not valid unless and until approved by the DGS, or, under its authority
CDCR. The State has no legal obligation unless and until the Agreement is approved. Any
work commenced by the Contractor prior to approval may be considered voluntary and
the Contractor may have to pursue claim for payment by filing with the California Victim

payment, unless a longer period of records retention is stipulated. Contractor agrees to
allow the auditor(s) access to such records during normal business hours and to allow
interviews of any employees who might reasonably have information related to such
records. Further, Contractor agrees to include a similar right of the State to audit records
and interview staff in any subcontract related to performance of this Agreement (GC
8546.7, PCC 10115 et seq., CCR Title 2, Section 1896). Contractor shall comply with the
above and be aware of the penalties for violations of fraud and for obstruction of
investigation as set forth in PCC 10115.10.
In preparation of a CDCR audit, a Contractor must retain digital or original source
document files in the Contractor’s headquarters office based in California or at the project

Contractor for all costs necessary to obtain the documentation needed to perform any
project or fiscal audit. Examples of costs are the travel costs for CDCR employees,
shipping costs, and/or duplication costs.
A misappropriation of funds shall result in a disallowance of costs. If the Contractor
received payments that are determined to be unallowable, then, in addition to any other
remedies the State may have, the State may withhold payments from the Contractor to
recover these costs. The State also reserves the option to collect any unallowable costs
from the Contractor in monthly installments. If disallowed or questionable costs are found,

Billing and Invoicing Guidelines
If a Contractor allocates costs to multiple programs or contracts, a cost allocation plan must be on file with DRP. A
cost allocation plan is the organization’s written policy that discloses its accounting practices, policies, and
procedures for allocating direct and indirect costs. The purpose of the plan is to summarize in writing, the methods
and procedures the Contractor will use to allocate costs to various programs, contract agreements, etc. Although
there are different methodologies available for allocating direct or indirect costs, the methodology used must result
in an equitable distribution of costs to various programs. Costs must be allocated using a base which accurately
measures the benefits provided to each contract, program or activity, etc. Contractor must develop the cost allocation
plan according to reasonable criteria, supported by current data and must be approved by DRP. If applicable, DRP
will dispute shared cost if a cost allocation plan is not on file.
A. Direct Costs
Direct costs can be identified to a final cost objective. The following costs are direct costs:
1. Personnel
a) Staff Salaries
Personnel salary and wages (salary equals compensation for staff who are paid based on a fixed rate
for a given amount of time [i.e., weekly, monthly, etc.]; and wage equals compensation for personnel
who are paid based on an hourly rate) should be commensurate with the level of responsibility and
experience necessary to perform contracted program obligations. Salaries must be realistic and
conform to industry standards for each position. If personnel services are claimed for Sub-
Contractors/Consultant costs, the Contractor will not be reimbursed for benefits or indirect costs.
Positions that are paid hourly shall reflect the minimum to maximum hourly range. The budgeted
positions shall not exceed 2080 hours per allocated budget. Salaried positions shall not be charged at
an hourly rate. If hourly staff were incorrectly budgeted as salaried staff, wage will be allowable not to
exceed maximum range.
All personnel costs submitted for payment with an invoice shall be based on actual expenditures. If a
Contractor plans to use the same personnel/staff to provide services for multiple programs, a cost
allocation method must be submitted. The allocation method must result in an equitable distribution of
personnel costs to the different programs. Salaries are only allowable for the time the employee is
performing work for the contracted program.
Salaries must be adequately documented by time sheets signed by the employee and the immediate
supervisor, payroll register, payroll warrant, employee personnel file, general ledger accounts and a
cost allocation method. DRP must be notified immediately if there are any changes to staffing
(promotions, terminations, etc.).
Staff salaries are reimbursable if they have been properly vetted by DRP and are approved to work
(including temporary). DRP may request timesheets and/or paystubs with monthly invoices to account
for employees. For contracted staff below 50% of allocated time, Contractor must record time spent
servicing the DRP contract or complete one-month time study. Consult with DRP regarding time study
process.

• Cost of living adjustments (COLA);
• The Contractor experiences documented recruitment or retention problems. Recruitment
documentation should include, but is not limited to the following:
o Length of vacancy;
o Prevailing wages; or,
o Documented recruitment efforts;
• The salary increases are required by the Contractor’s agreement with its employees’ unions.
d) Staff Benefits
Staff benefits must be claimed in the fiscal year accrued. Contractors must adhere to a minimum and
maximum range of benefits, which shall not exceed the staff benefits allocation for each fiscal year and
for the contract term. Actual costs for staff benefits shall be provided based on a percentage of total
staff salaries. Staff benefits may include regular compensation paid to employees for vacation, sick
leave, jury duty, military training, and employer contributions for payroll taxes, employee health and
unemployment insurance, social security, workers compensation, and a retirement plan. Contractor
must provide a staff benefits cost breakdown, which clearly identifies the benefits, percentages, and/or
costs, above employees' hourly or salaried wages are being charged. DRP will not reimburse staff
benefit cost until breakdown is on file with DRP.
Contractor must ensure benefit costs paid by CDCR are reconciled with actual costs at fiscal year-end
in accordance with the procedures outlined by the Code of Federal Regulations cost principles and
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to your organization. The Contractor shall remit
any overpaid benefit costs to DRP Invoice Unit within 30 days after the end of the fiscal year.
Remittances may be adjusted off the Contractor’s final invoice or the Contractor may submit a check
payable to CDCR.

the State and may not be used for any purpose. Such interest earnings must be reported and the
interest remitted to the State by the Contractor by July 30th each fiscal year. In the event the
contract ends before the close of the fiscal year, payment must be received by the last business
day of the month immediately succeeding the end of the contract. The Contractor will remit any
interest income to CDCR’s Headquarters Accounting Office for placement in the General Fund.
• Cash Basis: Employee’s paid time off is billed through salary line items with regular pay. Unused
time off is reimbursed at the end of the fiscal year or termination of individual employment. Unused
paid time off must be substantiated with documentation of leave earnings, usage, balance and
time sheets. All accrued leave cash-outs shall not exceed 80 hours.
PTO costs in the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of authorized
absences from the job are allowable if all of the following criteria are met:
• The Contractor has established written paid time off policies;
• Costs are in accordance with contract requirements;
• The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities;
• Not exceed a monthly accrual of 20 hours.
Leave accruals will only be reimbursed for the time contracted staff provided services to a CDCR
contract. Paid time off will be compensated consistent with Contractor’s written policies and for such
time earned during the current contract only. CDCR will not be liable for time earned from previous
contracts or employment. For example, an employee begins working on a contract services with 3
weeks of accrued vacation. When the employee takes vacation, these three weeks cannot be charged
to the current contract’s personnel category. The paid time off costs accrued from a prior CDCR
contract must be paid out of the indirect cost budget. When an employee retires or terminates during
the contract term, payments for unused leave are allowable as indirect costs. All accrued leave cash-
outs in excess of 80 hours shall be paid out of indirect costs.
Contractors shall maintain original source documentation to support leave earning, usage, and balance
for each staff. Contractors shall submit leave statements for staff listed on the Budget Rate Sheet at the
request of the DRP.

interest expense related to the original purchase price’s remaining principal balance is allowed. Interest
expenses related to equity loans are not allowable.
The method of computing depreciation must be consistently applied. If a Contractor-owned facility is
fully amortized and fully depreciated, a rental fee equal to a fair market value is allowable.
Cost for construction, remodel, renovation, alteration, or improvement which would enhance the
value of such property to the benefit of the owner are allowable if specifically requested in writing
by DRP. Capital expenditure costs of $5,000 or more are reimbursed through straight line
depreciation.
d) Food
Food costs should be reasonable and necessary to carry out program services. CDCR recommends
purchasing food items in bulk at wholesale prices. If Contractor is required to maintain a stock of food
items, an inventory control system must be utilized to ensure appropriate use of items. Items such as
eating utensils, pots, pans, cleaning detergents, and other items used to prepare meals are not food part
of the food cost and should be considered as household supplies.
e) Communication
These costs may include telephone, messenger services, cellular phones, postage, internet services,
printing for job postings, and basic cable services. Communications costs should clearly identify, and
be limited to, the facility where the service is provided as relates to the contract. For shared
communications costs where Contractors house multiple participants, expenses must be allocated
according to the cost allocation plan. Communication costs are allowable for staff located in the
personnel category of the approved budget rate sheet.
f) Utilities
Utility costs may include gas, heat, electricity, water, sewer and trash collection. All utility statements
must be made available to CDCR upon request.
g) Insurance
Insurance costs are contingent upon receipt of an actual paid invoice from the insurance carrier detailing
the costs that are specifically for the approved agreement. Cost may be allocated monthly and reconciled
at year- end. Additional insurance costs beyond the required levels of the contract requirement, as listed
in Exhibit D, will be incurred by the Contractor. Insurance costs should clearly identify and be limited to
the facility where the service is provided as related to the contract. Contractor servicing additional
agencies will be reimbursed based on the cost allocation submitted and shall notate a cost allocation
percentage with the monthly supporting documentation. If any changes occur to the insurance policy at
any time, the Contractor is required to provide an updated policy.
h) Travel
All travel expenses will be based on actual costs not to exceed the California Department of Human
Resources (CalHR) designated rates. If the Contractor and/or Sub-Contractor are required to travel
during the performance of this agreement, CDCR agrees to pay travel and per diem. If the Contractor’s

transportation during travel for business purposes. All business mileage will be calculated from the
Contractor’s business location unless a trip is commenced at an employee’s home. In this case, the
distance traveled shall be calculated from employee’s residence or headquarters whichever shall result
in a lesser distance. Business mileage will be reimbursed when the Contractor’s and/or Sub-Contractors
personal vehicle is used in the direct performance of this Agreement.
To facilitate consistent processing with your monthly invoices contract staff should utilize State Travel
Expense Claim (TEC) STD. 262A to support the travel/per diem expenses submitted to CDCR.
Expenses must be properly supported. When submitting travel claims for reimbursement, attach all
original receipts to an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet of paper. Travel and/or mileage costs invoiced to CDCR must
be consistent with CalHR rates, and submitted on the correct budget line item consistent with above
requirements. Contractor should document the allocation of shared travel/mileage costs to the
appropriate programs/funding sources. Travel Expense Claim with hand written edits shall require
Contractor staff initials. The State’s travel and per diem rates may change periodically; therefore, these
rates will not be specifically identified in this document. To obtain the most current travel and per diem
rates go to the CalHR website at: http://www.calhr.ca.gov/employees/Pages/travel-
reimbursements.aspx.
Out-of-state travel is unallowable. On a case by case basis out-of-state travel will be considered if the

l) Expendable Equipment
Expendable equipment is defined as expendable items, which depreciate with use and have a unit
acquisition cost of less than $5,000 per unit. Title to any expendable equipment purchased or built with
State funds as part of the agreement will vest in CDCR. The Contractor must retain a list of expendable
equipment purchases exceeding a single item value of $100, such as cameras, calculators, two way
radios, computer equipment, TV’s, tablets, IPads, etc., for audit purposes. Upon termination of the
agreement, expendable equipment becomes the property of CDCR. Expendable equipment must be
listed on the DRP Invoice Unit Inventory List and submitted with your monthly invoice as expendable
equipment is purchased.
The cost of expendable equipment purchased should be comparable to the prevailing price for similar
items within the market. The Contractor should maintain an accurate inventory record for each piece of
equipment purchased or built with funds provided under the terms of the contract. The inventory record
of each piece of such equipment should include:
• Date acquired
• Total cost
• Serial number,
• Model identification (on purchased equipment) and
• Any other information or description necessary to identify said equipment
The inventory record must be submitted to CDCR upon request. If equipment purchased will be used by
other entities sharing the facility program space, the proration of shared costs must be included in the
cost allocation plan (CAP) and invoiced accordingly. Failure to adhere to these reporting requirements
may result in CDCR assessing a fair-market value payment from subsequent contracts.
m) Non-Expendable Equipment
Non-expendable equipment is defined as movable articles which has a normal useful life of at least one
year or more; and, has a unit acquisition cost of $5,000 or more. (Note: A unit consists of one item.)
CDCR will not provide funding to purchase non-expendable equipment. Contractors will be allowed to
rent/lease equipment to be used in the performance of the contract. Contractors will be allowed to be
compensated for the use of non-expendable equipment through depreciation.
The computation of depreciation shall be based on the acquisition cost and the useful life of the non-
expendable equipment. CDCR will not pay for depreciation costs of non-expendable equipment that is
fully depreciated. The period of useful life established for each class of non-expendable equipment must
take into consideration such factors as type of non-expendable equipment, nature of the non-
expendable equipment used, historical and usage patterns (refer to the Internal Revenue Service
Publication 946).
In the absence of clear evidence indicating that the expected consumption of the non-expendable
equipment will be significantly greater in the early portions than in the later portions of its useful life,
the straight line method of depreciation shall be used. Contractors are responsible to update the Non-
Expendable Equipment form as necessary and provide a copy to DRP.
Non-expendable equipment and costs not listed on the Non-Expendable Equipment form shall be
disallowed. Non-expendable equipment items must be listed and the method of charge identified.
Contractors will be allowed to rent/lease non-expendable equipment to be used in the performance of
the contract. Non- Expendable Equipment form list all types of non-expendable equipment used with
this program. Budgeted costs for non-expendable equipment reflect payment made per month during
the term of the contract. A Non-Expendable Equipment list consists of the following:
10

justification indicating the method of depreciation)
n) Staff Recruitment
The staff recruitment may include: Advertising through media, newspapers, magazines, radio, Internet,
television programs, direct mail and trade papers etc. Staff recruitment incentives and/or bonuses are
unallowable.
p) Graduation Cost
Graduation costs are allowable. Graduation cost may include facility rental cost, food, supplies, etc.
q) Vehicle Lease
All vehicles purchased or leased with contract funds, must receive written approval from DRP.
Contractors servicing multiple program/contracts will be reimbursed for vehicle leases (and listed on the
nonexpendable equipment form) based on the cost allocation plan submitted, and shall notate a cost
allocation percentage with the monthly supporting documentation. Wholly owned vehicles used in the
performance of this agreement must be clearly identified where applicable, any compensation for the
use of owned vehicles in the performance of this Agreement shall be reimbursed through depreciation.
Leased or owned vehicles shall carry insurance at the prescribed rates as provided for in the
Agreement.
r) Curriculum
The curriculum shall be in accordance with the contract and approved by DRP prior to purchase.
t) Participant Transportation
If a contract requires participant transportation, costs can include cab fares, bus passes/tokens,
participant transporting mileage, vehicle lease, and car maintenance and be reimbursed at actual
costs. If mileage is used as reimbursement, refer to the standard mileage rate permitted by the Internal
Revenue service. If Contractor uses a business/corporate owned vehicle for transporting participants
the Contractor can bill CDCR for either mileage or depreciation, but may not bill for both. Contractors
must be consistent in the billing method throughout the contract term. These costs should be
adequately documented and tracked. The use of bus tokens should be tracked by keeping a log of
who receives them, date received and signature of person receiving them.
Bus tokens can be purchased in bulk and in advance but must be reconciled at fiscal year-end. Cost

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Exhibit B-1
Billing and Invoicing Guidelines
not fully utilized shall be allocated to next fiscal year and reconciled at year end for the length of the
contract term. If bus token costs are not reconciled to utilization in their June invoice, DRP may reduce
the Contractor invoice by accumulated token cost until reconciliation is provided.
u) Translation Services
The cost of interpretation or interpreting of oral or sign-language communication.
B. Indirect Cost
Indirect costs are incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one objective. Indirect costs are
general costs that cannot be easily assigned or allocated to a program based on some formula or timekeeping
effort.
The indirect cost rate is calculated by adding up your total direct program costs and dividing that figure by your total
organization’s direct costs. Multiply this figure against total indirect costs to arrive at the program’s share of indirect
costs. Another way to illustrate this is through the following algebraic formula (Direct Program Costs/Total
Organizational Direct Costs X Total Indirect Costs = Program’s Share of Indirect Costs). There are several
measures used to determine the proportion of indirect costs to allocate/charge/apply to each program. Two of the
more familiar and generally accepted methods for developing the cost allocation are:
• The ratio of the program’s or contract’s total direct costs to the Contractor’s organization-wide total direct
costs (Total Direct Program Costs/Total Direct Organizational Costs X 100 = Percentage of Indirect Costs
to Allocate to the Program).
• The ratio of the program’s or contract’s direct charged salaries and wages to the Contractor’s organization-
wide salaries and wages, excluding the administrative salaries and wages (Total Direct Program Salaries
and Wages/Total Direct Organizational Salaries and Wages X 100 = Percentage of Indirect Costs to
Allocate to the Program).
The Contractor may develop an allocation plan based on another operational or statistical basis. However, the
method must be approved by the DRP. Contractors must be able to explain their rationale for assigning any indirect
expenses to a program or contract. Bidder’s that have established indirect cost rates with the Federal Government
may use their approved Federal cost allocation plan for State purposes. However, the State may disallow items
that are allowable under their Federal plan. If the Contractor does not have a cost allocation plan on file with DRP,
indirect cost will be disputed.
The following costs are typically considered indirect. However, if these costs can be easily allocated to a final cost
objective, they shall be identified on the line item budget as a direct cost.
1. Accounting
The cost of establishing and maintaining accounting and other information systems required for the management
of contracted programs. This includes costs incurred by central service agencies for these purposes.
2. Advertising
Advertising media includes newspapers, magazines, radio, internet, television programs, direct mail, trade

to the State evidence of valid workers’ compensation coverage. Contractor agrees that the
workers’ compensation insurance shall be in effect at all times during the term of this

insurance, a “true and certified” copy of the policy, or any other proof of coverage issued by
Contractor’s insurance carrier. Binders are not acceptable as evidence of coverage.
Providing evidence of coverage to the State conveys no rights or privileges to the State, nor
does it insure any State employee or insure any premises owned, leased, used by or
otherwise or under the control of the State. It does, however, serve to provide the State with
proof that the Contractor and any subcontractor are insured at the minimum levels required
by the State of California.
Contractor agrees that any liability insurance required in the performance of this Agreement
shall be in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement. In the event said insurance

Department of General Services (DGS) reserve the right to verify the Contractor’s evidence

Special Terms and Conditions
In part, these codes involve requirements for businesses to qualify as a California certified
Small Business, Micro business and/or DVBE. The aforementioned companies must
perform a commercially useful function to be eligible for award and be “domiciled” in
California. A supplier’s bid will be considered non-responsive and rejected for failure to
comply with the definition and requirements set forth in the statutes Contractors found to be
in violation of certain provisions within these code sections may be subject to loss of
certification, penalties and Agreement cancellation.
Contractor understands and agrees that should award of this contract be based in part on
their commitment to use the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) subcontractor(s)
identified in their bid or offer, per Military and Veteran’s Code (MVC) § 999.5 (e), a DVBE
subcontractor may only be replaced by another DVBE subcontractor and must be approved
by the Department of General Services (DGS). The Contractor shall submit requests for
DVBE substitutions electronically on the DVBE Substitution form with justification for the
substitution to the Office of Business Services; icshelpdesk.icshelpdesk@cdcr.ca.gov (for

SB/DVBE Advocate at sbdvbeadvocate@cdcr.ca.gov. Requests to replace a DVBE
subcontractor must be amply documented to show that the replacement meets the criteria
as specified in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title II, Section 1896.64(c) or the
Public Contract Code (PCC) § 4107 (for public works). Failure of Contractor to seek
substitution and adhere to the DVBE participation level identified in the bid or offer may be
cause for contract termination, recovery of damages under rights and remedies due to the
State, and penalties as outlined in MVC § 999.9; PCC § 10115.10, or PCC § 4110 (for public
works contracts).

payments to DVBE subcontractors were made upon completion of the contract and allows
the awarding department to requests proof of payment. Senate Bill 588 requires prime
contractors to certify that payments to DVBE subcontractors were made upon final invoice
submittal. MVC 999.7 states that the department shall withhold up to $10,000 from the final
payment until the prime contractor complies with the certification requirements in MVC
999.5(d).
Prime contractors shall return the completed Prime Contractor’s Certification – DVBE
Subcontractor Report (STD 817) with proof of payment to the DVBE subcontractor via email
to “DVBESubcontractorReport@cdcr.ca.gov” for processing and inclusion in the contract file

in the activity described in this section.
The Contractor shall conduct a criminal background records check for each contract
employee who will have contact with CDCR inmates and retain the results for audit
purposes. By signing this contract the Contractor agrees to ensure that all of the mandates
of this Section 5: Prison Rape Elimination Policy are complied with. Material omissions, by
the contract employee, regarding such misconduct or the provision of materially false
information, shall be grounds for removal from institutional grounds.
Contract employees, who have contact with inmates, shall be provided training via the
Exhibit titled; “PRISON RAPE ELIMINATION POLICY, Volunteer/Contractor Informational
Sheet” to learn their responsibilities under the agency’s sexual abuse and sexual
harassment prevention, detection, and response policies and procedures. A copy of this
signed informational sheet will be provided to the institution before a contract employee may
have contact with inmates.
Any contract employee who appears to have engaged in sexual misconduct of an inmate
shall be prohibited from contact with inmates and shall be subject to administrative and/or
criminal investigation. Referral shall be made to the District Attorney unless the activity was
clearly not criminal. Reportable information shall be sent to relevant licensing bodies.

2.1 Obligations and Activities of Business Associate. Business Associate agrees as follows:
(a) not to use or further disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by this
Agreement or as Required By Law;
(b) to establish, maintain, and use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure
of the PHI other than as permitted herein;
(c) to report to Covered Entity any use, access or disclosure of the PHI not provided
for by this Agreement, or any misuse of the PHI, including but not limited to
systems compromises of which it becomes aware and to mitigate, to the extent

thereof. Business Associate shall be responsible for any and all costs (including
the costs of Covered Entity) associated with mitigating or remedying any violation
of this Agreement;
(d) to enforce and maintain appropriate policies, procedures, and access control
mechanisms to ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom it
provides PHI received from, or created or received by Business Associate on
behalf of Covered Entity agrees to the same restrictions and conditions that apply
through this Agreement to Business Associate with respect to such information.
The access and privileges granted to any such agent shall be the minimum
necessary to perform the assigned functions;
(e) to provide access, at the request of Covered Entity, and in the time and manner
reasonable designated by Covered Entity, to PHI in a Designated Record Set (as
defined in the Privacy Rule), to Covered Entity or, as directed by Covered Entity,
to an Individual in order to meet the requirements under 45 CFR §164.524;

Covered Entity.
(g) to make internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure
of PHI received from, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of,

Entity to the Secretary, in a time and manner reasonably requested by Covered
Entity or designated by the Secretary, for purposes of the Secretary determining
Covered Entity’s compliance with the Privacy Rule.
(h) to document such disclosures of PHI, and information related to such disclosures,

documentation shall include, but not be limited to, the date of the disclosure, the
name and, if known, the address of the recipient of the PHI, a brief description of
Page 2 of 15

the PHI disclosed, and the purpose of the disclosure. Said documentation shall
be made available to Covered Entity upon request.
(j) to promptly notify Covered Entity of all actual or suspected instances of deliberate
unauthorized attempts (both successful and unsuccessful) to access PHI. Such
notice shall be made to Covered Entity by telephone as soon as Business
Associate becomes aware of the unauthorized attempt, and this telephone
notification shall be followed within two (2) calendar days of the discovery of the
unauthorized attempt by a written report to Covered Entity from Business
Associate. Business Associate shall, at the same time, report to Covered Entity
any remedial action taken, or proposed to be taken, with respect to such
unauthorized attempt. Covered Entity shall have the discretion to determine
whether or not any such remedial action is sufficient, and all such remedial action
shall be at Business Associate’s expense.
(k) to maintain and enforce policies, procedures and processes to protect physical
access to hardware, software and/or media containing PHI (e.g., hardcopy, tapes,
removable media, etc.) against unauthorized physical access during use, storage,

(l) to ensure that access controls in place to protect PHI and processing resources
from unauthorized access are controlled by two-factor identification and
authentication: a user ID and a Token, Password or Biometrics.
(m) to implement, use and monitor its compliance with appropriate technological,
administrative and physical safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI
other than as permitted by this Agreement. Business Associate shall provide
Covered Entity with evidence of such safeguards upon Covered Entities request.
Covered Entity has the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether such
safeguards are appropriate, and to require any additional safeguards it deems
necessary.

or request from a governmental agency (e.g. the Secretary) that potentially could
require the disclosure of PHI, Business Associate shall provide prompt (i.e., within
twenty-four (24) hours) written notice of such legal process (including a copy of the
legal process served) to the designated person at the Covered Entity. In addition,

third party or another covered entity, Covered Entity agrees to be bound to the
obligations and activities of Business Associate enumerated in Section 2.1 as if

PREA Policy Information for Volunteers and Contractors
CDCR 2301 PREA Policy Information for Volunteers and Contractors – Part A
The Prison Rape Elimination Policy for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is
explained on this informational sheet. As a volunteer or private contractor who has contact with CDCR offenders,
it is your responsibility to do what you can, within the parameters of your current assignment, to reduce incidents
of sexual violence, staff sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment and to report information appropriately when
they are reported to you or when you observe such an incident. For purposes of this Policy, the word “staff”
includes volunteers and private contractors.
Historical Information
Both the Congress and State Legislature passed laws, the Federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003,
the Sexual Abuse in Detention Elimination Act, Chapter 303, Statutes of 2005, and most recently the United
States, Department of Justice Final Rule; National Standards of 2012 to help prevent, detect, and respond to
sexual violence, staff sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment behind bars. It is important that we, as
professionals, understand all aspects of these laws and our responsibilities to help prevent, detect, and respond
to instances by offenders and staff.
CDCR Policy
The CDCR policy is found in Department Operations Manual (DOM), Chapter 5, Article 44. PREA addresses
five types of sexual offenses. Sexual violence committed by offenders against offenders encompasses: abusive
sexual contact, non-consensual sex acts, and sexual harassment by an offender. Other sections covered by
PREA include staff sexual misconduct towards an offender and staff sexual harassment towards an offender.
Retaliatory measures against employees or offenders who report incidents of sexual violence, staff sexual
misconduct, or sexual harassment as well as retaliatory measures taken against those who cooperate with
investigations shall not be tolerated and shall result in disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution. Retaliatory
measures include, but are not limited to:
• Coercion.
• Threats of punishments.
• Any other activities intended to discourage or prevent staff or offenders from reporting incident(s).
Professional Behavior
Staff, including volunteers and private contractors are expected to act in a professional manner while on the
grounds of a CDCR institution and while interacting with other staff and offenders. Key elements of professional
behavior include:
• Treating everyone, staff and offenders alike, with respect.
• Speaking without judging, blaming, or being demeaning.
• Listening to others with an objective ear and trying to understand their point of view.
• Avoiding gossip, name calling, and what may be perceived as offensive or "off-color" humor.

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Exhibit F
PREA Policy Information for Volunteers and Contractors
Preventative Measures
You can help reduce sexual violence, staff sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment by taking various actions
during the performance of your duties as a volunteer or private contractor.
Detection
All staff, including volunteers and private contractors, is responsible for reporting immediately and confidentially,
to the appropriate supervisor any information that indicates an offender is being, or has been, the victim of sexual
violence, staff sexual misconduct, or sexual harassment.
After immediately reporting to the appropriate supervisor, you are required to document the information you
reported. You will be instructed by the supervisor regarding the appropriate form to be used for documentation.
You will take necessary action (i.e., give direction or press your alarm) to prevent further harm to the victim. Staff,
including volunteers and private contractors, will request the victim does not: 1) Shower; 2) Remove clothing
without custody supervision; 3) Use the restroom facilities; and 4) Consume any liquids.
I have read the information above and understand my responsibility to immediately report any information that
indicates an offender is being, or has been, the victim of sexual violence, staff sexual misconduct, or sexual
harassment.

Data Sharing Agreement
1.0 This ARMS DSA is entered into by and between the Administrators of the CDCR and
Provider to establish the content, use, and protection of data described below (ARMS Data)
needed by Provider to support the contracted service, whether such data is provided by
CDCR or collected by Provider on behalf of CDCR.
2.0 The ARMS closes a significant gap in information for offenders treated with
rehabilitation programming by contracted providers. While ARMS will accumulate
significant data, the data will need to be shared with other stakeholders throughout the
rehabilitation process to ensure the process of rehabilitation is effective. The concept of
operations within ARMS includes security and protection for Personal Health Information
(PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The data in ARMS has been classified
as Moderate according to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 199
Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems and
the ARMS solution has been contracted to provide Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP) standards for technical implementation to protect
information maintained in the “Cloud.”
3.0 In order to ensure the security of the ARMS Data the Provider agrees to permit CDCR
or its authorized representatives to make online inspections at any time, or onsite
inspections during regular business hours, for the purpose of conducting program and/or
performance audits to ensure Provider is preserving the security of CDCR electronic
data. CDCR is authorized to investigate reports of Provider misuse of electronic
data. During such security audit or investigation, Provider shall comply with CDCR
requests in providing access to its employees, together with records, books and
correspondence, hardware and/or electronic files, and other documentation or media of
every kind directly related to this ARMS DSA that are necessary for CDCR to carry out
such security audit and investigation.
4.0 ARMS Data includes each of the types of information listed below. For purposes of
this ARMS DSA the following definitions apply:
a. Public Information (PI) – information maintained by CDCR that is not exempt from
disclosure under the provisions of the California Public Records Act (Government
Code Sections 6250-6265) or other applicable state or federal laws (SAM §5320.5).
b. Confidential Information (CI) – information maintained by CDCR that is exempt
from disclosure under the provisions of the California Public Records Act

date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, or biometric records; and (2) any
other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical,
educational, financial, and employment information.
g. Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) - schools must have written
permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information
from a student’s education record except where authorized under 34 CFR § 99.31.
h. Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) - means records and data compiled
by criminal justice agencies for purposes of identifying criminal offenders; and
maintaining for each offender a summary of arrests, pretrial proceedings, nature
and disposition of criminal charges, sentencing, incarceration, rehabilitation, and
release. Such information shall be restricted to that which is recorded as the result
of an arrest, detention, or other initiation of criminal proceedings or of any
consequent proceedings related thereto. It shall be understood to include, where
appropriate, such items for each person arrested as the following:
i. Personal identification.
ii. The fact, date, and arrest charge; whether the individual was subsequently
released and, if so, by what authority and upon what terms.
iii. The fact, date, and results of any pretrial proceedings.
iv. The fact, date, and results of any trial or proceeding, including any
sentence or penalty.
v. The fact, date, and results of any direct or collateral review of that trial or
proceeding; the period and place of any confinement, including
admission, release; and, where appropriate, readmission and rerelease
dates.
vi. The fact, date, and results of any release proceedings.
vii. The fact, date, and authority of any act of pardon or clemency.
viii. The fact and date of any formal termination to the criminal justice process
as to that charge or conviction.
a) The fact, date, and results of any proceeding revoking probation or
parole.
CORI shall not include intelligence, analytical, and investigative reports and files,
nor statistical records and reports in which individuals are not identified and from
which their identities are not ascertainable.
i. Authorized Persons – means (i) Authorized Employees; and (ii) Provider’s
contractors, agents, outsourcers, and auditors as disclosed as part of the initial
contract Agreement with CDCR who have a need to know or otherwise access
HRCI PII, PHI, FERPA, or CORI to enable Provider to perform its obligations
under this Agreement, and who are bound in writing by confidentiality obligations
sufficient to protect HRCI, PII, PHI, FERPA, or CORI in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this ARMS DSA.
j. Security Breach – means (i) any act or omission that materially compromises either
the security, confidentiality or integrity of ARMS Data or the physical, technical,
administrative or organizational safeguards put in place by Provider (or any
Authorized Persons) that relate to the protection of the security, confidentiality or
integrity of personal information, or (ii) receipt of a complaint in relation to the
Page 4 of 13
TBD RFP Number C5611191-D
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Exhibit G
Data Sharing Agreement
The period of this ARMS DSA shall be in effect for the time Provider is on contract to
provide rehabilitation services with CDCR and making use of the CDCR ARMS Software
as a Service (SaaS) solution, unless earlier terminated by 30-day written notice by either
organization. The ARMS DSA is to be reviewed not less than every three years from the
date of this ARMS DSA coordinated by the CDCR Information Security Officer (ISO). In
the absence of this ARMS DSA, Provider may be prevented from retaining a contract for
services.
By this Agreement CDCR has appointed Provider as a licensed user organization of ARMS
and ARMS Data. ARMS Data will be uploaded into ARMS from various CDCR systems
for the purpose of ensuring contracted providers in ARMS have data necessary to make
continuity of care decisions. Provider is granted permission for the use of the ARMS Data
and is a caretaker or custodian of the ARMS data.
All ARMS data to which CDCR provides access to Provider or which is collected by
Provider on behalf of CDCR’s employees is the property of CDCR, and shall not be sold,
loaned, licensed, given, assigned, or in any way shared with third parties without the
express prior written permission of the CDCR ISO. Data will be entered by Provider to
the ARMS as well as by CDCR staff members from multiple divisions into the hosted
application. The CDCR ARMS data shall not be sold or used, internally or externally, for
any purpose not directly related to the scope of work defined in this agreement without the
express prior written permission of the CDCR ISO. This duty extends to all authorized
persons, agents, and employees of the Provider. This obligation survives the termination
of this Agreement.
Provider shall employ industry best practices, both technically and procedurally, to protect
all ARMS Data from unauthorized physical and electronic access. Methods employed are
subject to review and approval by CDCR at such times and with such frequency as CDCR
deems necessary.
ARMS Data shared with Provider shall be limited to the data elements specifically
defined and authorized by CDCR for use by Provider. Data collected within ARMS

Data for Provider’s own purposes or for the benefit of anyone other
than CDCR, in each case, without CDCR ISO prior written consent.
Release of information including any data from ARMS to the media
in any fashion that identifies client or CDCR individuals is
prohibited. Aggregate summarization of data for programs may be
shared if no individual information is disclosed. Examples include:
types of programs offered, number of individuals in programs,
length of programs, completion rate averages, etc.
c) Not, directly or indirectly, disclose ARMS Data to any person other
than its Authorized Persons, including any, subcontractors, agents,
lessees, licensees, outsourcers, or auditors (an “Unauthorized Third
Party”), without the express prior written consent from the CDCR
ISO unless and to the extent required by Government Authorities or
as otherwise, to the extent expressly required, by applicable law, in
which case, Provider shall (i) notify CDCR before such disclosure
or as soon as possible but not later than 48 hours; (ii) be responsible
for and remain liable to CDCR for the actions and/or omissions of
such Unauthorized Third Parties concerning the treatment of such
ARMS Data as if they were the Provider’s own actions and/or
omissions; and (iii) require the Unauthorized Third Party that has
access to ARMS Data to execute a written agreement agreeing to
comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to
the treatment of ARMS Data.
iv. Provider User Management
a) Provider agrees to submit each ARMS user for CDCR program
review and approval in accordance with program contract terms
and conditions. CDCR reserves the right to require Provider to
remove any user which CDCR determines is unqualified to
continue to have access to ARMS.
b) In the event that the employment of a Provider employee or sub-
contract entity or person who utilizes an ARMS user account for
the CDCR program, is terminated for cause, or whose employment
is terminated or ended for any reason, Provider agrees that the
Providers local Site Administrator will inactivate the ARMS user’s
account immediately.
c) Provider agrees to inform CDCR of any change in the status of an
ARMS user, including those referenced this section within one (1)
business day.
d) CDCR reserves the right to inspect Provider user status change
records in accordance with Section 3 of this ARMS DSA.
v. Provider shall exercise care for ARMS Data that is brought into ARMS,
but not entered by Provider. ARM S Data not entered by Provider will be
released to Provider for one offender at a time if the following conditions
are met to facilitate Provider’s control and responsibility (Provider may

Connections to Provider computers utilizing the Internet, whether for client access
or remote administration, must be protected at all times using any of the following
industry standard cryptographic technologies: SSL/TLS, IPSec, SSH/SCP, PGP.
b. Data Storage
Regardless of the media employed (i.e., disk, tape, etc.), data must be stored at all
times in an encrypted format. Encryption algorithms shall be AES-128 or better,
or Triple-DES (3-DES). The use of other encryption algorithms for data storage
must be approved in writing by CDCR ISO. Approval may be granted or
withheld at CDCR’s sole discretion. CDCR ISO reserves the right to inspect all
storage systems during business hours to ensure the continued security of the
ARMS Data.
Provider shall at all times comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations
protecting the privacy of citizens including CFR 42, Part 2; the FERPA; and the HIPAA.
Where applicable, Provider shall also comply with all provisions of the Financial Services
Modernization Act (the “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act”).
Provider agrees that in the event of any actual or suspected breach or compromise of the
security, confidentiality or integrity of computerized data where ARMS Data of a CDCR
employee, inmate, parolee, or ward was or is suspected to have been, acquired and/or
accessed by an unauthorized person, Provider shall notify CDCR of the actual or suspected
breach of the security system containing such data as soon as possible or at a minimum
within 24 hours, comply with all notification actions, and/or assist CDCR with all
notification actions required by State policy and the law.

As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for
a noncriminal justice purpose (such as an application for employment or a license, an
immigration or naturalization matter, security clearance, or adoption), you have certain rights
which are discussed below.
• You must be provided written notification that your fingerprints will be used to check the
criminal history records of the FBI.
• You must be provided, and acknowledge receipt of, an adequate Privacy Act Statement
when you submit your fingerprints and associated personal information. This Privacy Act
Statement should explain the authority for collecting your information and how your
information will be used, retained, and shared. 2
• If you have a criminal history record, the officials making a determination of your
suitability for the employment, license, or other benefit must provide you the opportunity to
complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in the record.
• The officials must advise you that the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or
update of your criminal history record are set forth at Title 28, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Section 16.34.
• If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount of time
to correct or complete the record (or decline to do so) before the officials deny you the
employment, license, or other benefit based on information in the criminal history record. 3
You have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check
will use it only for authorized purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal
statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National
Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.
If agency policy permits, the officials may provide you with a copy of your FBI criminal history
record for review and possible challenge. If agency policy does not permit it to provide you a copy
of the record, you may obtain a copy of the record by submitting fingerprints and a fee to the FBI.
Information regarding this process may be obtained at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity- h
istory-summary-checks.
If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your FBI criminal history record, you
should send your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information to the FBI.
Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the FBI. The FBI will then forward your
challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information and request the agency to
verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication from that agency,
the FBI will make any necessary changes/corrections to your record in accordance with the
information supplied by that agency. (See 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.) You can find additional
information on the FBI website at https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks.

Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes
TouchPoint Definition: A TouchPoint is a form for collecting data in ARMS software. TouchPoints capture data details for a variety of reasons. For example: a TouchPoint can be created to record
case notes, action plans and progress, attendance, pre and post exams, as well as other types of information. TouchPoints are highly customizable and data collected is reportable. Providers are
expected to ensure data is input into ARMS per the implemented Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes as detailed in this spreadsheet.

Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes
Community Reentry Services has defined Functionality as required program related data that is not entered as a TouchPoint, i.e., enrollments, dismissals, caseloads, etc. Providers are expected to
ensure data is input into ARMS per the implemented Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes as detailed in this spreadsheet.
The ARMS Invoicing 01a - Monthly Activity Invoice Reconciliation (Invoicing 01b -MCRP Monthly Activity Invoice Reconciliation for MCRP) shall be generated weekly for the preceding Sunday through Saturday for data entry verification and reconciling any issues prior
to submitting the Invoicing 01a (Invoicing 01b for MCRP) with your monthly invoice to DRP for payment. For example: pull the Invoicing 01a (Invoicing 01b for MCRP) on Monday, 05/03/2021 for Sunday, 04/25/2021 through 05/01/2021. Once the report is generated,
the next steps are as follows:
* Select the residential reconciliation tab. First apply the sort and filter to row 1 (report titles) so that you can select and sort the desired columns.
* Sort Column C, “Program” for each individual site (Skip filter if you only pulled for one address location). Sum Column X, “Days Attended Total”. The total reflected should match the invoice total for each site. Continue to reconcile each individual program site.
* If the Invoicing 01a (Invoicing 01b for MCRP) total does not match the invoice, check the following:
o Check each client’s rate and total, one by one, to locate the amount that is inaccurate.
• For 290 clients, check to see if column I (PC290s) reflects “yes” and the rate/total is correct.
• For Emergency Housing, make sure that the referral type in column J reflects “emergency housing.” In addition, your total should match the rate that is being utilized for this specific housing (only verify if Emergency Housing applies to your program type).
• For Housing, all modalities should have the listed rate for your area which will then total to the correct dollar amount.
o If a rate is incorrect or missing, email your program analyst the issue so that it can be communicated to ARMS Support.
Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes by o If the total is incorrect, check the amount of “Days in Attendance”, Column T. This reflects the number of Daily/Night Attendances recorded. Extra attendances would result in overpayment, while missing attendances will result in a lower total.
Functionality (Includes some CRS procedures for • Total days in Attendance x Rate = Days Attended Total
implementation needed by ARMS Support in ARMS): o Under the Residential – Multiple Rates tab, clients may appear there as well for a facility having multiple effective rates during the billing period. For example: Rate sheet submitted on 4/1/2021 for $40.00 per day, and then another rate sheet is submitted for
the same facility on 4/15/2021 with a rate of $50.00 per day. This means that any participant that was enrolled for 4/1/2021 through 4/14/2021 would receive the $40.00 rate and $50.00 from 4/15/2021 moving forward. You would need to double check the Residential
multiple Rates tab to ensure that your program did not have multiple rates that apply. If your program does have multiple rates you would need to include the following:
• The amount to the total you have on the residential reconciliation tab. (make sure that it is also correct for all clients under this tab)
* Continue site specifically, down to client specific, until all totals match the invoiced amount. Sum of the entire tab should equal billing for all residential modalities for the month.
Generate the Invoicing 01a (Invoicing 01b for MCRP) on the 5th of every month for the preceding month. For example: pull the Invoicing 01a (Invoicing 01b for MCRP) on Wednesday, 05/05/2021 for Thursday, 04/01/2021 through Friday, 04/30/2021 and follow the
above listed steps. Compare the monthly data pull verification to your weekly data pull verification to confirm that changes have not occurred and the data matches the invoice submission to DRP. Please ensure to follow this processing in its entirety prior to submitting
your invoices for reimbursement.
* Confirm with invoice (are invoices submitted on time, are there any issues?)

* To reconcile outpatient and professional service modalities, select the outpatient reconciliation tab.
* Sort by Column C, “Program” (Skip filter if you only pulled for one address location) and sum Column AA, “Overall Total $”. Each site should reflect a total matching the invoiced amount.
* If discrepancies are found, check the following columns for each client:
o Column R - Group Attendance Sessions - compare the total number in the report to the invoices. Both totals should reflect how many groups the client attended during the month.
• Inaccurate totals should be reviewed in ARMS under the appropriate modality.
• Group session type should be selected as “attended.”
o Column Y - Group Attendance Total - compare the total amount in the report to the invoices. Both amounts should be identical.
• Inaccurate amount should be reviewed based on the number of groups attended in column R.
Data Requirements and Reporting Timeframes by • Make sure that columns W and X have the correct rates for each program (this may be affecting the total amount).
