satisfactory performance of the Contractor and the needs of the Agency. Any failure to meet a deadline in the submission
or evaluation phases and any objection to the dates for performance of the Project may result in ODRC refusing to consider
the Proposal of the Offeror.
BACKGROUND The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Corrections (ODRC), as established under House Bill 494, with
responsibilities defined in Ohio Revised Code 5120 oversees the supervision of nearly 45,000 offenders in Ohio at 28 state
prisons, which includes 3 prisons operating as private prisons, contracted to the agency. The institutions vary in level of
security and include corrections reception centers, correctional camps, and pre-release centers. A major component of
ODRC is the Adult Parole Authority (APA) which is responsible for the release and supervision of adult felony offenders
returning to local communities from prison, as well as assisting Courts of Common Pleas with supervision duties for felony
offenders. The APA was created in 1965 and is responsible for the duties addressed in Chapter 5149 of the Ohio Revised
Code. The APA is comprised of the Parole Board and Field Services.
The mission of ODRC is to reduce recidivism among those we touch. The values of the agency are aligned to support the
mission of the agency. The values of the agency are as follows: (1) Take care of our staff; they will transform our
incarcerated population (2) One team-one purpose (3) Civility towards all and (4) Hope is job one.
The Ohio State Penitentiary serves as an integral component of ODRC. The institution is a 24-hour 7 day a week
operation that houses approximately 520 incarcerated persons. It has 327 full-time employees and operated 4 shifts per
day.

DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE The Bidder may be required to submit descriptive literature of the supplies or services being
offered. If requested, the literature will be used in the evaluation process to determine the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder. If not provided as part of the bid response, the Bidder must provide said literature within seven (7)
calendar days after request/notification by the Office of Procurement Services to do so. Failure of the bidder to furnish
descriptive literature either as part of their bid response or within the time specified herein will deem the bidder not
responsive.

will be determined by multiplying the unit cost by the estimated usage listed in the bid and then adding each of the
