Summary of Request

On March 11, 2020 the Sheriff’s Office submitted an Exception to Competitive Bidding Process form (EB # 20-128) to the Executive Office Central Services Division to request that BI Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the GEO Group, Inc.) be the vendor for home detention tracking services for county inmates. BI Inc. is the only vendor that provides a local office efficiency and ease of keeping the home detention in good reliable working order. Unlike other companies which use a cell phone tracking system, BI Inc. uses a GPS tracking system. Due to the rural nature of Mendocino County, cell phone reception is not always 100% reliable. The GPS system tracks county inmates that are on home detention in a consistent and reliable manner. This Agreement will cover monitoring service, training to Sheriff’s Office, and equipment and units. The term of the Agreement will be for a period of five years with the option to extend the Agreement for up to three additional one-year periods. Due to negotiations and finalizing the details of the contract term, the contract is being presented for retroactive consideration.
