The Department has a contract with Guadalupe County to house inmates, and the County in turn has a contract with GEO to operate the county correctional facility. There was no RFP process because agreements with the county or other governmental entities are exempt from the procurement code, as are agreements between counties and private prison operators or vendors such as GEO. The Department will have a copy of its contract with Guadalupe county and any amendments, but not copies of the agreement between the county and GEO to operate the facility. It will take more than three days to gather the contract documents within the Department’s custody, and will likely take fifteen days (until April 21, 2016).
The Department will not have any responsive documents regarding water, sewage, loans, or bonds because of the arrangement described above. Guadalupe County or GEO may have those responsive documents, if any, and should have a copy of the contract between the county and GEO. You may contact GEO at the GEO Group, Inc., Legal Division, One Place Park, Suite 700, Boca Raton, Florida 33487; attention: Shannon Weller at sweller@geogropu.com<mailto:sweller@geogropu.com>. You may contact Guadalupe County at http://guadalupecounty-nm.com/contact/. .
Also, I am not sure what you mean or want when you request all inmate labor agreements by any agency within this entity’s jurisdiction. What entity’s jurisdiction? Please clarify this request.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jim Brewster
