Dependent upon unknown and unforeseen factors, the number of Unaccompanied Alien Juveniles apprehended and remanded into INS cusody varies. However, the estimated constant population is 10 to 22 juveniles. INS has committed to house the general population of Unaccompanied Alien Juveniles in its custody in "licensed programs" as defined in the Flores v. Reno Settlement Agreement. The contractor shall provide shelter care and other child welfare related services in a state licensed residential facility. This facility will be in geographic proximity (approximately 50 miles) to the INS San Francisco District Office. The contractor must be able to admit and discharge juveniles on a 24 hours per day, (7) day aweek basis. The contractor shall ensure that the juveniles follow an integrated and structured daily routine which shall include, but not limited to: education, recreation, vocational experiences or chores, study period, counseling, group interaction, free time and access to religious and legal services. This daily routine will enhance programmatic supervision and accountability as well as encourage the development of individual and social responsibility on the part of each juvenile. Program rules and disciplinary procedures must be written and translated into a languare understood by the juvenile. The rules must be provided to the juveniles and fully understood by each juvenile and all program staff. Communications will be required in the three major Chinese dialects (Fujianese, Mandarin, and Cantonese). The length of care per juvenile is anticipated to be less than forty-five (45)days; however, due to variables and uncertainties inherent in each case, the contractor shall design the program to a combination of short-term and long-term care (up to 12 months). Direct Program Services include: Care and Maintenance; Routine and Emergency Medial/Dental Care Orientation; Individual and Group Counseling; Case Management; Acculturation/Adaption; Education; Recreation and Leisure Time; Library Services; Assignment of individual chores. Supplemental Services include: Access to Legal Services; Family Reunification; Visitation; Access to Religious Services; Mail and Baggage Service/Inspections. This requirement may eventually be solicitated under a Request for Proposal/Performance Based format requiring evaluation by an agency team of subject matter experts.
