The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking proposals from Bidders to examine jail rates needed by local governments to recover the cost of housing individuals under the jurisdiction of the DOC who have violated the conditions of their court community supervision order. The analysis must examine the availability of specialized jail beds for medical and behavioral health care that include services such as acute mental health care, detoxification, medications for opioid use disorder, and other substance use disorder treatment. The study must also include an analysis of costs to expand access to specialized jail beds statewide while maximizing Medicaid coverage under Washington's section 1115 Medicaid transformation waiver. The analysis must include a recommended methodology, to include detailed fiscal backup materials in Excel, to update daily jail bed rates going forward. A draft report is due on August 30, 2024, and a copy of the final report is due on September 15, 2024. DOC has been budgeted $270,000 for this work.
