That the City Council approve the Agreement with G4S Secure Solutions (G4S), for the
operation of the Downey City Jail, and authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement.
Since 1998, the City has maintained a contract with Correctional Systems, Inc. (CSI) which lat
was absorbed by GEO Corrections and Detention, LLC in 2014 to provide jailer services for th
Police Department jail. In 2017, The GEO Group, Inc. bought GEO Corrections and Detention
and assumed the 2014 contract. The current contract was approved in November 2014 for a
year term, including two one-year extensions. The current contract expired on November 30,
2019. Since that time we have been operating with the GEO Group, Inc. on a month to month
contractual agreement. I
This program was partially funded with monies from the Supplemental Law Enforceme
Services Fund (SLESF) COPS grant. i
In September of 2019, the City of Downey issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for jail services.
During this time period we received responses from two jail services providers: The GEO
Group, Inc. and G4S. Subsequently, the Chief and his management staff evaluated the
qualifications of the two jail service providers.
Based on the results of the evaluation of the proposals G4S provided the lowest and most cost
effective bid. Therefore, it is recommended that the City enter into a one-year contractual jail
services agreement with G4S commencing March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021.
