From the meeting
The bill expanded the Virginia Department of Corrections program assignments for prisoners in state correctional facilities and required placement within 90 days of arrival or 60 days after transfer. It also required an average of 30 hours per week in assigned programs and expanded reentry planning, including high school equivalency test readiness assessments and peer and group educational programs. The fiscal note said the Department of Corrections expected possible facility renovations, construction, and additional staff, while cost remained indeterminate.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Commonwealth of Virginia's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
