DESCRIPTION


The government authority in San Mateo, California, seeks qualified professional services to conduct a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) audit. The engagement will begin with a pre-audit review of investigative records, grievance documentation, intake and classification screening records, background, training and personnel records, and medical and mental health records. The auditor will also coordinate and schedule the on-site visit and interviews.

During the on-site phase, the auditor will review the facility’s physical plant, including any outbuildings, with complete access to relevant areas and the ability to conduct additional tours as needed. Interviews will include the director or administrator, youthful inmates, randomly selected staff, and randomly selected inmates. The on-site audit dates will be determined by the parties.

Following the site visit, the auditor will review documents, observations, interviews, and applicable PREA standards; coordinate with the PREA coordinator to clarify issues; and communicate with the facility, agency, and outside advocates as needed. An interim report must be finalized within 45 days of completing the on-site audit. If no corrective action is required, the interim report will serve as the final PREA report. Questions must be submitted by September 10, 2026.
