"It is the intent of the Legislature that the contract signed pursuant to      
the authority provided in SB 141 should require that:

2.  Guards employed in the prison meet the same training standards             
that are required of prison guards in AS 18.65.130 - 18.65.290;                
                                                                               
3.  The contract between City of Delta Junction and the prison                 
operating entity should be for durations of no longer than five years.         
It may be renewable; and

of the contractor for non-performance.                                         
                                                                               
5.  The agreement to lease the facility must provide a fixed rate per

to an appropriate index.  The fixed rate for the first year term must          
include all capital and operating costs and may not exceed $70.00 per          
bed each day.  The fixed rate will cover the same daily costs that are         
covered in the current contract between the Corrections Corporation of         
America and the Department of Corrections for beds in Florence, AZ             
(agency contract #2054863, ASPS #95-0100)."
