Downstate Correctional Facility (Downstate CF or the Site) is a former maximum-security prison campus located at 121 Red Schoolhouse Road, Fishkill, NY 12524. The Site opened in June 1979 and served as one of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS)'s four receiving and classification centers. Newly incarcerated individuals were typically housed at the Site for a few weeks before being assigned to a permanent facility. The maximum-security Site covers approximately 70 acres of land, 45 of which are within the perimeter security and 25 of which are outside. The perimeter security is composed of an earthen berm surrounding the entire facility and two rows of fencing topped with razor ribbon. There are 37 buildings on the property, totaling approximately 558,000 square feet. The Site is improved with four nearly identical and symmetrical housing structures (core buildings) that are connected by tunnels to a central reception and commons structure (reception center). The core buildings are composed of single-occupancy cells with a collective capacity for approximately 1,200 incarcerated individuals; each core building also has a small library. The reception center houses the kitchen and cafeteria, medical offices, chapel, and commissary among other services. Other structures on the Site include guard stations, storage sheds, and mechanical rooms. Such liquidated damages shall be calculated as an amount equaling the difference between: (1) all sums identified for payment to MWBEs had the Contractor achieved the contractual MWBE goals; and (2) all sums actually paid to MWBEs for work performed or materials supplied under the Contract.
