3. The services sought by the department are partially funded by other governmental or non-governmental sources with mandates to serve correctional clients.

4. The contractor agrees to provide services at less than full cost.

(C) The department shall consider the variation of service costs as the result of:

(2) The department shall require each contractor as necessary to submit to the department an acceptable work plan specifying levels, types and methods of services to be provided as well as other terms and conditions set by the department.

(3) The department may deny requests for funds on the basis of failure to meet any of the criteria set forth in Sections 18-101k-1 to 18-101k-5, inclusive, the lack of available funds, or the availability of more qualified or less costly service providers.
