The County of San Diego’s plans for a Migrant Transition Day Center are on hold after two failed negotiations with separate organizations that submitted proposals to run it. seeking firms to run a semi-permanent migrant center. The initial documents were uploaded on May 24 and said, “The County intends to award one contract with an initial period of eighteen months anticipated to begin July 15, 2024, with four one-year options.
On July 5, a Notice of Intent to Award was posted by the county that said “subject to successful negotiations” a contract would be awarded to JFS. However, months later in mid-September, the intent was rescinded, meaning JFS did not secure the contract. Six days after that, a second Notice of Intent to Award was posted and said the same message, but this time, the contract was set to be given to The Providencia Group, LLC .
