n r I ® inmates, then SHP shall receive additional compensation of five (5) times the per diem rate times the number of days in that month. The resulting amount will be an addition to the regular base fee and will be billed on a subsequent monthly invoice. This per diem is intended to cover additional cost in chose instances where minor, short-term changes in the inmate population result in the higher utilization of routine supplies and services.
