| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In 2014, the Board adopted a resolution authorizing acceptance of local Jail Construction Financing (AB900) Phase II funds for $36,295,000 from the Board of State and Community Corrections. These funds are to be used to expand the current jail detention facility to include new housing, program space, kitchen, and day reporting center. Additionally, renovations will be made to the existing footprint to provide for additional health and mental health beds, separate booking and intake, and an upgrade/retrofit to the security electronics.
On April 24, 2018, the Board approved the project budget and authorized the CAO to execute a construction contract with Broward Builders. The State Department of Finance approved the contract award at the end of June 2018, and construction began on July 20, 2018. Attachment A contains the project milestone schedule.
Project Status
Initial site preparation was completed in July and August and work on the various buildings began after that. Currently, the project sits at just under ten percent (10%) complete. The following are highlights for the buildings currently under focus (Attachment B displays a building map of the jail complex):
- Building K (Kitchen and Laundry) – underground plumbing and electric placed, concrete foundation laid, door frames installed, block/walls underway;
- Building F (In-Custody Programs) – underground plumbing and electric placed, concrete foundation laid, door frames installed;
- Building V (Day Reporting) – underground plumbing and electric placed, concrete foundation laid;
- Building D (Medical & Mental Health Expansion) – demolition and foundation excavation, repair of damaged 8-inch water main;
- Building H (Housing Unit) – underground plumbing and electric placed, concrete foundation laid.
Project Considerations
Later phases of the project require the relocation of inmate booking to allow completion of the intake/booking expansion and remodel. Initially, plans called for the use of new housing units for temporary booking. However, the team has determined that this will not be ideal. Rather, the old jail/court holding facility located on 3rd Street in Woodland has been identified as the alternative of choice. Considerations related to the use of this facility for temporary booking are under review.
The other chief consideration or change to the project is the requirement to include in-person visitation at the jail. The State approved the County’s initial plans before the implementation of the new in-person visitation regulations. Nonetheless, the County desires and the state is requiring that the County adhere to the regulations. Due to the project’s timeline and to avoid delays in construction, the County requested and the State granted the necessary approval for construction to proceed with the understanding that the County would submit a scope change incorporating the capacity to provide in-person visitation. The County submitted the necessary scope change which was included on the consent agenda for the State Public Works Board on November 16, 2018.
Project Budget
The total approved project budget is $43,981,907. Of this total $36,295,000 comes from Jail Construction Financing (AB900) Phase II funding plus the required 10% matching funds and additional project costs. Funds were set aside from Development Impact Fees, Accumulated Capital Outlay Funds, and County bond proceeds to complete the total project funding. The Budget Summary Table (Attachment C) outlines the funding specifics for the project.
The project budget includes construction contingency of $2,287,110 to cover unidentified or additional costs. The previously discussed scope change adding in-person visitation is one such cost. The subsequent change order will be approximately $630,000—review and approval of the submitted change order are ongoing. |
