Project Description:
An accelerated program has been developed to address deferred maintenance and deficiencies within the adult detention facilities based on the recent framework and other studies, including input from the detention staff. The projects were selected as they primarily address critical life/safety systems and the welfare/safety of the employees and inmates. These improvements include security, emergency generators, fire alarms, fire sprinklers, communications, elevators, and associated building systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
