Background and Discussion:
The Community Supervision & Corrections Department (CSCD) facility at Atascocita houses individuals under community supervision in various buildings on site. This is a public safety facility that the County owns, and this project involves renovations and improvements to these existing buildings and facilities, as well as to County-owned facilities physically attached to these public safety facilities. The Phase 2 expansion of CSCD Atascocita began construction in Q2 2022. The Phase 2 expansion will fulfill the master plan developed as part of the already completed Phase 1. The included scope will increase the campus capacity to approximately 1,000 beds to fulfill Harris County’s obligation as outlined in the 1307 Baker Agreement approved by commissioners on June 23, 2020. The CSCD Atascocita complex is a combined residential facility for the Dual Diagnosis Residential Program, serving clients with significant mental health issues, and the Residential Treatment Center, serving clients who require significant barriers to remain sober or crime free. The currently designed increase in capacity would allow the clients to maintain residency here, while learning life skills and receiving counseling that would help them return back to independent living.
Expected Impact:
This agreement will allow the firm to conduct field and laboratory testing on soil, concrete, asphalt and various other construction materials to ensure the material’s compliance with Harris County Engineering Department’s adopted standards and specifications as required by state law.
Alternative Options:
Construction materials testing is required by state law. Thus, alternatives include issuing a purchase order for similar services to a different vendor or cancelling this construction project.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 6. Help residents achieve housing stability.
County Strategic Plan Objective: W: Transition people experiencing homelessness into permanent supportive housing.
