Summary & Background: This request for an increase in spending authority is needed to cover accrued costs associated with Jail Blitz repairs stemming from inmate vandalism.  Per the terms and conditions of the current jail maintenance contract, vandalism repair costs (labor and materials), is fully billable to the County.   The Jail Blitz program which began in July 2023 addresses all repairs needed to ensure that all systems and structures in the jails’ housing areas are fully functional and don’t present threats to life-safety and/or security.  Through October 31, 2024, the total cost of jail vandalism related repairs is $2,357,903.65. 

 

Examples of vandalism related damage systems and structures include, but are not limited to, cell door locks and hinges, cell door frames, light fixtures, cell door and light wiring, pipe chase doors and locks, holes in cell walls, interior and exterior windows, electrical conduit and plumbing lines and fixtures. Funding for this request has been identified in DREAM’s current operating budget and allocated jail bridging plan capital funding and does not require the additional allocation of funding.

 

Scope of Work: This contract provides preventive/scheduled and corrective/ unscheduled maintenance services for the Fulton County Jail, Jail South Annex properties, and the Fulton County North Annex Jail in Alpharetta. 

 

Specific maintenance services include, but not limited to:

 

Facility management; building envelope and structure; site utilities and distribution systems; central utility plant; hot and chilled water systems; natural and LP gas distribution and combustion systems; plumbing, sewer and water control systems; electrical systems and lighting; low voltage systems; heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); uninterruptible power supply (UPS); emergency generator; security and alarm systems; fire alarm, fire sprinkler, and fire suppression; water towers; kitchen and laundry equipment; pest control; swimming pool; Fume Hoods and grounds/landscape.

 

Community Impact: This effort is necessary to prevent legal actions, unwarranted publicity resulting from the County not being in position to ensure continuous preventive/corrective maintenance services.

 

Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval.

 

The requested spending authority in the total amount of $2,156,400.00 is sufficient to cover the accrued expenses associated with jail vandalism related expenses. 

 

Project Implications: The intent of this contract is to ensure the safety and security of County staff, visitors, and inmates through a well-designed and organized comprehensive maintenance program. The County requires the efficient operation of the Main Jail complex, Jail South Annex, and the Fulton County North Annex in Alpharetta to preserve building assets in such a manner as to extend their useful life expectancy.

 

Community Issues/Concerns: None that the Department is aware.  

 

Department Issues/Concerns: If the increased spending authority is not approved, the County does not have the resources to pay accrued expenses related to inmate vandalism and risks the jail maintenance provider not being able to continue providing maintenance services to Fulton County.  Fulton County does not have the internal resources to provide comprehensive and timely maintenance services to the jail.
