Summary & Background This request for increase in spending authority is needed to cover accrued costs associated with the Jail Blitz project and ongoing maintenance repairs necessitated by inmate vandalism. Per the terms and conditions of the current jail maintenance contract, these costs are fully billable to the County.  The Jail Blitz program 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.

 

Scope of Work: This contract provides preventive/scheduled and corrective/ unscheduled maintenance services for the Fulton County Jail Complex. 

 

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. 

 

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

 

Project Implications: The intent of this contract is to ensure the safety and security of County staff, visitors, and inmates.

 

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

 

Department Issues/Concerns: If this increase 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.
