SUBJECT: Clayton Rehabilitation Center Fencing
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Make findings that an emergency situation exists at the Clayton Rehabili-
tation Center and installation and replacementof perimeter fencing is
necessary to reduce the danger to life or property in the community;
direct the Public Works Director to proceed with the project in the most
expeditious manner pursuant to Section 20134 of the Public Contract Code
and enter into any necessary contracts and declare that as an emergency,
the project is not subject to the provision of the California Environ-
mental Quality Act.
BACKGROUND
The Sheriff-Coroner has recommended that to reduce the danger to life and
property in the community adjacent to the Rehabilitation Center that the
funded project to replace the perimeter fence with a security fence be
authorized to proceed on an emergency basis .
Overcrowding at the Martinez Detention facility has caused an increase in
average population at the Clayton Center from 90 to 190 comprised of
approximately 90 Dercent felons without a commensurate increase in security
measures; this has increased the danger to the community from potential
walk-aways. In addition, the limited security provisions increase the
incidence of smuggling drugs, alcohol and other contraband into the
Center with resultant hazards for staff and inmates.
The normal design, bid, construction process for installation of the
fencing project is estimated to require five to six months. The Sheriff-
Coroner considers such delay unacceptable to both the department and the
community. It is possible to bypass the normal procedures for bidding
the project and accomplish the project by the middle of November through
the provisions of Section 20134 of the Public Contract Code when the
appropriate findings of an emergency are made by the Board.
It is recommended that the Board make such findings; direct Public Works
to proceed with the project; and enter into any necessary contracts; and
declare that, as an emergency, the project is not subject to the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code 21080) .
