(WW0845)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County is in the process of applying for funding in the amount of $80 million from the Board of State and
Community Corrections (“BSCC”). Similar to last year’s Senate Bill (SB) 1022 program, use of the new SB 863
program is proposed to build a new housing unit at the West County Detention Facility (“WCDF”) campus that
replaces the use of existing beds at the Martinez Detention Facility with appropriate high security housing, along with
additional space for reentry and mental health treatment programs currently unavailable to the high-security
population. The expansion project entails the development of approximately 2.3 acres at the WCDF and is estimated
to consist of an approximately 132,000 square foot (building areas) facility with 416 beds at total cost of about $89
million and to be completed in spring of 2020. When completed, the expansion will offer facilities and programs to
help prepare inmates for reentry into society as well as supporting outpatient medical, recreational, and minor
administrative facilities.
Architectural and engineering (A/E) and other consulting services are underway to prepare the BSCC funding
application. This will consist primarily, but is not limited to: updated needs assessment and programming for inmate
programs, particularly to address AB 109 and mentally ill offenders; development of space requirements based on
that assessment, and associated cost estimating; concept floor plan and elevations rendering; and funding application
writing services to address specific requirements of the grant.
Amendment No. 1 to KMD's agreement will provide more detailed planning, development, and design for the
Reentry Programs, Workforce Readiness, and Family Reunification areas. This includes developing the floor plans of
these support spaces to the same level of detail as the Housing Units to facilitate a better understanding of the
relationship between the Conceptual Design plans and Program elements. This additional work is required to enhance
the Agency's application proposal and the chances for Senate Bill 863 funding.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If Amendment No. 1 is not approved, this will negatively impact the County's submittal of the grant application and
lesson the possibility of the County receiving the SB 863 funding.
