SUBJECT: HOUSING AND FIRE DAMAGE RECONSTRUCTION AT CLAYTON REHABILITATION CENTER
Authorization No. 0928-WH222A,B and C,O
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) Bac group ust cat on
I. RECOMMENDATION _
Find that an emergency exists and authorize the Director of General Services to proceed in
the most expeditious manner, pursuant to. Section 20134 of the Public Contract Code, to
construct new housing for approximately 60 inmates and to reconstruct a fire-damaged
building at the Clayton Rehabilitation Center, and declare that the project, as an emergency, .
is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
Construction of new housing is funded and reconstruction of the fire-damaged building will
be almost entirely funded from insurance proceeds, which will be available on completion of
the reconstruction.
III. BACKGROUND
A. '•. The emergency is created by the overcrowding of inmates in the Martinez Detention
Facility and the need to transfer greater numbers of inmates to Clayton.
B. To protect the health and welfare of staff and inmates, actions are required
immediately to decrease the overcrowding at the Martinez facil.ity.. The
Sheriff-Coroner recommends that the Board declare an emergency, and that it
proceed to immediately construct new buildings and reconstruct a fire-damaged
building at Clayton to house approximately 60 inmates of non-violent
misdemeanor/light felony classifications to relieve the overcrowding, thus
leaving the secure beds at the Martinez Detention Facility for those requiring
the greater security. Reconstruction of the fire-damaged laundry building is
necessary to support the housing functions.
C. The population in the Detention Facility has averaged 580.. in a structure designed
to accommodated 386, including up to 130 in the intake area. designed for 52. Such
overcrowding increases danger to the staff and inmates, 'and it is imperative to�
initiate immediate action to decrease the population and reduce the potential for
such dangers.
D. The normal design, bid, construction process for this work is estimated to
require ten to twelve months, The Sheriff-Coroner considers such delay
unacceptable. It is possible to bypass the normal ' procedures for bidding the
project and accomplish the project in approximately four to five months through
the provisions of Section 20134 of. the Public Contract Code when the appropriate
findings of an emergency are made by the Board.
