Renovation of a detention facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Design plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

This project would include building construction, equipment, and related campus modifications to provide additional security and safe delivery of food, supplies, and educational programming. Having our food service on site will be more efficient and cost effective than having the food catered and transported to our campus. Our warehouse is currently housed at the PAC building located next to old city hall on Civic Center Drive, and this building would be beneficial to the City for a variety of other uses if our warehouse were removed. As we continue to strive to bring additional programs to our offenders our existing secure classroom availability within the facility is often at its capacity. Constructing additional classrooms would allow us to provide a more diverse and varied set of programs to our population. Taking the opportunity to build a new brick and mortar single structure that houses our kitchen, warehouse, and three classrooms would be beneficial in a variety of ways. There would be cost savings related to 5% architect fees, the fire suppression system, air condition system, and electrical systems by constructing one building rather than three separate buildings over time. The brick and mortar building would create a permanent structure that would benefit the city over the long-term. This building would also be more energy efficient and easier to maintain than a metal building. The cost of this project was based on a 13,000 square foot structure including a kitchen, warehouse and three classrooms at $245 per square foot and includes an estimated cost of $1.25 million for kitchen equipment. This project is included in the city's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 25, 2022, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
