Demolition, site work, renovation and addition to a detention facility in Albany, New York. Completed plans call for the addition of a detention facility; for the demolition of a detention facility; for the renovation of a detention facility; and for site work for a detention facility.

Albany County is requesting sealed proposals for Construction Management Services for Renovations, Additions, and Site Work at the Capital District Juvenile Secure Detention. The Capital District Juvenile Secure Detention Facility (CDJSDF) is a multi-county secure youth detention center located in Albany NY. The facility was financed and constructed by the Capital District Youth Center, Inc. in 1997 with a single addition in 2000. The 30,000sf, single story building is in good overall condition with adequate spaces for its current use and population. The building sits on a constrained 4.16-acre site which makes additional building volume challenging to accommodate. The facility is administered by the Capital District Youth Center, Inc., operated by Berkshire Farm Center for Youth and owned by Albany County. The existing building is in good condition but requires typical maintenance and system replacement for a building of its type and age (Re: facility assessment). The additional security requirements of the SSD classification will require some level of renovation to all spaces throughout the facility. The additional bed needs and associated program space will require major renovations to some area of the existing facility as well as multiple additions to the facility (Re: Concept Design). The facility will need to remain open during the duration of construction. Complex phasing will be required to maintain facility operational and security requirements during the project. At this time, two separate construction phases are anticipated. In addition to the facility conditions assessment findings and the new program shown in the concept design layout the new facility will need to meet the requirements set forth by the New York State Commission of Corrections (SCOC), New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the Albany County Sheriff. The County anticipates performing the following projects at the Juvenile Detention Facility: For a detailed description of the renovation needs of the existing facility and all of its systems please refer to the attached Building conditions assessment and concept floor plan. Major facility wide components include: o Security Electronics & Control System o Finishes & Fixture Replacements/ Upgrades (tamper resistant, anti-ligature) o Mechanical Maintenance Items o Installation of New Fire Suppression System o Detention Door Replacements (all bedrooms) Major areas of renovations: o Existing eight bed pod o Existing Medical area o Existing locker area o Existing Library o Intake Please refer to concept design floorplan for more information on proposed addition extents and locations.
