As of October 3, 2023, a design team has been identified. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Commonwealth of Kentucky, Finance & Administration Cabinet, Division of Engineering & Contract
Administration (DECA) is seeking professional design services for the Department of Corrections (DOC) to
develop specifications and bid documents as well as contract administration to provide new Security Fence
at the Kentucky State Penitentiary (KSP).
This project is an absolute necessity to maintain KSP's perimeter security and viability for continued use as
the Commonwealth's only maximum security prison. Any breach in the security for outside perimeter fence
can cause escape of inmates. A study was performed by Detekion systems and a Budgetary Estimate for
a Hybrid Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (HPIDS) around the outer perimeter of Kentucky State
Penitentiary (KSP) was received. This system is to include approximately 1745ft fence mounted sensor
cables, approximately 880ft wall mounted sensor coils and uses both sensor coils and Dual tech IR/MW
sensors to secure the sally ports that can detect movement sending a signal and alarm back to a Central
Control Computer Station to prevent inmate escape. The installation of the fence and control system will
need to be planned in a manner to maintain operations of the maximum security facility. DECA reserves
the option to increase design services should additional funding become available.
