Any question received after this deadline may not be answered Project Background The St. Charles County Construction Management Department is seeking firms to submit Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design and engineering services, preparation of construction documents, and construction administration services for the renovation of the existing corrections facility. These improvements are necessary in that no less than 60%, and up to 90% of those incarcerated have diagnoses pursuant to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (hereinafter DSM-5) and have mental illness and substance abuse issues at the time of incarceration. Additionally, mitigating the transmission of infectious diseases has changed the use of space for convicted persons and pre-trial detainees, which necessitates this work. Bail reform in Missouri, implemented prior to 2020, has resulted in inmates with more minor offenses moving quickly to discharge. For those individuals not moving quickly to discharge, incarceration after conviction occurs, for the most part, in the long-term detention areas on the 3rd Floor. Those individuals are charged with felonies or serious misdemeanors. A snapshot in March 2023 showed that 86% of the detainees and inmates in the St. Charles County Department of Corrections have DSM5 diagnoses. Space to ensure that these inmates are able to be seen by a judge in a timely manner and to ensure access to health, mental health and substance abuse services require renovation of the space. The original design of the building, more than thirty years ago, was for incarceration of a maximum of 218 individuals at a time when individuals with mental illness and substance abuse issues would have been transferred to the State of Missouri, Department of Mental Health. Those beds are no longer available, and the local jails are required to serve this population. Additionally, serious mental illness often results in delays in the judicial system reaching a final adjudication on charges against these individuals. The County Department of Corrections must be prepared to provide incarceration and detention in some of these cases for two or three years. The County has engaged Dewberry Associates as a part of the Owner's Representative team. Dewberry is working with the County to develop programming documentation and will create concept level drawings and narrative for the new fifth floor kitchen, loading dock, and storage areas, as well as new housing unit spaces on the third floor. Dewberry is not permitted to submit a proposal for design and engineering services as contemplated in this RFQ. The current facility has a kitchen and loading dock/storage area located on the third floor. The intent is to relocate this kitchen and convert the vacated space and surrounding area to medically supported mental health and substance abuse housing and support space. The work described must be constructed and completed by the end of 2026 to meet federal funding guidelines.
