Renovation of a detention facility in Kuna, Idaho. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

The Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC) has received funding for the upgrade/replacement of the current aging PA and door control systems at the Idaho State Correctional Center in Kuna, ID. The problems with the existing system are posing an unacceptable risk to the life/safety of both staff and residents. The current system is subject to operational issues, such as difficulty communicating with staff and residents, doors not opening or closing properly, and command interface problems. A new system is needed facility-wide, including wiring, devices, PLC cabinets, door stations, and touchscreen control interfacing. Any proposed system solution will interface with the new Edwards fire alarm system currently being installed at the facility under DPW project #20061. This will result in a cohesive site-wide solution that may be duplicated in other facilities and institutions. This project will be tentatively scheduled to start the design phase in January 2024, with sub bidding and construction to commence in Summer/Fall 2024.
