Renovation of a detention facility in Albany, Oregon. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

The renovation work will be primarily focused on the existing women's housing area within the Linn County Jail. The Linn County Sheriff's Office originally opened the current jail in May 1989 with 114 beds. By 1995 the rising inmate population, and the growing Linn County population, necessitated the addition of 20 beds to the existing housing unit. This was accomplished by double-bunking single bed cells. In January 1998 the East wing of the jail was opened, adding two 48-bed cellblocks, increasing the jail's capacity to 231 beds. Within the 231 beds, a 17-cell female-only housing unit allows for 32 female beds. The County has identified the need to expand the female housing capacity for many years. This renovation will add 22 additional dormitory-style beds into a single new housing unit, that will be developed by renovation of existing space within the jail facility.Based on programming and pre-design study (included as "Supplement A: Pre-Design Narrative & Diagrams") and subsequent preliminary work by DLR Group, the project will renovate an existing day-room area and include selective demolition, reconfiguration of ceilings, addition of skylights, reconfiguration / replacement HVAC systems for affected area, plumbing systems, electrical systems, low voltage and security systems, fire alarm systems, fire-protection systems, construction of detention hollow metal walls, window systems, door systems, hardware systems. Also included will be reconfigurations of windows and counter / equipment systems in the adjacent control room, and procurement and installation of detention furnishings. The County has selected DLR Group and its consultants as the architectural design and engineering team. They will collaborate with the CM/GC selected from this RFP and the County to form a complete project team. Successful collaboration between all parties will be crucial to achieve the desired design, stay within budget and schedule, and maintain high quality construction standards. The County's total construction budget, including all costs to be incorporated withing the GMP for construction, is approximately $2.3 million Any questions, objections, or comments regarding the RFP must be submitted in writing to the attention of Undersheriff Micah Smith at msmith@linnsheriff.org no later than January 14, 2025 at 4:00 PM Clarifications, whether verbal or in writing, do not change the contractual terms or procurement requirements of the RFP unless a formal amendment is issued by the County.
