BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner with Correctional Technologies, Inc., in the amount of $750,000 to purchase anti-ligature bunk beds for the County detention facilities, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Facility Life Cycle Improvement Program (FLIP) Budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff's Office has specified these bunks for installation throughout County detention facilities for standardization and consistency of maintenance. They were selected by the Sheriff's Office because they are detention grade, anti-ligature, durable and easily cleaned. They are also flame retardant, tamper proof and can handle a 2000lb static load. These bunk beds are manufactured out of polyethylene material that meets industry standards, can withstand the rigors of a detention facility and are constructed in a fashion that does not allow for ligatures to be attached. This is a key function for suicide prevention.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

By securing the purchase order with Correctional Technologies, Inc., the County will have the opportunity to install a consistent bunk bed standard while conducting maintenance and module renovations at the various detention facilities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will be unable to purchase Cortech bunk beds from Correctional Technologies, Inc.
