RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Norix Group, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $150,250 to purchase new desks and stools for the inmate cells at the Martinez Detention Facility.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$150,250. Budgeted FY 14/15, AB 109 Program funding.

BACKGROUND:

This purchase will allow the Office of the Sheriff to remove the larger wooden desks and plastic chairs from the cells at the Martinez Detention Facility (MDF), which can be used by inmates to manufacture weapons. The new metal desks are fully enclosed and tamper-resistant. The underside of desks are completely sealed to prevent the concealment of contraband. This purchase will hinder the inmates ability to manufacture weapons and hide contraband, which will provide a safer environment for the inmates and staff at the facility.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will not be able to acquire needed furniture items for inmates.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
