RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Correctional Technologies, Inc., in the amount of $350,000 to purchase anti-ligature beds for the County detention facilities, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase will be funded with Facility Lifecycle Improvement Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff's Office has specified these single beds 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 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 single 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 beds from Correctional Technologies, Inc.
