In January 2009, Clackamas County began a project to develop a facilities master plan for Public Safety Operations. The prime objective of the master plan was to examine the current space holdings of the sheriff’s office, create options for consolidation and efficiency, prepare a priority list of improvements for the existing jail on the Red Soils campus and develop a list of all needs for the sheriff’s office for the next 10 years.

The master plan identified a number of improvements to the existing jail that would extend the usability of the facility for the next eight to 10 years. The existing facility has maximized both its growth and renovation potential. However, there are needs that must be met until a new facility can be built. Those needs stem from possible litigation, staff and inmate security measures and operational efficiencies.

By reoccupying abandoned cell areas, reconfiguring current uses and making use of existing storage spaces, most of the issue can be addressed. Some nonsecure uses will be accommodated outside the jail facility in the South Station building once the South Station operations are relocated to the Sunnybrook facility in 2011.

Proposals are being requested from interested firms or teams to provide Construction Manager/General Contractor services for the jail renovation project. Proposers may comment on any specification or requirement contained within the RFP that they feel limits competition in the selection of a proposer to perform the services defined.

Proposal evaluation and selection is scheduled for Feb. 25-March 3. If interviews are conducted, they will take place March 8-11. Notice of intent to award will be issued March 11.
