Agenda Text
The Board is requested to suspend the rules and approve Budget Ordinance Amendment 26BDD086 appropriating $1,379,000 from General Fund fund Balance for Facility Management at the Durham County Detention Center; as well as approving year-one of a five-year contract with TKC Management Services and authorizing the County Manager to execute subsequent renewals not to exceed $6,895,000.00. Contract years 2-5 will be budgeted during the annual budget process.
Durham County General Services and the Durham County Sheriff’s Office collaboratively solicited bids for a five-year facility maintenance and janitorial services contract for the Durham County Detention Center. On a daily basis, the Durham County Detention Center houses an average of 450 detainees. Approximately 100 staff members and contractors work in the detention center on a daily basis. The building has a complex infrastructure to meet the daily needs of the detainees and employees - including, but not limited to, plumbing (toilets, showers, sinks), heat and air conditioning, fire suppression systems, daily laundry services and more than 1500 meals served per day. All of these services are governed by state health and jail regulations and ACA accreditation standards. Recently, these major systems underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation to sustain the life, safety and security of the building. TKC Management Services will provide facility maintenance, warranty management, janitorial services and regular preventive maintenance as outlined in their proposal. This contract will transfer the building maintenance responsibilities from General Services to TKC Management Services, the lowest qualified bidder for this scope of work.
