TI_SHF140 - $1,000,000 for the Oxbow Jail Kitchen Remodel and Equipment Replacement
The Oxbow Jail is coming up on thirty (30) years old. This kitchen is in desperate need of repairs as it is reaching its end of life. Constant failures to equipment. Daily clogs to kitchen drains keep our maintenance staff busy. This kitchen is a vital component to our inmate operations. The endless amount of abuse that the kitchen equipment receives is causing it to fail and be beyond repair. Water damage over the years needs to be fixed, tile flooring needs complete replacement. We are at a point where renovations and equipment replacements are a must. With these upgrades, it would give us a better kitchen layout that would aid in food preparation and clean up. This project would include upgrading and replacing the following: Floor drains, Clean outs, Tile Flooring, Stainless Wall Inserts, Stoves, Overs, Sinks Wash Basins, Faucets, Dishwasher, Refrigerators, Freezers, Hood Vents. These upgrades would allow us to have a fully functioning kitchen to use while we are remodeling the kitchen at the ADC.
TI_SHF141 - $77,499 for the Oxbow Jail Laundry Area AC Unit Addition When the Oxbow Jail Laundry area was set up, there were no AC units installed to keep the area cool during the hot summer months. We currently use a portable fan in an attempt to cool the area while staff members and inmates work there on a daily basis. A roof AC unit needs to be added in order to provide adequate cool air during the hot summer months. Thus providing a better environment to all those that work in this area.
TI_SHF142 - $77,299 for the Oxbow Jail Trash Compactor Upgrade and Replacement The current trash compactor at the Oxbow Jail is showing extreme signs of wear and is in need of immediate replacement. Leaks on the hydraulic lines and pump need regular attention. Steel panels need replacement as they are rusting out. After 30 years of continuous abuse, this trash compactor has arrived at the end of its useful life. Over the past years we have seen an increasing the amount of garbage and waste leaving the facility. This is attributed to the excessive daily cleaning and sanitizing being performed to mitigate germ spreading. With this generation of this additional waste, the Oxbow Trash Compactor has been subjected to run additional cycles. This has caused more wear and tear, resulting in additional breakdowns, leaks, bent parts and down times. In order to keep up with the current demand for trash removal, we are needing to replace this unit.
TI_SHF143 - $475,000 for the Oxbow Jail Laundry Equipment Upgrade and Replacement The current laundry equipment is old, out dated and not keeping up with our current demands to launder inmate clothing. All laundering for both Jails is conducted at the Oxbow Jail. We need to upgrade to a more dependable and efficient system. Our current lint collection system that operates in conjunction with our dryers has reached its end of life. It doesn’t adequately remove and collect the lint from the dryers, thus posing a fire hazard. This project would include upgrading and replacing the following: 4 washers, 4 dryers and the lint collection system.
