PRESENTATION BY J -Ni PEASE & ASSOCIATES ON JAIL CONCEPTS: Mr. John
Duncan, Mr. John Hill, and Mr. Greg Pumphrey briefed the group on
two proposals they have developed for the jail expansion and
renovation. The designs presented take in the latest in technology
with an effort being made to have as many beds as possible with the
lowest costs. Mr. Pumphrey, the company's architect, stated they
had utilized a solid wall and solid line approach.
Scheme A: The kitchen area and booking area in the present jail
are small. The booking area and sallyport would be enlarged. A
medical area would be developed. The space currently used for an
outside exercising area could be used for future expansion. This
proposal offers 184 beds (22 -female; 20 -juvenile; 28 -work release;
96 -male; 18 -isolation). The breakdown for estimated costs is:
Sitework $ 260,000
16,500 S.F. New Construction 2,488,200
3,500 S.F. Renovated Existing Jail 491.400
Total Estimated Probable Cost $3,239,600
Scheme B: The kitchen and booking area would be reversed with the
kitchen being enlarged. All deliveries would occur in a secured
area. inmates would be brought into booking in a private area.
The public would be in an isolated section. The control room would
look into all male dorms and into the exercise area.
Sitework $ 260,000
18,000 S.F. New Construction $2,714,400
3,600 S.F. Renovated Existing Jail 505.440
Total Estimated Probable Cost $3.479.840
The dorm beds are evenly divided, they could be broken down into
smaller components (40 is the maximum amount of inmates per
quadrant; however, 32 is the maximum considered for these
proposals. Both schemes are for a one -level facility.
Gaston County has approved a pre -cast facility. Construction will
begin on August 2, 1995, and it should be completed in four or five
months.
