A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

P a g e | 6

A.1 Current TJJD Challenges The current TJJD state operated facilities are experiencing challenges ranging from outdated or inadequate facilities, demand peaks, and staff shortages. The most significant issue is recruiting and retaining existing staff to manage and operate facilities. Historically state juvenile justice facilities have been in rural, sparsely populated areas, with a small staffing market. These decisions to locate away from city centers have led to staffing shortages upwards of 50%, compromising facility operations and safety.

A.2 Project Purpose

To address staffing shortages and improve treatment outcomes, TJJD is building two new facilities. This facility will house 104 youth in a secure, therapeutic environment to improve the mental health the juvenile population.

A.3 Project Description and Scope This document details the needs of a new building for juveniles with mental health issues. The functional areas include:

• Security control areas at the gatehouse and Regulation Safety Unit;

• Administration and training for staff support;

• Juvenile support areas for public visitation, educational, vocational, recreational, health, food services, residential housing; and

• Building services for maintenance and warehousing needs.

Features that are unique to this facility include:

• Food delivery at the housing units rather than a central dining room;

• A Regulation Safety Unit designed to remove juveniles from the housing units for more intensive observation, address behavioral, or mental health crisis issues; and

• Recreational amenities tailored to the population with the objective to reduce conflicts, and provide more opportunities for merit-based activities.

SITE NEGOTIATIONS are in progress. Please focus on (2) Sites - One in SE DFW Area and One in NW Houston Area. Site usable area is approximately 30 Acres. The Selected AE firm will get all site information obtained to date including due diligence that is being done.

B. FACILITY PROGRAMMING PROCESS

P a g e | 8

A proven facility programming process was used to ensure that the facility's design aligns with operational needs, budget constraints, and stakeholder priorities.

1. INITIATION AND DATA GATHERING

The project began with validating the scope, confirming budget and schedule parameters, and forming the steering committee. Data gathering includes site visits to other facilities, stakeholder questionnaires, and interviews. Key data resources such as the TFC space guidelines informed the space programming.

2. ANALYSIS

The preliminary programming and space needs projections are based on the data gathered and stakeholder input, staff projections, and changes in programs. The analysis includes review of the pros and cons of recent juvenile justice facilities visited in Salt Lake City and San Diego. Key takeaways from these site visits was the integration of exterior space and dining areas into the housing units, ideas for incentive and recreational programs, and operational efficiencies such as the need for an integrated security access controls. With input from the steering committee, we developed the preliminary goals, facts, conceptual ideas and programmatic needs. This analysis was the foundation for the next phase of the project, the Visioning Synthesis.

P a g e | 9

3. VISIONING SYNTHESIS

Visioning synthesis is achieved through workshops where final goals are set, final conceptual ideas are generated, methods are developed to control the project scope and project priorities are established. This is the phase in the process for "critical thinking”. Using the information produced in the previous phases, and with a great deal of input from stakeholders, we start to ask “what if…” and “how about…” to generate project goals and concepts. At the same time, we will explore different options for shared or combined space, explore how space can be used more efficiently, and balance these against programmatic needs. It is the planning team’s responsibility to develop a space program that balances the budget with the stated needs.

4. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Next, Broaddus Planning’s approach to complex facility planning projects is to finalize the goals, concepts, facts and needs developed through the previous phases. Once the project direction is confirmed, we continue to evaluate the conceptual ideas that were generated during the workshops. We evaluated innovative concepts against practical constraints, such as budget and operational requirements. The culmination of this phase is the vetting of space requirements, the development of a detailed conceptual cost estimates and the finalization of guiding principles.

5. REFINEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION

Now, with a defined direction and a preferred conceptual direction, a draft facility program or “Basis of Design” document is developed for review and comment. The draft programming document has finalized goals, concepts, facts, needs, project schedule, room criteria, and conceptual relationship or work flow diagrams. The more detailed conceptual cost estimate is included for further review. Final comments are incorporated into the document and the final document is issued.

The process resulted in a detailed space program, guiding principles, a conceptual cost estimate, and a draft facility program document for review.

E. DESIGN PARAMETERS

P a g e | 18

E.2 Civil and Site Requirements

Site Investigations:

Since a site has not been determined for the proposed development it is difficult to access the site’s needs from a drainage, water quality, and flood plain perspective. Civil requirements will be subject to the site selected for this new building. Due diligence on the sites selected is being completed by a third party company. The studies should be consulted when developing the site. The construction cost estimate assumes a green field site with cut and fill balance and compactable soil.

Any improvements will need to adhere to the governing jurisdiction’s detention and water quality requirements.

Typically, increases to the existing impervious coverage of a site, may trigger detention requirements. Water quality may be a requirement due to the nature of program’s use. Once a site has been determined, further drainage, detention, and water quality analysis will be required in order to properly determine the program’s requirements.

Site Security

The building as envisioned will be the first line of security with a perimeter fence as the secondary line of security. The site will be zoned for site security with the visitor parking outside of the secured area. The secured area will start at the building entrance with a perimeter fence consistent with juvenile justice facilities and access gates for a loop road for deliveries and access to staff parking. The perimeter fencing will have sensors that monitor tampering tied to the control room in the gatehouse. The site will be secured with perimeter fencing and electronic gate access, with call button and card reader.

Vehicular Access

All driveway locations must comply with the governing jurisdiction’s driveway spacing and design requirements.

In addition, all driveway’s will need to meet minimum fire access requirements. A separate drive for staff/visitors and deliveries is recommend.

Pedestrian Access On-site pedestrian access will be from the parking areas to the central security controlled entry into the building. All staff and visitors will be required to enter through this entry.

Parking Requirements Parking numbers are based on the estimated number of staff and visitors; the number of spaces for ADA compliance and electric vehicles will need to be verified with the governing jurisdiction. Current numbers of spaces shown in the diagrams are 200 for staff and 50 for visitors.

Parking lot trees/landscape: islands to be located within certain distance within all parking spaces, with trees as required in parking lot islands. Size of the parking lot islands and distance of trees to parking spaces to be determined by jurisdiction requirements. If parking lot trees are not outlined in jurisdiction requirements, all parking spaces are to be located within 50’-0” of a tree.

Stormwater:

The due diligence reports will address the needs for stormwater requirements based on the jurisdiction of the site.

P a g e | 19

Floodplain The due diligence reports will address the needs for floodplain requirements based on the governing jurisdiction of the site.

Availability and Location of Utilities The selected site will have to have water and wastewater services. Specific capacities and tie in locations will be required to be verified during the site due diligence step in the development process. A comprehensive water and sewer study may be necessary to assess the existing water and/or sanitary sewer system and determine whether additional public improvements are necessary.

Platting and Zoning The proposed site must be properly entitled to allow the proposed use. The site must be considered a legal lot in order to be allowed to have water and wastewater services. This may be achieved either by being located within an approved subdivision or through some type of platting exemption process. All platting activities will be regulated by the governing jurisdiction in which the site is located in.

Landscape and Tree Selection

The landscape material and tree requirements shall comply with the area’s jurisdiction. The governing jurisdiction will determine the species and minimum caliper of trees, shrubs, and groundcover.

All existing trees on the selected site shall be surveyed and identified on plans. If tree removal is necessary, this mitigation shall meet the jurisdiction requirements.

Material is to be drought tolerant and low water requirements, prioritizing native species when possible.

Additionally, low maintenance design and plant species are desired by the client.

Trees are not recommended in outdoor areas used by the youth and must not hinder sight-lines at the perimeter of the building or from the gatehouse to visitor parking area.

Screening/Buffering

Screening and buffering will be defined by the governing jurisdiction. Screening may be required at detention ponds, adjacent land uses, loading docks, utilities, mechanical equipment, trash encloser, etc.

Screening of the parking lot may also be required.

Screening will be required at the Sallyport to ensure there is no visibility from the visitor parking area. The sallyport will be within the secured area.

Irrigation Requirements

All new planting areas to be irrigated and scheduled by a central controller. The controller will have multiple cycle start capacity and will be equipped with a rain and freeze sensor shut-off device. All sprinkler head spacing will be designed for head-to-head coverage and minimize overspray and runoff.

The following component will be utilized, unless directed otherwise by client/owner:

•Drip irrigation to be used in all shrub beds.

•Spray irrigation to be used for turf areas.

•Two bubblers to be used for each new tree.

•If irrigation is not required by jurisdiction and not desired by client, new plant material is to be temporarily

P a g e | 20 irrigated to establish and ensure success.

Site Lighting

Site lighting will be provided at staff and visitor parking lots and pathway lighting.

Site Recreation Amenities

The Project A/E is charged with the responsibility of establishing the final building configuration, massing, and layout to achieve the design objectives provided within the POR. Position of the building and site elements need to achieve the access, security, and flow requirements for the site while taking into consideration site conditions.

The building has been envisioned as a single structure with a large interior courtyard for youth recreational purposes. The secured perimeter of the building would serve as the first line of security with a perimeter site fence as a secondary line of security. Other options for a campus layout for would be considered for the Mental

Health Youth facility. Clear sightlines to all areas of the secured area must be maintained.

The choice of building materials should be commiserate with a secured environment. To be considered, both interior and exterior, masonry construction with concrete tilt-up perimeter walls and masonry interior walls in the secured areas. The image of the facility should be less institutional and strive to meet an environment with ample natural light and calming color palette. Areas with hardened surfaces like the day room in the housing units, should have acoustical panels to reduce sound.
