1. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Background

Over the past few years, Bulloch County has been examining the Public Safety / Public Works site located on Highway

301 North. This site is the home of the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and Jail, the Bulloch County Correctional Institute, the Emergency Operations Center and 911 Services, and the Bulloch County Public Works Department. As the population of Bulloch County grows, all of these services will require additional space to effectively provide services. In 2024, a

Masterplan of the site was completed, followed by pre-design services for a future expansion of the Jail Facility. The resulting plan establishes 3 Phases that would expand the Jail and remove and replace the Correctional Institute. Certain

Public Works buildings would also be removed and would require replacement, but that was outside the scope of the completed study. The Jail Addition Study, which is attached as an exhibit, will serve as a starting point for the final design and development of the jail addition project.

Project Description

Phase I of the Jail Addition Study includes space programmed for:

o 160-bed general population – male housing unit o 128-bed female housing unit

It is important to note that the Study is conceptual in nature and will be further defined as to layout and location after a more detailed review and density studies are prepared by the architects & engineers who will be engaged for the project.

Site Characteristics

The Jail Addition Study was greatly informed by its site characteristics, which includes multiple buildings associated with the Sheriff’s Office and Jail, the Correctional Institute, and the Public Works Department. Certain existing buildings will need to be removed or relocated to clear space for the jail addition project. The following Site Investigation work has been performed by third party consultants:

o Master Site Plan o Jail Addition Study o Survey (boundary)

Project Design

The Jail Addition Study and the images presented are meant to give a high-level example of what the Project could look like, as it brings life to the new jail housing units. The imagery that is being shared is to give a sense of idea only, and the final designs will be determined during this phase of the development process. The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners and Sheriff’s Office will have final approvals over the design of the jail addition project.

Summary

The overall project is intended to be a collaborative effort between the Bulloch County Board of Commissioners and the

Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, and the prospective respondents to this RFQ should consider this to be an opportunity to demonstrate their vast level of experience to address each component.

Project Delivery Method

The delivery method for this Project will be Construction Manager at Risk Delivery method (CM/GC).

Project Budget

The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) or construction cost of the Project is estimated at $55,000,000.

The final SCL may be revised by the County due to final programmatic requirements, funding availability, or other circumstances.

Project Schedule

The Services are anticipated to commence by April 2026 with construction documents anticipated for completion in December 2026. The start of construction is contingent on the availability of funding. (The dates above are estimates which are subject to change. The fee structure for design professional services relative to the schedule and fee amounts will be agreed upon by the County and the firm selected to perform the Services (“Design Professional”) prior to the start of performing the Services.)
