<br />Commission Minutes-May 7, 2001 2280
<br />
<br />Jeannette Stanton, Fargo, said she cannot make a case for preserving the jail, however, she
<br />believes the Sheriff's Residence should remain on the property. MOTION, passed
<br /> Mr. Wagner moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to select Jail Option C
<br /> and move forward with design and development based on thatoption;
<br /> and further, to enter into a sat fee pmfeasional services contract with
<br /> Foss Associates on this p;oject; and make a commitment to consider
<br /> the re-use of jail materials aa much as possible and work diligently to
<br /> find someone who could re-use the Sheriff's Residence, expending u p
<br /> to $45,000 toward the cost of relocating It because it would cost
<br /> approximately that amount to demolish it. Discussion: Mrs,
<br /> Schneider asked about the time frame for work to begin on the current
<br /> jail site, and Mr. Hoganaon responded that work could begin by late
<br /> fall or early winter as the schedule for completion of the new jail is
<br /> March of next year, with occupancy shortly thereafter. On roll call
<br /> vote, the motion carried with four members voting "Aye" and Mrs.
<br /> Schneider opposing.
<br />
<br />JAIL, Chanoe order aocroved for sally no~ doors
<br />Bonnie Johnson provided a letter from Rick Hoganson, of Foss Associates, regarding an
<br />alternate bid for the new jail construction for hydraulic bi-folding doom in the sally port, instead
<br />ofthe roll-up overhead doom. The amhitect's letter indicates that one of the barter'Rs of the bi-
<br />fold doom is the speed of operation, which may improve the level of security by not having the
<br />doom remain open for as long a time. Also, the manufacturer suggests that the bi-fold door, or
<br />Electric Power Door product, will provide four milJJon opening and closing cycles, compared to
<br />200,000 for a comparable overhead door, resulting in reduced maintenance and repair costs,
<br />as well as eventual replacement.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Johnson consulted with other correctional facilities who are using bi-fold doom, and she
<br />found R to be the preferred type. One problem, however, has been that the doom can crush
<br />cars if they enter at the wrong time. This was a situation of driver error and can be corrected
<br />by using a traffic light system for entering and exiting the sally port.
<br />
<br />The bid alternate was estimated at $5(~,000 in the genera[ contractor's bid, and it would cost
<br />approximately $5,000 for additional electrical and steel support work. Michaer Montplaisir,
<br />County Auditor, provided a financial summary of the jail project budget through April 24, 2001.
<br />To date, revenues have reached $10 million and expenditures total about $5 million. He
<br />reported a balance of $241,598 in the $300,000 contingency line item. MOTION, passed
<br /> Mm. Schneider moved and Mrs. Serum seconded to approve the bid
<br /> alternate in the amount of $5S,O00 to upgrade the security door
<br /> located in the aa[lyport of the new Cass County Jail, to be paid from
<br /> the Jail contingency line item. On roll call vote, the motion carried
<br /> unanimously.
<br />
