SCOPE OF SERVICES&WORK PLAN ORANGE COUNTY,North Carolina <br /> Jail Inmate Projections&Facility Program <br /> Based upon thei nitial "baseline" calculations of inmatea veraged aily populations for the <br /> projection years,an inmate "management factor",applicable specifically to Orange County's jail <br /> population, together with average length of stay (ALOS) calculations; will be determined to <br /> identify the corresponding inmate bed requirements for each of the same years. <br /> Additional projection scenarios will be developed that extend beyond the "baseline" and <br /> incorporate conditions and/or circumstances that although not present at this time may occur in <br /> the future that will impact the jail inmate projections. In other words, in addition to the <br /> "baseline" projection will be a "moderate" or middle level growth scenario and an "aggressive" <br /> scenario that assumes more profound increases in both County and jail populations. <br /> The basis for these additional growth scenarios will be supported with data and presented to <br /> and reviewed by the Project Manager/Team/Work Group (PM/T/WG) for their eventual <br /> selection and approval. <br /> Following the identification of the preferred growth (projection) scenario,a n inmate population <br /> profile will be developed that breaks down the total inmate bed requirements identified into <br /> "type" or security classification. The "types" will include, butn of be limited to noto my male <br /> and female beds but also, sentenced and pretrial, youthful and adult, minimum and <br /> maximum/high risk, and special management which may include those with diagnosed medical <br /> or psychiatric conditions. <br /> PHASE 2.FACILITY PROGRAM <br /> In this context, Facility Program is typically defined as "a statement of the requirements for a <br /> building project". The information developed and documented in the Facility Program moves <br /> the project/process from a general definition of the bed needs identified in Phase 1, to a more <br /> detailed presentation of how those specific needs will be met. The Facility Program describes all <br /> spaces that are to be included in the facility, and the activities that are intended to take place in <br /> those spaces. It also defines in narrative format, graphically, and where appropriate in detailed <br /> matrix or spreadsheet format,t he size and relationship between the many specific spaces to be <br /> included within the facility. More importantly, with appropriate input from the owner and user <br /> throughout the process, it will becomet heo wner's communication of instructions to the <br /> architect,once selected,that will enable him/her to begin design development. <br /> Facility Mission&Purpose <br /> To effectively kick-off the facility programming effort it will be important to develop a consensus <br /> statement that describes the new jail facility's operational philosophy, security objectives, <br /> service requirements and management objectives which will "drive" the development of the <br /> program that follows. As well,general design expectations should be discussed, not the least of <br /> which should include the State of North Carolina Design Standards and Operational <br /> Requirements for Local Detention Facilities, the enhancement of operational effectiveness, and <br /> the efficient utilization of staff. <br /> An organized and facilitated work session will be conducted with representatives of the County, <br /> the Sheriff's Department and others(as suggested by the County and the Sheriff)wherein issues <br /> and priorities will be documented and discussed in a manner that results in the consensus <br /> statement suggested. <br /> Solutions for Local Government,Inc. 2 <br />
