AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Jail
Painting and Plumbing Retrofit
MEETING DATE: May 19, 1993
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the pians and specifications for
the above project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of furnishing all labor, materials,
tools and equipment to complete the painting and plumbing
retrofit of the Public Safety Building jail at 230 West Elm
Street. The work includes the removal of the existing
paint from jail interior walls, ceilings, floors, and interior metal surfaces;
preparation, priming and painting of those interior walls and surfaces; plumbing,
including changing valves and both supply and waste piping, and reworking existing
plumbing deficiencies, and other ,ncidental and related work, all as shown on the
plans and specifications for the above project.
The Public Safety Building jail, built in 19G8, has had ongoing problems with the
plumbing for years. The patchwork and piecemeal repairs that have been done over
those 25 years are now causing maintenance problems and must now be upgraded.
Replacement sink and toilet valves and replacement toilets are almost impossible to
find, and the "homemade" remedies we've attempted are not holding up. Because of
these plumbing problems, one cell has been unusable for the last two years.
The jail paint is peeling, deteriorated, and has been vandalized throughout the
entire jail facilities. Several layers of latex paint, in a variety of colors, have
been applied over the years. It has been worn, peeled and vandalized to the point
where new vandalism to paint cannot be detected and assessed to the appropriate
prisoner. A new, more durable, epoxy paint system needs to be applied now after the
numerous old layers are removed and the surface adequately prepared.

It is staff's recommendation that both plumbing and paint problems be corrected at
the same time so closing of the jail can be kept to a minimum.
