This project provides for the planning of a Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF) Refresh project to include medical unit modifications and remediation of clogged vents in inmate cells. Medical unit modifications include moving a nurse and correctional officer station to improve sight lines, increase female inmate capacity, increase inmate holding cell space, and other adjustments needed to accommodate implementation of the new State mandated Medication Assisted Treatment program. The project also provides for paint throughout the facility and carpet replacement in administrative areas as well as the purchase and installation of ligature-resistant shelving.

Funding to support medical unit modification and vent remediation implementation is programmed in FY24 and FY25. Repainting the facility and carpeting is programmed for FY26 and FY27. Purchase and installation of shelving is programmed for FY26.

Cost increase due to the addition of the purchase and installation of ligature-resistant shelving to project scope.

MCCF opened in 2003 and has had limited capital improvements despite significant wear and tear. The proposed improvements are required to maintain the facility in good repair and address operational needs. Medical modifications are required to provide a safe and secure environment for inmates receiving medical services to include adequate medical and security supervision. Medical modifications are also required to accommodate new treatment requirements associated with the State mandated Medication Assisted Treatment program. Vent remediation is required to provide adequate air quality for the inmate population. Ligature-resistant shelving is required to prevent inmate suicides.

FY26 supplemental in G.O. Bonds for the amount of $481,000.
