body
DEPARTMENT: Department of Public Works
SUBMITTED BY: Richard Dublinski, Director
BACKGROUND:
In August 2022, the Police Department (Police) and Department of Public Works - Public Buildings Operation division (DPW-PBO) issued Bid 22-229 for the installation of a security fence and gates around the perimeter of the building and replacement of windows to enhance campus safety.
The work includes the demolition of the existing iron fence and swing gate on the Police campus and installation of new eight-foot high, heavy duty security fencing, two high-security automatic sliding fence gates, a high-security swing gate and restoration of all turf disturbed during the demolition and installation process. Also included in this bid is the demolition and removal and replacement of eight windows in the Records Division, located on the north side of the building with new high-security window frames and glazing.
DISCUSSION:
During the installation of a new gate with the security fence project, the contractor discovered the conduit run housing the main power and low voltage communication lines from the Police Department's 911 center to the current gate arm, badge access control and animal control facility was compromised as a result of ground settling and corrosion. The conduit run must be replaced.
DPW-PBO recommends the JOC contractor complete the necessary work due to concerns of power failures and to maintain the security project schedule. This work will incorporate new conduit runs, buried electrical boxes, wiring and tracer wire for locating in the future and will provide a hard-wired communication.
