IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE MISTAKES AND PERHAPS SAVE COSTS, CAN THE BOC PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH DESIGN AND PLANNING?
Yes. The BOC encourages “pre-design” conferences after a design firm is hired but before beginning schematic design. These meetings typically involve key city or county staff and the architect, the State Fire Marshal, and BOC staff including the architectural plan reviewer, facility inspector, and (if state funded) the grant manager. In this way, standards issues/questions and design options can be discussed early in the process. Additional conferences can be held throughout the plan review process before construction begins. Units of local government (i.e., cities and counties) must perform careful and complete planning in order to build and operate safe and secure local detention facilities that meet applicable codes, standards and local needs. In addition, planning and design decisions have major operational cost implications (e.g., staffing and life cycle costs). Facility operational costs are generally 14 to 19 times the construction costs over a 30-year life cycle. Design decisio
