BACKGROUND:

In April of 2014 historic flooding and a subsequent explosion left the Escambia County Jail's Central Booking and Detention Facility unusable. Since the Escambia County Main Jail did not possess the capacity needed to house all of the inmates that were in custody, the Escambia County Jail was forced to utilize bed space held by the Division of Community Corrections at the Work Release Facility. Since the Work Release program is operated utilizing a restricted fund, it was decided that the Escambia County Jail would remit payment equal to the revenue that would have been generated for the program if they would have had the bed space available to utilize. The Escambia County Jail remits $20/day per inmate for those inmates housed at the Work Release Facility. The Corrections Department would like to request a change order in the amount of $1,454,130 to cover the fees related to housing inmates at the Work Release Facility for a period of 12 months. It is anticipated that the additional funding requested will provide the needed bed space for Escambia County Jail inmates until the end of Fiscal Year 2016-2017.

Funding is available in Internal Service Fund 501; Building Cost Center 140836; Object Code 53401.
