Title
C34 - Front Entrance Security Enhancements County-Wide Contract Award
Description

This project is listed in the 2016/2017 Educational Facilities Plan. The award of a construction project in excess of $50,000.00 requires School Board approval.  The bid opening was held April 13, 2017 at 2:00 p.m.  The project had one (1) bidder that met the bid requirements.  

Gap Analysis

Several of our older buildings and schools were designed without the need for enhanced security measures that are required today.    As a result, several of our older campuses permit visitors with unencumbered direct access to the rest of the school through the main office area.  This project upgrade will enhance security by providing controlled access where visitors are first screened and then allowed access through electronically controlled entry ways. Security in these older facilities must be enhanced.

 

Previous Outcomes

Visitors have direct access to the entire campus through the main office with no restrictions on movement.

Expected Outcomes

This project will provide enhanced visitor control security at the administration buildings of our schools which serve as a single point of entry for most campuses.  Security will be increased as well as an additional layer of protection will be provided to our campuses.

Strategic Plan Goal

Ensure effective management of the organization, operations and facilities to maximize the use of resources; and promote a safe, efficient and effective learning environment for Clay County students.

Recommendation

School Board award the construction contract to Gary S. Bailey Construction Inc., the low bidder meeting all specifications.
