Prison Board approves $2.47 million roof contract, perimeter detection amendment and HVAC upgrades
Summary
The Chester County Prison Board of Inspectors approved multiple contracts and administrative motions at its March 19 meeting, including a $2,467,604.68 roof replacement contract with Weatherproofing Technologies, an $18,000 amendment for perimeter intrusion detection materials, and a $133,000 HVAC upgrade for the work-release facility.
At the March 19 meeting of the Chester County Prison Board of Inspectors, the board approved several procurement actions and routine motions including minutes and agenda adoption, new hires, and multiple construction and security contracts.
Laurie Giannetti, deputy director of procurement and senior buyer, presented two procurement items. The first was an amendment with Montgomery Technology Systems for $18,000 to provide additional materials and services for the perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS); Giannetti said the amendment begins April 9 and continues until the work is complete. The second was a contract with Weatherproofing Technologies for $2,467,604.68 to replace the next phase of the jail roof; Giannetti said that contract begins March 19 and continues until completion.
Separately, the board approved a $133,000 contract with Gondelli Brothers for HVAC upgrades to the work-release facility aimed at improving airflow. A motion to approve the contracts passed with the board's recorded voice vote of "aye" for those present; specific vote tallies or roll-call votes were not provided in the meeting record.
Other routine approvals during the meeting included adoption of the agenda, approval of the minutes from the Feb. 19 meeting and approval of six hires in human services. The board also approved a bid award described in the agenda as a prison basement HVAC X-ray (bid details were presented by procurement staff; the winning vendor for the specific basement HVAC X-ray bid was noted in procurement remarks as Gondelli Brothers for related HVAC work).
The board did not attach additional conditions to the contracts during the meeting. Procurement staff noted a vendor is addressing touch-panel outages related to the PIDS rollout; the Montgomery Technology Systems amendment was described as providing funds for materials and services to complete that system.
