BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: December 3, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment with Florida Department of Corrections
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
Statement of Issue: Approval of Contract Amendment for use of Inmate Services in County
Parks.
Background: In FY 2004, Okaloosa County entered into the first contract with Okaloosa
Correctional Institution (OCI) to provide inmate labor to support the Parks Division. By
contracting with OCI to provide a Corrections Officer, staff can utilize a prison inmate squad
numbering up to five inmates, depending on availability, and provide additional labor at a low
cost. These crews have been utilized throughout the County and they continue to provide
additional manpower that has allowed the Parks Division to finish projects in a timely manner.
The existing contract began on March 12, 2012 and ends March 11, 2015. The contract is in its
final renewal year. This amendment will renew the existing contract from March 12, 2014 until
March 11, 2015. Cost of the contract amendment is $57,497.00 which is slightly lower than last
year's amount. Funds for the contract renewal were identified in the Parks FY 2014 budget.
Options: Approve/disapprove
Recommendations: Approve contract amendment #WS805 with the Florida Department of
Corrections and authorize Chairman to sign contract.
