BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 18, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Contract Renewal with the Florida Department of Corrections
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
Statement of Issue: Approval of Contract Renewal for use of Inmate Services in County Parks.
Background: In FY 2004, Okaloosa County entered into the first contract with Okaloosa
County Correctional Institution (OCI) to provide inmate labor to support our Parks Department.
By contracting with OCI to provide a Corrections Officer, we 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 county wide and they continue to provide additional
manpower that has allowed us to finish projects in a timely manner.
The existing contract is nearing expiration and a new contract (# WS954) has been prepared. The
new contract is for one (1) year beginning March 12, 2015. The contract has a renewal option of
one (1) additional one (1) year period. Cost of the contract renewal is $57,497.00 which is
slightly lower than last year's amount. Funds for the contract renewal were identified in the Parks
FY 2015 budget.
Options: Approve/disapprove contract renewal with the Florida Department of Corrections.
Recommendations: Approve contract renewal #WS954 with the Florida Department of
Corrections and authorize Chairman to sign contract.
