EXHIBIT A City/County Jail Consolidation Study Corpus Christi/Nueces County, Texas PURPOSE The City/County Jail Consolidation Study shall be conducted to determine the following: 1. Whether there is sufficient space in the County Jail for the booking, holding and housing of both City and County prisoners, and whether the County can handle the special needs of City prisoners (45 percent of which are public intoxication offenses) with its current facility. 2. If the current County Jail does not have sufficient space to handle the City's prisoners, how much additional space will be required, what is the cost of construction of the additional space and what type of facility should be constructed to pro- vide the additional space. 3. What will be the operational cost of a combined facility and how should the cost be split among the City and County under a contractual agreement. 4. Will additional personnel be required by the County to operate a combined facility. APPROACH In performing the study, the consultant will perform a detailed inmate population profile to project the number and class of inmate to be detained in the future. The profile will also determine what propor- tion of the inmate population may be eligible for alternative release programs. The study will also investigate the feasibility of using various release alternative programs and their costs, to hold down the jail population and thus generate more jail space. WORK PLAPI The work will be conducted in three phases in coordination with and under the supervision of the City/County Jail Consolidation Study Committee. The Consultants will provide interim oral reports to the Committee at the end of Phases I and II, and a formal presen- tation and written report at the conclusion of Phase III. Additional meetings with the Committee will be held, as necessary, to accomplish the goals of the project. Each phase is outlined as follows: Phase I: Data Collection and Preliminary Analysis During this phase, the data required for inmate popu- lation projections and profiles will be collected and computed. A preliminary analysis will be con- ducted and a range of alternatives will be identi- fied and explored with the City/County Jail Consoli- dation Study Committee. Phase II: Facility and Operations Analysis The inmate profile and projections will be finalized during this phase and specific alternatives identi- fied by the Committee will be refined as to space and cost requirements. Phase III: Final Report and Presentation Upon review and approval of the results of Phase II, a draft report will be prepared for review by the City/County Jail Consolidation Study Committee. After review and comment, a final report will be prepared and submitted in a formal presentation to the clients.
