Taycheedah Correctional Institution Gower Intake Remodeling (Project No. 06F2F).
Request authority to increase the project budget and construct an Intake Remodeling Project at
Taycheedah Correctional Institution (TCI) at a total project cost of $225,000 GFSB-Facilities
Maintenance and Repair. This project will remodel the multi-purpose room in the Gower Hall
to include three strip cages and two holding areas with bench seating; construct two attorney
meeting rooms and an inmate restroom in the waiting area outside of this room; construct an
ADA-accessible shower in an existing closet area; provide a partition and shelving to separate
two work stations; and construct a strip cage to be used by inmates using the visiting room.
There is a need to relocate the A&E Intake area to a better location for improved efficiency and
security; with the needed facilities to accommodate the A&E Intake process. Presently inmates
are transported by various police departments to several buildings to be dropped off and picked
up. Having excessive amounts of vehicles entering the secure perimeter and traveling throughout
the institution is a security risk. Staff must travel from building to building to complete inmate
processing; this becomes very inefficient and time consuming. Moving the A&E Intake area to
the Gower Building would put it in the same building that houses the HSU, the Captains Office,
the Records Department and all movement into and out of the institution would be from one
central location. Remodeling this area would be cheaper than remodeling several areas in several
buildings. Medical screenings which are done in the housing units would be more expedient if
done in the HSU area. The same would apply to the Records Department if the inmate processing
was done in Gower.
Currently, intake inmates have to be quelled in the showers used by the general population which
greatly increases the risk spreading scabies, lice, etc. When these inmates are being quelled this
shuts down the shower areas for 119 inmates that are in this housing unit. In addition, privacy
for strip searches is inadequate as the present location allows for staff and inmate traffic through
this area, which is detrimental for confidentiality and security. Finally, the addition of two
attorney/interview rooms will assist greatly in the scheduling needs of the institution.

Lincoln Hills School Chiller Replacement (Project No. 06I1U). Request authority to construct
a Food Service Chiller Replacement Project at Lincoln Hills School (LHS) at a total project cost
of $178,900 General Fund Supported Borrowing – Facilities Maintenance and Repair. This
project would replace an existing chiller that can no longer be repaired and associated piping in
the Food Service Building that currently houses the LHS Health Services Unit.
Climate control of the HSU area is necessary for quality assurance, good patient outcomes and
work control environment. In order to maintain conditions which ensure safe and quality
products and prevent undesirable results, medications must be stored in a controlled
environment. LHS continues to be out of compliance with standards of the industry for quality
control and safe storage of pharmaceuticals. The med room temperatures in the late spring and
summer months routinely exceed 80 degrees and have reached 90 degrees. In addition, humidity
control is needed to ensure proper setup, application and performance of commonly used dental
materials such as amalgams and composites. Adverse outcomes can occur in a hot, humid
environment. Basic first aid recommendations and treatment of various medical conditions
require immediate removal of the patient of hot humid environment to a controlled, cooler
temperature environment with a lower humidity. Finally dental staff are required to wear
personal protective equipment while performing their jobs. These articles are very hot and nonbreathable by their nature. If, in addition, the environment is hot and humid, it is very difficult
for them to perform their jobs and can cause exposure to the patient.

Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution Housing Unit Security Stations (Project No.
06I1T). Request authority to construct secure work stations in the 12 original housing units at
Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution (KMCI) at a total project cost of $592,100 General Fund
Supported Borrowing – Facilities Maintenance and Repair. This project involves constructing
secure officer stations to enhance staff safety and enclose plumbing controls, offender records,
controlled medications, lighting controls, fire alarm panels, fiber-optic terminations,
communication equipment, and computer terminals.
The current Officer stations are constructed of wood and are enclosed with a variety of glass,
acrylic, and polycarbonate sheeting. In the event of a disturbance the officer assigned to the housing
unit has no protection from disruptive inmates. A secure workstation in each of the original 12
housing units will aid the institution staff in managing the inmate population in a safe, efficient
manner.

OCI Electrical Power Distribution Upgrade (Project 02G2K). Request approval to increase
the project budget for the Electrical Power Distribution System Upgrade at Oakhill Correctional
(OCI) by $550,000 for a total project cost of $1,782,000 General Fund Supported Borrowing Utilities Repair and Renovation. This project will replace and upgrade the existing 12,470 volt
electrical distribution system throughout the institution. Work will include replacement of medium
voltage cable, replacement of medium voltage switchgear and related equipment, replacement of
selective transformers, and selective upgrade of the medium voltage underground raceway system.
New electrical cabling was intended to be installed through the existing underground ductbanks,
but during construction it was discovered that many of the old underground ductbanks have
deteriorated very badly and can not be re-used. Additional funding is being requested to allow the
installation of new underground electrical ductbanks at various places throughout the facility.
Construction of this project is approximately 50% complete but can not be completed until the
new underground ductbanks are installed. The existing normal and emergency electrical
distribution system at the facility is very old and no longer in reliable condition. Building
additions, increases in inmate population, and additional equipment requirements over the past
years have increased the burden on the electrical system. The facility is vulnerable to electrical
failures until the construction of this project is completed.

Green Bay Correctional Institution Fire Alarm Upgrade (Project No. 06I1V). Request
authority to construct a Fire Alarm Upgrade project at Green Bay Correctional Institution (GBCI)
at a total cost of $372,800 General Fund Supported Borrowing – Health, Safety and
Environmental Protection. This project would replace existing fire alarm annunciator panels in
central control and associated control panels in the Administration Building, cell halls, Food
Service Building and the Treatment Building
The existing fire alarm system has exceeded its useful life. The system frequently malfunctions,
is in frequent need of repair, and is occasionally disabled. Replacement parts are difficult to
obtain. The upgraded fire alarm detection system will be more reliable and efficient, and will
enable staff and residents to respond appropriately in case of a smoke or fire emergency.
