I. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The Imperial County Sheriff’s Office (ICSO) operates three detention facilities—the Regional Adult Detention Facility
(RADF), the Hebert Hughes Correctional Center (HHCC), and the Oren Fox Detention Facility (OFDF)—located on
approximately 2.3 acres of County-owned property at 328 Applestill Road in El Centro, California. Together, these
facilities house the County’s adult inmate population across varying custody levels. RADF is a maximum-security facility
that opened in 1979 and has a Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) rated capacity of 288 beds. HHCC, a
minimum-security facility, opened in 1963 and has a BSCC rated capacity of 314 beds. OFDF, a medium-security facility,
opened in 2018 and has a BSCC rated capacity of 274 beds. While these facilities collectively support detention operations,
each has significant limitations that constrain the delivery of effective inmate services and programming.
RADF is comprised of twelve (12) two-tier housing modules, along with male and female outpatient housing areas that
provide limited space for inmate programming. The lack of dedicated treatment, educational, and rehabilitative space has
resulted in an inefficient service delivery model for maximum-security offenders, restricting access to evidence-based
programming.
HHCC includes six (6) dormitory-style housing units, a multipurpose room, commercial kitchen, central dining area, and
recreation room. However, the facility’s aging physical layout does not adequately support essential programmatic and
treatment functions, including medical care, mental health services, educational programming, and vocational training.
These deficiencies have been further intensified by population shifts resulting from AB 109 Public Safety Realignment,
which led to longer lengths of stay and a higher proportion of offenders with complex medical and behavioral health needs.
As a result, ICSO continues to face challenges related to insufficient space, limited treatment capacity, and a facility that
has exceeded its useful life.
OFDF was designed as a direct-supervision facility and includes six (6) two-tier dormitory-style housing units. The facility
also contains a booking area with isolation and observation cells, as well as designated safety, sobering, and holding cells.
Some programmatic support space is provided through two inmate classrooms and a vocational teaching kitchen, while a
medical circulation suite supports basic medical services. Although OFDF offers improved design efficiencies, it alone
cannot meet the growing demand for comprehensive treatment and rehabilitative services across the jail system.
To address these system-wide deficiencies and service gaps, ICSO pursued Senate Bill 863 (SB 863) lease revenue bond
funding to develop the Program Services and Treatment Facility (PSTF). The PSTF is intended to function as a centralized
support facility that expands access to inmate programming, education, and dedicated medical and mental health treatment.
The facility will emphasize evidence-based practices designed to reduce recidivism and enhance public safety outcomes.
The PSTF will be designed specifically to support mental health treatment, substance use disorder (SUD) services, and
vocational training for the Imperial County jail population. The project will incorporate sustainable and space-efficient
design strategies, including green building practices, composting of kitchen waste, and purpose-built environments that
promote effective treatment, education, and rehabilitation. Collectively, the PSTF will strengthen ICSO’s ability to meet
current and future inmate service needs while improving operational efficiency and long-term outcomes.
Updated planning and cost estimates prepared in October 2025 reflect a refined project scope that maintains essential
programmatic functions while reducing the overall facility size. The revised project includes approximately 10,125 gross
square feet (GSF) and an estimated total project budget of $19,654,860, inclusive of state-reimbursable costs and the
County’s required match, structured to comply with SB 863 requirements.
The Imperial County Department of Public Works and ICSO (County) is seeking a qualified firm to provide a team of
experienced professionals with proven industry experience and records of success providing project management,
construction management, and support services for projects delivered using progressive and traditional design-build, as
well as other alternative and conventional project delivery methods. The selected firm will oversee, manage, and
administer the planning, design and construction of the of the ICSO’s Program Services and Treatment Facility. The
selected firm shall be a licensed architect or registered professional engineer with a designated team of varying disciplines
necessary to complete the Scope of Work.
