Background:
This project will upgrade and remodel several areas at the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility (PSF) located at 401 4th Avenue South and The City Hall building located at 350 S 5th Street in downtown Minneapolis.
The infrastructure in the PSF and City Hall building is aging and building upgrades are needed to correct security deficiencies and to improve the efficiency of operations. In the PSF, upgrades include second-tier security barriers in the direct supervision housing areas to improve inmate and staff safety, remodeling the 3rd floor recreation area to provide additional housing for high-risk inmates, adding a restroom in the security garage, and painting inmate areas with graffiti resistant paint. At the City Hall, work will include replacing the inmate furniture and beds where pieces of metal are exposed which creates a safety and security threat, replacing failing ceiling tiles in the inmate areas, replacing broken floor tiles in common areas, remediating flooring and wall plaster, and replacing aging, rusting, or damaged windows and door frames in inmate areas.
Through a best value procurement process, a Request for Proposals was released on October 16, 2025. Four (4) proposals were received. Based on the results of interviews, cost, and written submittals, Reiling Construction Co. received the highest score, and is recommended for this project.
Current Request: Approval of Contract FC00000208 to Reiling Construction Co., Inc. for the City Hall & Public Safety Facility Jail Finishes & Upgrades project (Capital Project 1010178 & Capital Project 1010180), in the amount of $6,926,435 is requested.
Impact/Outcomes: This project’s outcome is to improve the condition of jail spaces within the Public Safety Facility and City Hall building, in addition to meeting required standards provided by the State of MN Department of Corrections.
