As of June 15, 2023, a joint venture for the New Brooklyn Detention Center is underway. Further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, demolition and construction is anticipated for 2023. The closed solicitation has been included below for reference. A detailed scope has not been released. Renovation and expansion of the Brooklyn Detention Center (BDC) would transform the aging jail into a state-of-the-art, 21st-century civic landmark. The design is informed by five key factors: creating a building of design excellence and high performance energy efficiency; replacing an artifact from another era with a new paradigm in Brooklyn’s civic and commercial center; addressing key concerns of the neighboring community; introducing best practices to provide humane, normative environments for detainees; and providing a safe and secure environment, both inside the building and within the urban context. The design is a carefully balanced composition, juxtaposing the lightness of the glass curtain wall with the mass of perforated concrete volumes to provide maximum light, air, and security throughout the building. Teams interested in participating in the program are encouraged to respond to the RFQ with Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) that will then be evaluated to create a shortlist for each new jail. The RFQ is expected to be issued in September 2021. Responses to the RFQ in the form of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from highly qualified firms will be due in November 2021. The shortlisted design-build teams will then have the exclusive opportunity to respond to a future Request for Proposals (RFP), one of which will be issued for each new jail. Future RFPs will then be released to shortlisted teams beginning in December 2021 and extending to the third quarter of 2022. Responses to the RFPs will then be evaluated to select the design-build teams that will construct the four new facilities. The Jails program overall remains fully funded and on track to deliver the four new facilities by 2027, in time to meet the deadline to close Rikers Island. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
