MCC WSRU Renovate Replace Perimeter Security Wall

Consultant for Predesign Services for the renovation or replacement of the perimeter security wall at WSRU and IMU located in the Monroe Correctional Complex, Monroe, Washington. The scope of this work includes predesign services only. The scope of work includes architectural, and engineering predesign services for renovating or replacing the existing perimeter security wall. The options could include adding seismic bracing to the 100-year-old perimeter wall or finding an alternate solution such as a secure perimeter fence. The project will also include renovating or removing the towers, and catwalk depending on the final solution chosen. The WSRU wall and towers were constructed between 1908 and 1911 and are built from bricks which incarcerated individuals manufactured on-site. This unreinforced construction doesn’t meet the current seismic code and the top portion of the wall partially collapsed during an earthquake in 1997. The wall serves as the secure perimeter for WSRU and IMU, and the attached elevated catwalk provides the only means of reaching multiple security guard towers.
