What the agency published

The Volusia County Branch Jail at 1300 Red John Drive, Daytona Beach, Florida requires a comprehensive replacement and upgrade of its existing air handling unit (AHU) infrastructure, fire/smoke damper systems, and related fire suppression controls. The facility is a single-story correctional facility operated by Volusia County Government. The facility's current HVAC configuration lacks the ability to isolate individual pods during a smoke or contamination event, and the existing fire/smoke dampers have reached the end of their serviceable life. The existing building automation and controls system is similarly obsolete and no longer supported by the manufacturer. This project addresses all of these deficiencies with a coordinated replacement and upgrade program across mechanical, controls, and fire/life safety systems.
