Richland County is initiating a roofing project for the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center that will analyze the roofs of the entire facility and develop a cost-effective plan to repair or replace them. A roofing consultant, Lyon & Associates, has been solicited and selected, with a contract forthcoming, and construction documents are expected to be completed by March 2025 for later construction solicitation. The total project budget is $3,500,000, and a roofing contractor has not yet been determined. This places the effort in the design and planning phase ahead of a separate construction bid, creating a near-term opportunity for roofing contractors, construction managers, and related building-envelope vendors to prepare for the upcoming solicitation and for ancillary services such as inspections, safety systems, and project phasing support.
Pre-RFP
$3,500,000Oct 28, 2025Richland County’s Detention Center Ad Hoc Committee received an update that the facility-wide security system project has completed design and construction drawings and is awaiting contractor selection and permitting. The project will design and install a new camera and security control system throughout the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, with an estimated total budget of about 6.5 million dollars and target completion in July 2026. This is a large, complex security technology upgrade where only the design vendor, Moseley, is identified and the construction/implementation contractor is still to be selected. Vendors in detention security, cameras, control systems, low-voltage installation, and related integration services can position around the upcoming contractor selection, implementation planning, and possible subconsultant roles. Follow-on needs such as maintenance, software upgrades, and staff training can also be anticipated once the system is installed.
Pre-RFP
$6,500,000May 20, 2025Richland County is planning a full facility-wide security system project at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center to design and install a new camera and security control system throughout the facility. As of May 20, 2025, design work by Moseley is complete, construction drawings have been submitted and approved, and the County is awaiting selection of a construction contractor and permitting, with an estimated overall completion date of July 2026. This indicates an upcoming construction/technology procurement for implementation of a $6.5M security platform, with the implementation contractor still to be chosen. Vendors in detention security, video surveillance, access control, integration, and related services can engage around design-assist, technology standards, and implementation planning before the County finalizes vendor selection and deployment details.
Pre-RFP
$6,500,000May 20, 2025Richland County is undertaking multiple interior renovation projects at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center’s housing units: Hotel, Juliet, Lima, Kilo, and Uniform. As of mid-May 2025, the Hotel unit renovation (1.19M) by CNC Construction is complete and turned over for occupation, while Juliet (1.31M) by CNC Construction is 90% complete, and Lima, Kilo, and Uniform (each 691,617 dollars) by Carbra Construction are between 53% and 65% complete with guardhouse work and interior finishes/MEP installations in progress. These projects collectively represent several million dollars of housing unit upgrades focused on complete interior renovation, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and security-related improvements. While the prime contracts are already awarded, vendors of detention hardware, MEP systems, and furnishings can target CNC Construction and Carbra Construction for subcontracting and follow-on work, and can monitor for future phases (e.g., Mike and new housing projects) as the County modernizes its detention infrastructure.
Contract Award
$4,575,533May 20, 2025At its May 20, 2026 meeting, the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority approved a Housing Trust Fund (HTF) award for the Magnolia CTH II supportive housing project in Berkeley County. Berkeley Citizens Inc., a nonprofit affiliate of the SC Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, will acquire and rehabilitate a 2,648 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bath dwelling at 457 White Magnolia Street in Monks Corner to house four individuals with long-term disabilities in a non-institutional setting. The Board authorized a 20‑year forgivable HTF loan of 485,586.89 covering acquisition, construction/rehab, and soft costs, with total development costs matching the award. This indicates active funding for residential acquisition, light construction/rehab, and professional services in supportive housing, creating immediate opportunities for contractors, rehab specialists, accessibility modification firms, and service providers who can partner with the developer or pursue similar HTF-funded projects as the Authority continues to deploy support for group homes statewide.
Grant Funding
$485,587May 20, 2026The Board approved an HTF award for the Jonagold CTH II supportive housing project in Greenville County at the May 20, 2026 meeting. Community Options, Inc., a nonprofit affiliate of the SC Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, will acquire and rehabilitate a 2,470 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 2-bath dwelling at 2 Jonagold Court in Greenville to house four individuals with long-term disabilities in a community setting. The Authority authorized a 20‑year forgivable HTF loan of 481,357.45 to cover acquisition (364,000), rehab (113,141.29), and soft/professional costs (4,216.16), with total development costs matching the award. With funding secured, Community Options will need design, construction, accessibility, and supportive housing implementation support, and the approval indicates SC Housing is actively backing multiple group home acquisitions that vendors can target for similar work and future pipeline.
Grant Funding
$481,357May 20, 2026Richland County is moving forward with a facility-wide security system upgrade at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, covering cameras and security control systems throughout the jail. The design phase is complete, construction drawings have been submitted and approved, and the County is currently soliciting for a construction contractor with a stated bid date of November 7, 2025. The project has a budget of approximately 6500000 and an estimated completion date of July 1, 2026, with Moseley Architects identified as the design firm but the construction contractor still to be determined. This is an active procurement for security and low-voltage integrators, detention technology vendors, and related subcontractors. Vendors can position solutions around secure camera systems, control rooms, integration with existing jail systems, and long-term maintenance and support for the upgraded security infrastructure.
Active Opportunity
$6,500,000Oct 28, 2025Richland County is advancing a major security upgrade at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center to design and install a new camera and security control system throughout the facility. The design phase is complete, construction drawings have been submitted and approved, and the project is currently being solicited with a bid date of November 7, 2025. The total budget is $6,500,000, with Moseley Architects identified for design and the construction contractor still to be selected. This is an active procurement for comprehensive security electronics, video surveillance, and controls work, representing a substantial opportunity for detention technology, low-voltage, and security integrator vendors. Vendors should position around detention-grade security systems, integration with existing infrastructure, and meeting the July 1, 2026 completion target.
Active Opportunity
$6,500,000Oct 28, 2025Richland County is planning a complete interior renovation of the Mike Housing Unit at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center with an allocated budget of $1.4M. As of May 20, 2025, proposals from contractors were received on May 5, 2025, and are being evaluated for scope of work and contractor qualifications, with construction expected to start July 1, 2025 and finish by October 1, 2025. This points to an active contractor selection process for a relatively fast-track renovation, where the award decision has not yet been disclosed and the contractor is listed as TBD. Construction, detention renovation, and specialty trades firms can still position themselves as primes or subcontractors, and related vendors (MEP, security, fixtures) can align with competing teams as the County moves toward award.
Active Opportunity
$1,400,000May 20, 2025Richland County is near completion of the Attorney/Client visitation area project at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center’s Tango Facility. Construction and interior finishes are complete for the new area, which provides seven indirect contact units and three direct contact units with a secure hallway for detainee movement and a covered walkway from the main lobby, and the remaining work involves delivery and installation of backordered communication call boxes. The project has a budget of about 4.2 million dollars, was publicly bid and fully designed by an architectural team, and is 95% complete with an estimated completion date of June 15, 2025. The prime contractor is JM Cope, and while the main construction work is decided, there may be ongoing needs for communications hardware, integration, testing, and later maintenance of the call box and visitation systems. Vendors in detention communications systems and related support can approach JM Cope or the County for follow-on services and upgrades.
