Summary: The Cook County Sheriff’s Office has a program to train detainees and participants from the Vocational Rehabilitation Impact Center to provide deconstruction and building material salvage services. Upon completion of the program, each participant receives basic carpentry and building material reuse training and an OSHA 10-hour safety certificate. The Forest Preserves seeks authority to continue to use this program to remove unneeded buildings from recently acquired properties and other properties as needed. The original agreement was extended annually, most recently in 2018 (Agenda Item 18-0269). The original amount of $84,839.00 was increased by $100,000.00 in 2016 (Agenda Item 16-0234). Due to a recent acquisition with numerous buildings that are not needed, the Forest Preserves is seeking to extend the agreement for two (2) years and increase funding to cover estimated costs for removal of structures at various locations listed in the amended agreement.
