Summary: The Cook County Sheriff’s Office has a program to train inmates and participants from the Vocational Rehabilitation Impact Center to provide deconstruction and building material salvage services. Upon completion of the program, each participant will receive basic carpentry and building material reuse training and an OSHA 10-hour safety certificate. The Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) seeks authorization to continue use of this program to remove unneeded buildings from recently acquired properties and on sites intended for redevelopment as needed.
Forest Preserve staff are seeking to extend an on-going partnership with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office for a fifth year to continue deconstruction and demolition of additional vacant Forest Preserve buildings at various locations. Work in the first two (2) years focused primarily on removal of old campground cabins with an original amount of $84,839.00. On June 7, 2016, the agreement was extended again to allow removal of buildings at other sites with an increase of $100,000.00 (Agenda Item 16-0234) and was extended again on June 6, 2017 for time only (Agenda Item 17-0229). Three (3) non-camp buildings were removed in 2017 after asbestos removal and utility disconnections were completed by others. Remaining funds are expected to be sufficient to cover the costs for the removal of 4-5 additional buildings in 2019. This fourth renewal is to extend time for an additional year.
