Capital Outlay
In response to the Department of Juvenile Justice Agency mission, goals, and objectives, the DJJ Office of Capital Outlay Management provides evaluation, planning, design and construction administration and management support services. Our services assist and support the Juvenile Correctional Centers (JCC), the Agency Central Office, and the regional detention centers, treatment centers and group homes throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
All facets of the DJJ physical plant and buildings inventory are supported by Capital Outlay with Capital Funding, Maintenance Reserve Funding and Agency funding through advanced Six-Year planning requests submitted to the Department of Planning and Budget, and also through JCC generated service requests and emergency requests. In addition, Capital Outlay reviews design and construction documents for local/regional Detention Centers, Treatment Centers and Group Homes to insure compliance with Agency design standards, especially under funding reimbursement tenets. Capital Outlay also acts as a professional consulting base for the local/regional Facilities as well, answering questions, and assisting with design and construction problems, as well as being available for first-hand evaluative visits. Capital Outlay also works very closely with the Department of Correctional Education in providing and maintaining excellent school, continuing education, and vocational/technical curriculum spaces at each Agency JCC.
Capital Outlay is responsible for defining Agency design and construction standards; provides Agency Physical Plant Master Planning; provides in-house professional architectural and engineering services as well as professional architectural and engineering consulting services through the maintenance of Term A/E Contracts; provides in-house professional project management services from programming, to design, to construction, to project close-out for both Capital and Non-Capital projects; provides in-house professional construction management and administration services for Capital and Non-Capital projects; and maintains a select group of pre-qualified Annual Term Construction Contractors exclusive to DJJ. Some of these contractors are capable of emergency response to augment immediate JCC Buildings and Grounds personnel for situations requiring immediate stabilizations and repairs resulting from storm or other damage causing events.
Current Projects
Capital Outlay is responsible for 1,144,000 square feet of buildings in our Agency inventory.
