18. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE TO DEUTSCH ARCHITECTURE GROUP FOR JUVENILE DETENTION KITCHEN REMODELS Approve Competition Impracticable for Architectural Services - Deutsch Architecture Group. Juvenile Detention is currently receiving meals directly from the LBJ Food Factory. These meals are delivered via rethermilazation units designed to keep the food warm/cold. These retherm units are being phased out at the end of the 2014 calendar year. A Juvenile Detention Food Services Assessment was done to evaluate the existing Juvenile Detention kitchens to determine what modifications would be required to bring these kitchens up to code and turn them into full food service kitchens. Deutsch Architecture was involved in this Juvenile Detention Food Services Assessment, they have specific knowledge of the two facilities involved and have already completed schematic design as part of the initial assessment. The cost of the design is $167,215.00. There are many technical and operational issues that Deutsch is familiar with that a different design professional would have to learn. A different design professional would have to start over from the beginning and the effort and expenditures to date would be mostly wasted. (C-70-14-010-M-00)
