CHAPTER 30
 [ REGULATIONS REGULATION ] FOR GOVERNING STATE REIMBURSEMENT OF LOCAL JUVENILE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY COSTS

Part I
General Information

6VAC35-30-10. Introduction.

The state Board of Youth and Family Services is charged with the responsibility for approving all requests from localities for financial assistance relative to the development and operation of new programs and services; for purchase of property; and for construction, enlargement, or renovation of detention homes, group homes or other residential care facilities for children; whether publicly or privately constructed.

The Department of Youth and Family Services exercises oversight responsibility in the establishment and maintenance of programs, services and residential care facilities for children.

The Office of Capital Outlay Management within the Department of Youth and Family Services is responsible for architectural and engineering review of residential care facilities which are constructed, enlarged or renovated, and reimbursed with state funds.

Section 16.1-309.5 of the Code of Virginia requires the Board of Juvenile Justice and the Governor to evaluate all plans for, specifications of, and requests for reimbursement from a locality or localities for the construction, enlargement, purchase, or renovation of projects governed by this chapter. No reimbursements for costs and construction for such projects shall be made unless the plans, specifications, and construction are approved by the board and the Governor in accordance with the provisions contained herein.

Section 16.1-309.9 of the Code of Virginia further mandates the board to approve minimum standards for the construction and equipment of detention homes and other facilities governed by this chapter. Any such project shall be subject to this regulation and all applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance documents, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. The Virginia Public Procurement Act, Chapter 43 (§ 2.2-4300 et seq.) of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia;

2. The Construction and Professional Services Manual (CPSM), October 2004, issued by the Department of General Services, Division of Engineering and Building;

3. The Step-by-Step Procedures for Approval and Reimbursement for Local Facility Construction, Enlargement, and Renovation, March 2001, issued by the Department of Juvenile Justice; and

4. The Agency Procurement and Surplus Property Manual (1VAC30-130), issued by the Department of General Services, Division of Purchases and Supply.

Approval of projects for which state funding is requested is vested by the Governor in the Office of the Secretary of Public Safety. Such projects are best accomplished as a cooperative venture between a locality or localities and the Department of Youth and Family Services Juvenile Justice. Using Board of Youth and Family Services (BYFS) approved and American Correctional Association (ACA) standards regulations promulgated by the board and by working together as partners from project planning to through project construction and program implementation, the locality or localities and the department ensure that an the optimum number of children are provided high quality services at a minimum cost to the locality or localities and to the Commonwealth.

As a basis for this regulation:

1. The Virginia Public Procurement Act applies generally to every public body in the Commonwealth which § 11-37 of the Code of Virginia defines to include any legislative, executive or judicial body, agency, office, department, authority, post, commission, committee, institution, board or political subdivision created by law to exercise some sovereign power or to perform some governmental duty. Therefore, the Commonwealth of Virginia Agency Procurement and Surplus Property Manual, current edition, will apply when construction of juvenile facilities is reimbursed by state funds.

2. The Agency Procurement and Surplus Property manual incorporates the Commonwealth of Virginia Capital Outlay manual for policy and guidelines for Capital Outlay Projects. Generally, construction or renovation of juvenile facilities would constitute Capital Outlay. The Department of Youth and Family Services shall therefore apply the Commonwealth of Virginia Capital Outlay manual, current edition, whenever reimbursement with state funds is requested. Special emphasis on Chapters V, VIII, and X shall be considered whenever reimbursement is requested.

3. The Department of Youth and Family Services does not intend to replace or relieve responsibilities of the architectural and engineering firms and applicable regulatory authorities (i.e., Building Official, State Fire Marshal, etc.).

For the purposes of this chapter and reimbursement recommendations to the Secretary and the Governor, the Department of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) or its designee shall be the reviewing authority.

Localities wishing a review of their needs assessment prior to formally submitting a reimbursement request may submit only the needs assessment as specified in 6VAC35-30-40 B. Upon review of the needs assessment, the board will notify the locality or localities as to whether it appears to the board that they are ready to proceed with the formal reimbursement request.

6VAC35-30-60. Criteria for board funding recommendation.

A. Demonstrated need. The board will shall evaluate the need for the project as demonstrated by the information provided in the Needs Assessment and Planning Study.

B. Operational cost efficiency. The board shall take into consideration the operational cost efficiency of the interior design of the facility with special concern for the number of staff required, functional layout, material selection, and energy efficiency, with special emphasis on meeting the needs of youth and the mission of the facility. Design of the program facility shall meet the standards of the board and ACA.

C. Construction cost. All sponsors shall calculate construction costs in accordance with the funding formula provided in 6VAC35-30-65. Construction economy shall be reviewed in relation to the adjusted median cost of local facilities. The adjusted median cost of local facilities will be calculated by the department as a per bed cost using the following procedure:

1. A cost per square foot base figure will be the national median square-foot cost for jails (location factor applied), published in the latest edition of "Means Facilities Cost Data" published by R. S. Means Company, Inc. The "Means Facilities Cost Data" takes into consideration the "location factor" which is the materials and labor cost differential specific to a geographical location;

2. The adjusted square-foot costs will be converted to per-bed costs using per-bed area allowances based on the average gross square footage of actual and proposed local facilities in Virginia; the area allowances must be in accordance with all applicable codes and standards according to the following formula:

National cost per square foot (Means)

X Location Factor (Means)

X Area allowance per bed (maximum 900 sq. ft. per bed)

= Adjusted median construction cost of local facility;

3. The total project cost will include:

a. Construction (subdivision C 2 above);

b. Site and utilities (Means);

c. Architectural and engineering (Virginia Capital Outlay Manual);

d. Furnishings and equipment (as itemized);

e. Project inspection (Virginia Capital Outlay Manual);

f. Contingency (3.0%);

g. Property purchased specifically for this facility; and

h. Other.

D. Board review of construction costs. The economy of construction cost is necessary and shall be reviewed as follows:

1. Review for efficiency.

a. Projects or portions of projects involving renovation of existing facilities shall be reviewed in relation to the efficiency of the renovated spaces, the appropriateness of the proposed changes, and the relationship of the changes to the project of a whole.

b. Projects of new construction shall be reviewed for the building's appropriate efficiency ratio. The board may request further information from the sponsor on projects with a building's efficiency ratio of less than 65%.

2. The board may adjust the amount being requested for reimbursement funding as follows:

a. A reduction in funding when functional areas of the facility, such as the kitchen, recreation area, educational facilities, visiting area, and laundry facilities are not included or are included at a size not in conformance with applicable regulations or normal practice;

b. An increase in funding when support services areas are proposed at sizes larger than necessary in anticipation of future enlargements or expansions of the facility;

c. A decrease in funding when the building's efficiency ratio is less than 65%; and

d. An increase in funding when the facility includes areas for extraordinary program activities.

3. Any adjustments made by the board in funding shall be based upon the gross square footage of the various conditions multiplied by a cost equal to the adjusted median cost or the proposed gross square foot cost of the facility, whichever is less.

D. E. Phased reimbursement of projects. When localities wish A sponsor may request, when submitting the planning study for review, to meet the requirements outlined in the needs assessment receive portions of the total project reimbursement based upon the completion of the project in phases,. In response to such requests, the board may approve reimbursement based on the total estimated cost of the project as if it were to be completed as a single endeavor; however, reimbursement will be in amounts proportional to the phases of construction and payment will be made only as each approved phase is completed and that portion of the building is ready to be placed in service.

6VAC35-30-65. Funding formula.

A. The following funding formula shall be used to calculate estimated construction costs at the Schematic Design [ (15%) ] Documents level in the planning study phase:

1. A cost per square foot base figure shall be the national median square-foot cost for jails published in the 24th annual edition of R. S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data 2009 (Means) with consideration taken of the "location factor," which is the materials and labor cost differential specific to the project's geographical location.

2. The cost per square foot, adjusted using the location factor, must be in accordance with all applicable codes and standards and in accordance with the following formula:

National cost per square foot (from Means)

X Location Factor (from Means)

X Area allowance per bed (as provided for in subsection B of this section)

= Adjusted median construction cost of local facility.

3. The total project cost shall include:

a. Construction cost;

b. Site and utilities (from Means);

c. Architectural and Engineering services (services as defined in the Construction and Professional Services Manual (CPSM));

d. Furnishing and equipment (as itemized by the sponsor);

e. Project inspection (services as defined in the CPSM);

f. Contingency (10.0%);

g. Inflation factor (yearly market inflation rate applied from January 1 of the year of the submitted design through the midpoint of construction, compounded [ ) ] ;

h. Property purchased specifically for this facility; and

i. Other.

B. The following area allowances per bed shall be used to calculate the adjusted median construction cost of a local facility:

1. A maximum of 700 square feet per bed for facilities up to 35 residents;

2. A maximum of 650 square feet per bed for facilities of 36 to 79 residents; and

3. A maximum of 550 square feet per bed for facilities with 80 or more residents.

6VAC35-30-70. Funding priorities.

A. The following criteria, as determined by the needs assessment shall serve as a guide for determining the level of priority given to requests for reimbursement:

1. New construction or renovation is needed because the existing facility is closed by the court, Board of Youth and Family Services or local governing authority due to its failure to meet state or local operating standards;

2. An unsafe physical plant which fails to meet life, health, safety standards, or a court-ordered renovation, expansion, or new construction;

3. Replacement or renovation of bedspace lost due to fire, earthquake or other disaster;

4. An existing local facility is experiencing overcrowding which is expected to continue based on population forecasts;

5. A locality with no existing local facility;

6. An addition to or renovation of support facilities;

7. Phased projects; and

8. Cost overruns.

B. Regional projects. The board will shall prioritize reimbursement requests in a manner to ensure an equitable distribution of state funds across the Commonwealth; and, absent a health, safety, or welfare risk requiring priority, the board shall ordinarily give preference to requests for reimbursement for regionalized local facilities. Regionalized local facilities shall normally serve three or more localities as determined by the needs assessment.

6VAC35-30-80. Board recommendations to the Governor.

A. The department will direct a letter to the locality notifying the governing body shall notify the sponsor in writing within seven business days of the board's decision to recommend or not to recommend a project for reimbursement, and.
