High Desert Detention Center Smoke Control System Direct Digital Controls (DDC) Upgrade Project

San Bernardino County is preparing to upgrade the smoke control system at the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto, California, with a focus on implementing new Direct Digital Controls to improve system efficiency and reliability.

The anticipated project timeline indicates a forecast posting date of July 1, 2026, suggesting that formal solicitation and contracting processes will follow in the near future. The place of performance is clearly defined as Adelanto with a zip code of 92301, and primary points of contact for procurement and operational inquiries are provided through Joseph Sousa, the Operations Manager, who can be reached via email or phone. While specific funding details, contract value, or eligibility requirements are not yet disclosed, the initiative underscores the county’s commitment to upgrading public safety infrastructure and maintaining regulatory compliance within its detention facilities.
