   CHICAGO (CBS) -- Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration has signed a   
   $29.3 million contract with a private security firm to help set up   
   "winterized base camps" of large military-style tents to help house   
   hundreds of migrants, and get them out of police stations.   
      
   The contract with GardaWorld Federal Services LLC was signed on   
   Sept. 12, and would allow the city to purchase "temporary housing   
   solutions and related services … to provide critical services to   
   asylum seekers," according to city records.   
      
   The contract does not include any specific locations for the tent   
   encampments, but last week, Ald. Ronnie Mosley (21st) held a   
   community meeting in the Roseland neighborhood to discuss a proposal   
   to turn an empty parking lot near 115th and Halsted into a base camp   
   for up to 1,400 asylum seekers.   
      
   City officials have said the priority for the base camps would be to   
   relocate migrants who have been sleeping on the floors of police   
   stations, but Roseland residents said the community is already in a   
   crisis and adding migrants into their neighborhood would make things   
   worse.   
      
   The mayor hopes the base camps will solve overcrowding issues with   
   migrants living at Chicago police stations. It's supposed to be a   
   temporary solution to the ongoing crisis with migrant housing.   
      
   The GardaWorld contract includes diagrams of the layouts for rows of   
   soft-sided, rectangular, "yurt style" tents that can house 12 people   
   each. The tents would include 12 cots capable of holding up to 500   
   pounds, and foot lockers for each cot.   
      
   According to the contract, the base camps would also have one toilet   
   and handwash station for every 20 people, as well as one shower for   
   every 25 people.   
      
   The camps would also include heating and air conditioning systems,   
   medical isolation tents, laundry facilities, dining areas, and   
   mobile kitchen units in large trailers - featuring stoves, griddles,   
   ovens, and refrigerators. Pump systems also would be set up to   
   provide drinkable water, along with sanitation tents hooked up to   
   the city's water and sewer system.   
      
   The contract does not include any details on when any specific base   
   camps would be built.
