Trumbull County approves several maintenance and procurement items including traffic signal contract extension and jail repairs
Summary
The commissioners approved a set of routine procurement and maintenance items, including a 12‑month extension to the traffic signal maintenance contract ($51,600), replacement of an inmate entrance door ($7,785.75) and repair of a jail chiller control board ($18,892).
The Board of Trumbull County Commissioners approved a set of maintenance and procurement items during the meeting, including a second 12‑month extension of the traffic signal maintenance contract with Main Light Electric Company Inc. for $51,600 to be paid from the highway fund; award of a contract to GDK Doors for replacement of an inmate entrance/exit door at the courthouse in the amount of $7,785.75; and authorization to repair the Trumbull County Jail chiller control board by Gardner for $18,892.
The replacement door award followed a brief procedural discussion about removing a prior tabled item and legal advice from the prosecutor’s office; the board approved the lowest and best proposal as submitted by GDK Doors and recorded thanks to the maintenance department for cost‑saving efforts that reduced the county’s cost by roughly $3,000 compared with a previously recommended vendor.
The traffic signal maintenance contract extension was approved as the second extension, covering July 7, 2025, through July 6, 2026, and paid from the highway fund. The chiller repair was approved with a motion and second recorded; the board recorded unanimous approval in each case.
Why it matters: These approvals cover routine upkeep of county infrastructure and facilities paid from specified county funds and represent near‑term obligations for county operations. Commissioners emphasized fiscal prudence where maintenance staff helped reduce replacement costs.
