Linn County reviews $33,895 quote to add fencing at juvenile detention center
Summary
Facilities staff presented a quote from D and N Fence Company to add a second interior fence and repair gaps at the Linn County juvenile detention center; funding would come from the county's CIP security allocation and permits would be contractor-filed at no cost. The board scheduled the item for a consent vote Wednesday.
Linn County facilities staff presented a $33,895 quote from D and N Fence Company, Inc., to supply and install exterior fencing and add an interior security fence at the county juvenile detention center.
Luke Fisher, facilities director, said the work would add a second fence within the courtyard and repair several gaps and hand-holes in the existing perimeter. "This is, for some security measures adding a second fence within the courtyard, and then making some improvements, a few gaps or hand holes that we've noticed in the existing fence as well," Fisher said.
Fisher told the board the project would be paid from the county's capital improvement plan (CIP) line listed for security. He also said contractors would file any required permits and that the county had taken care of its permitting responsibilities; staff clarified there would be no permit fees charged to the county for the contractor filings.
The board did not vote on the contract at the meeting. The chair said the item would be placed on the Wednesday consent agenda for formal action.
If approved, the work would move forward under the county's purchasing process; no contract award was recorded in the meeting minutes.
