Loading...
Summary
Bracken County Fiscal Court approved installation of a commercial door and card-access system for the county attorney’s third-floor office. The court recorded a single abstention by Magistrate Craig Miller because materials will be purchased from Miller Lumber Company.
Bracken County Fiscal Court approved a security upgrade to the county attorney’s third-floor office that adds a flush commercial door and card-reader access for the office’s entrance.
Magistrate Sandy Roof moved to approve the project; Magistrate Debbie Mayfield seconded the motion. The motion passed with Magistrate Craig Miller recorded as abstaining.
County Attorney Beth Moore initiated the request, and Magistrate Craig Miller summarized vendor quotes for the court. Miller told the court that Sparks Hardware provided a materials quote of $3,539.90 and would supply install labor for $1,650, but Sparks does not supply the access-control electronics. “They don’t provide the card reader or the access control panel — that’d be provided by others,” Miller said.
Miller said TNT Cabling Solutions provided a quote of $3,975 for the access-control system — cabling, one card reader and associated components — and that Sparks Hardware would install the push-button entry and electric strike. “So the total for all of it would be $9,164.90,” Miller said.
Miller also told the court the vendors estimated material delivery in early April and, with coordination, installation could finish in three to four weeks, “so possibly could have this finished by May.”
When the court voted, the record shows Magistrate David Couch, Magistrate Danny Holleran, Magistrate Debbie Mayfield, Magistrate John Scott, Magistrate Heather Brumley, Magistrate Kevin Gerald, Judge Teagarden and Magistrate Sandy Roof voted yes; Magistrate Craig Miller abstained, citing that the materials would be purchased through Miller Lumber Company while installation and labor would be provided by separate contractors. The court declared the motion passed and directed staff to proceed with contracting and scheduling.
The work covers a single entry door and card access for staff and the county attorney’s secretary. No alternative vendors or long-term maintenance contracts were specified during the discussion.
