Commissioners approve $9,125 carpet tile replacement in county jail entry area
Summary
Howard County commissioners approved replacement of flooring at the jail's elevator entry and upper corridor with matching carpet tile at an estimated cost of $9,125 to be paid from a building upgrades fund; jail staff and inmates will perform demolition and installation labor.
Howard County commissioners voted to approve replacement of flooring at the upper corridor and elevator entry of the county jail with carpet tile that matches the administrative area.
Mr. Stone Street, who brought the request to the board, said the existing floor is damaged and is a slip hazard; he recommended carpet tile as the most economical solution. He reported WALTMAN Flooring as the vendor option and provided an estimated total cost of $9,125. Stone Street said jail staff and inmates would perform demolition and that the estimate includes cove base and installation.
The presenter asked that funds come from a county building upgrades account referenced in the meeting as Koomcutt (meeting record included the numeric line 11.38.47243). A commissioner moved and a second was recorded; the board voted "Aye" and approved the request. No individual roll-call tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
The record does not show a contract award date or a construction start date; the board approved using the building-upgrades line referenced in the discussion.
