County says DLZ is finalizing jail drawings; staff to visit Franklin County examples
Summary
County staff reported that DLZ is completing phase 2 and 3 drawings for the jail project and that county representatives plan to visit Franklin County to review example facilities before finalizing drawings for board review.
Morrow County staff reported progress on the county jail project, saying the engineering/architectural firm DLZ is working to complete drawings for phase 2 and phase 3 of the project and that staff plan to visit Franklin County to review example facilities.
Why it matters: The drawings are a step toward putting the project out to bid; reviewing operational examples elsewhere can inform design decisions and bidding documents.
According to the meeting record, DLZ is preparing drawings and staff expect to have materials wrapped up for board review for the next phases of design. Staff said they plan to visit Franklin County to view comparable facilities and examples that could inform the county’s drawings and specifications. The meeting record says the drawings will be submitted to the relevant board for review by the end of the month, after which the county intends to move the project to the bid stage.
County staff invited commissioners to join the visit to Franklin County to see examples and discuss options. No formal vote was recorded on project financing or contractor selection at this meeting; the discussion was an update on schedule and next steps.
Context: The item was presented as a staff update; the transcript identifies DLZ by name and notes an intent to accelerate the drawing and review process so the project can advance to bidding when drawings are approved.
