A commissioner moved on Jan. 14, 2025, to approve a contract with TNT Construction Corp for $97,360 to add a kitchen to the Bullock County jail. The motion was placed on the record; the meeting transcript does not record a roll-call vote or final tally.
The jail kitchen project was discussed earlier in the meeting when commissioners referenced a prior $95,000 approval and said the commission needed to "resend" that prior action for clarity. Sheriff Rogers also spoke about staffing and the jail plan during the discussion.
A commissioner cautioned colleagues about procurement and bid-law compliance, saying the commission should not try to circumvent formal bidding thresholds and warning that auditors could raise issues if processes were pushed. The transcript includes a note that the chairman had not yet signed the contract to move forward, but it does not show whether the contract was ultimately executed.
The motion language recorded in the meeting named TNT Construction Corp and the $97,360 amount and requested approval of the contract. No amended motion or formal vote tally appears in the available transcript.
Next steps and any required procurement steps (formal bid, contract signature, or subsequent vote) were not specified in the transcript and remain pending.
