Liberty County approves $45,000 mini‑split HVAC installation for sheriff's offices; Trinity Valley selected
Summary
Commissioners awarded a $45,000 contract to Trinity Valley to install mini‑split units at the Liberty County Jail/sheriff's office after reviewing competing quotes; the county identified Dwayne as the funding source at the meeting.
The Liberty County Commissioners Court approved hiring Trinity Valley HVAC services to install mini‑split units to address overheating in sheriff's office areas and to protect county IT equipment. Trinity Valley's bid (two 2‑ton and two 3‑ton units) was the lowest at $45,000; a competing quote from FHP (via Gordian) for four 2‑ton units was $52,955.95.
Purchasing staff said the existing spaces have insufficient cooling capacity for equipment and personnel, and the mini‑split installation will address those immediate concerns. A motion to accept Trinity Valley's bid carried; commissioners identified Dwayne as the funding source for the $45,000 purchase.
Provenance: The mini‑split quotes and selection discussion were presented under agenda item 5 and the court voted during that item to award Trinity Valley the contract.
