Commissioners review jail change order and consider renewing electronics contract
Summary
The commission reviewed a roughly $11,000 jail change order to replace bed legs and discussed renewing a service contract with SWC for jail electronics (annual cost cited as $23,027.09); commissioners leaned toward a one-year renewal to monitor vendor performance.
County engineering and jail staff asked commissioners to sign a change order (about $11,000) to complete replacement or repair of beds in the jail project after contractors found some beds lacked legs. Speaker 2 said the additional work will let the contractor finish and estimated completion in two to three weeks if approved.
Staff also reviewed a contract renewal with SWC, the vendor that installed jail electronics (cameras, door locks, master control). The transcript records multi-year pricing options, a 3% discount for annual prepayment, and an annual cost difference noted by Speaker 1 of $23,027.09. Staff reported satisfaction with SWC’s work but commissioners discussed doing one more one‑year term to ensure continued performance.
Commissioners asked staff to prepare the paperwork and return with purchase orders; no roll-call vote with named tallies was printed for the SWC discussion in the transcript.
