County executive says jail construction imminent as committee hears project update
Summary
County Executive Pergriba told the administrative committee that the county is "within days" of signing off on a jail construction contract and beginning work, citing coordination among Cope Architecture, Bell Construction, USDA legal counsel, and county teams.
County Executive Pergriba updated the Humphreys County Administrative Committee that the county is close to finalizing a contract and starting construction on the county jail.
Pergriba said the project has involved multiple stakeholders including Cope Architecture, Bell Construction, the county's project management and finance teams, and USDA legal counsel connected to funding arrangements. "We are within days of getting signed off on this and getting construction started," Pergriba told the committee, adding that complex, interwoven legal and financial steps remain but that staff are working to complete them as quickly as possible.
Pergriba also recognized Sheriff Davis for being named a local Tennessean recognition and invited Davis to the meeting; no procurement action or vote on the jail contract occurred at the administrative committee meeting, only an informational status update.
