Hall County sets bid schedule for jail HVAC replacement; chiller shipment due in March
Summary
The board set a March 24 bid opening for the jail HVAC replacement with a March 8 chiller shipment expected; staff described specifications, a pre‑bid conference, and contingency arrangements for the facility while repairs proceed.
The Hall County Board approved setting a competitive sealed‑bid opening for replacement of the jail HVAC on March 24, 2026, with bids due March 23 and a pre‑bid conference scheduled for Feb. 25. Staff and the corrections director noted the specifications are detailed and that three manufacturers were preapproved with a process to consider equivalent products.
Corrections and facilities staff reviewed recent heat‑exchange failures that required temporary workarounds and added electric heaters to maintain minimum temperatures in affected housing units. A chiller replacement was reported to be scheduled for shipment on March 8, and staff expect concrete pad work and installation through March, weather permitting.
The board recorded the motion to set the bid opening; vote recorded 5 yes, 1 no on the motion when the item was put to a vote for the Board of Corrections business prior to the commissioners' meeting.
