Court approves jail sewer bypass valve change order, pays Servpro invoice and honors retirement of explosive‑detection canine Mia
Summary
The Commissioners Court approved a change order to add a bypass valve to the jail sewer project, authorized payment of a Servpro invoice while staff files a claim for reimbursement, and acknowledged the retirement and award of explosive detection canine Mia to Investigator Kevin Bullard.
Midland County Commissioners Court addressed facilities and public‑safety support items April 7, approving a change order for jail sewer work, authorizing payment for emergency cleanup and recognizing a long‑serving explosive detection canine.
Jail bypass valve: Staff explained the bypass valve was not included in the original design and recommended a change order to allow external pumps to attach if the primary pump fails; the court approved the change order to Eduardo Madrid and Associates for installation of the bypass valve.
Servpro invoice: The court approved payment of a Servpro invoice for emergency cleanup following a sewage backup; staff will submit a claim to the city or insurer for possible reimbursement.
Canine retirement and award: The court acknowledged the retirement of explosive‑detection canine Mia, who had served since 2018 and deployed regionally. The court approved awarding Mia to Investigator Kevin Bullard for retirement custody.
Next steps: Project manager and facilities staff will proceed with the bypass valve installation and repairs, process the Servpro invoice and pursue reimbursement, and document the transfer of Mia to Investigator Bullard.
