Commission approves $1.29 million to replace 30 jail HVAC units
Summary
The Robertson County Commission approved a $1,287,832 capital-project budget amendment to replace 30 HVAC units on the county jail roof, using a TRANE proposal procured through the OMNIA cooperative; the measure was passed unanimously after the commission suspended rules for a second reading.
The Robertson County Commission on June 15 approved a $1,287,832 amendment to the General Capital Projects Fund to replace 30 HVAC units on the roof of the Robertson County Jail.
The Budget Committee presented a TRANE proposal procured through the OMNIA cooperative purchasing agreement and asked the commission to suspend the rules for a second reading so a purchase order could be issued before the end of the fiscal year. The commission voted to suspend the rules and then approved the amendment unanimously (19 yes, 0 no; 5 absent). Motion to proceed was made by Commissioner Couts and seconded by Commissioner Martin.
County documents filed with the clerk state the units are located on the jail roof and that the purchase will be handled through the cooperative purchasing contract; the resolution specifies the project will be reflected in Public Health & Welfare project accounts. The budget amendment reduces no other line items in the General Capital Projects Fund; instead it increases the project appropriation and adjusts fund balance accordingly.
The approval follows the county's year-end procurement timeline; commission minutes show the Budget Committee requested immediate issuance of a purchase order before June 30. No public comment or technical dispute over the procurement method was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The commission did not record any dissenting votes. The next administrative step is processing the purchase order and contract execution under the OMNIA cooperative agreement.
