Louisa County to seek bids for jail roof and window repairs after inspection
Summary
Board members reported recent inspections of the county jail roof and interior; contractors resealed vents, identified potential gutter-side leaks and will submit bids including roof diverters and window replacement options for the board to consider.
During routine reports, a board member described a recent inspection of the county jail where crews resealed a vent and the member noted a possible leak near the gutter side of the roof. The member said they met with roofing contractors and plan to solicit bids for repairs, including installation of roof "crickets" (diverters) and replacement of windows on the jail wings to improve heat conservation.
The board discussed the need to prioritize repairs that conserve heat and address water infiltration; staff were directed to gather quotes and present options to the board for approval. The member said work done so far included resealing a vent and that contractors would provide estimates for both roofing repairs and window replacement.
No formal procurement award was made during the meeting; the board instructed staff to prepare bid documents and return with cost estimates and recommended next steps. The discussion also referenced related facility maintenance items such as compressor and AC functioning and prior resealing work.
