Commissioners forward detention-facility engagement letters to county council after committee recommendation
Summary
A detention-facility committee recommended proceeding with Phase 1 to determine costs for a new Orange County jail; commissioners agreed to forward engagement letters and requests (including an initial $215,000 architectural request and a $50,000 planning/management item) to the county council for consideration.
The county's detention-facility committee reported it had met with Garmon Engineering and Studio View and recommended proceeding with Phase 1, a preliminary study to determine actual costs for a proposed new detention facility.
Committee members and staff told commissioners the study would produce cost estimates and a roadmap for a modern detention facility. The committee discussed an architectural engagement request of $215,000 and an additional $50,000 planning or construction-management item from Garmon; commissioners voted to forward the engagement letters and funding requests to the county council for further consideration.
Chair (speaker 3) said the committee's work will yield more definitive cost estimates and next steps. Commissioners did not approve construction funding at the meeting; they approved moving engagement letters to the county council for review.
