Commissioners approve $665,482 HVAC replacement for Hopkins County jail administration
Summary
Hopkins County approved a $665,482 agreement to replace aging HVAC units in the jail administration after repeated failures; the county said temporary emergency units have been used and the new system will take about 4–6 weeks to build.
The Hopkins County Commissioners’ Court voted unanimously on Dec. 9 to approve an agreement to replace the HVAC system in the jail administration.
Commissioner Travis Thompson moved to approve the HVAC renovation agreement; Commissioner Joe Price seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The court heard that older HVAC units have caused periodic outages and that the county has spent about $210,000 over two years replacing failing circuit boards. The proposed replacement system and new refrigerant were quoted at $665,482, and the vendor estimated about 4–6 weeks to build the new unit.
Court records list the agreement and supporting documents as part of the official file; the court did not discuss alternate vendors or competitive bid results during the public meeting.
