Barry County moves forward with RFP for proposed law enforcement facility
Summary
After discussion, the Barry County Board reached consensus to issue a Request for Proposal for construction-manager firms with jail construction experience to work with the county’s consultant on a proposed law enforcement facility.
Chair David Jackson led a discussion on June 23 about the county’s proposed Law Enforcement Facility and the next procurement steps.
After hearing from commissioners and staff, the board reached a consensus to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking construction manager firms with specialized experience in jail construction to work alongside the county’s current consultant. No formal roll-call vote was recorded; the minutes note a board consensus to proceed with the RFP.
County officials indicated the RFP is intended to identify construction management partners with experience on correctional facilities and to coordinate with the county consultant during planning and pre‑construction phases. The board did not authorize funding, select a site at this meeting, nor adopt a construction contract; those items would be subject to later decisions and formal procurement steps.
