County updates sheriff’s building, command vehicle facilities and generator procurement; gas meter, bids and site work remain to be finalized
Summary
Property staff outlined progress on a new sheriff’s building and command vehicle facility, reported generator sizing and quotes (100 kW–115 kW estimates) and said Spire gas-meter placement and bid timing remain unresolved; commissioners asked staff to resolve meter/utility issues and finalize bids.
Property staff briefed commissioners on facilities work, including the sheriff's building, space for engineering equipment and a command vehicle building for the sheriff’s office, and generator procurement needs.
Roddy (property manager) said forms were being set for the sheriff's building and that concrete work and delivery of a pre-fab building were expected in coming weeks. On the generator, an initial sizing proposal was for 100 kW but subsequent study and Alabama Power data indicated about 115 kW could be required; staff discussed preliminary price estimates in the range of roughly $80,000 to slightly more depending on specifications and bid outcomes.
Commissioners also discussed needed gas-meter placement (Spire gas) and whether an attorney’s letter or direct contact with the utility could accelerate meter installation; staff indicated they would email contact information and pursue coordination. Commissioners asked for clear bid timing and site drawings to avoid repeated alleyway cuts and to ensure the project commences without undue delay.
