Steuben County awards $327,000 jail fire-panel contract and OKs $67,000 transfer
Summary
At a Jan. 28 special joint meeting, Steuben County committees awarded a $327,000 contract to Matco Electric Corporation for a jail fire-panel project and authorized a $67,000 transfer from the county's restricted Public Safety reserve to help fund the work.
Jeffrey P. Horton, chair of the Steuben County Public Safety & Corrections Committee, called the special joint meeting to order at 9:50 a.m. and the committees quickly moved to action on a jail infrastructure project. The committees voted to award the bid for a fire-panel replacement at the Steuben County Jail to Matco Electric Corporation for $327,000. The motion, recorded in the minutes as "AWARDING THE BID FOR THE FIRE PANEL PROJECT AT THE JAIL TO MATCO ELECTRIC CORPORATION FOR A TOTAL PRICE OF $327,000.00," was made by Joe Tobia and seconded by Scott J. Van Etten and carried 5-0 in both the Public Safety & Corrections and Finance committees.
Members also authorized a related funding transfer to cover remaining costs. William Thew moved and Paul E. Van Caeseele seconded a motion "AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $67,000 FROM THE RESTRICTED PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS RESERVE FUND TO THE JAIL EQUIPMENT/FIRE PANEL PROJECT." The motion carried 5-0 in both committees. The actions leave the county proceeding with vendor selection and reserve reallocation to complete the fire-panel work.
The decisions appear in the official minutes of the special meeting; no alternate bids, objections, or conditions were recorded in the transcript. The committees did not record any separate discussion about project timeline or completion dates during the motion and vote.
