Board moves ahead with design & bidding for jail and sheriff’s facility
Summary
The board authorized continuing with an RFP process for design and construction of a new jail and sheriff’s office facility, directing proposals to include Phases 1–3. The action keeps the project on the county’s capital planning timeline while the Board explores funding options.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors voted on June 23 to continue with a request‑for‑proposals process for design and construction of a new jail and sheriff’s office facility, directing procurement to seek proposals covering Phases 1–3 of a multi‑phase plan.
The motion instructs staff to solicit RFP responses that provide conceptual design and phased construction approaches so the board can evaluate cost, scope and financing options. The vote was unanimous. The board also discussed potential capital financing and long‑range scheduling in subsequent study sessions. No final construction contract or final funding authorization was made; the RFP stage will return to the Board once responses are evaluated.
