Board approves $41,103 jail plumbing repairs; vendor says lock upgrades are in testing
Summary
Commissioners approved a $41,103 contract to replace six deteriorated shower P-traps at the county jail and received an update that 36 upgraded locks are in final staging/testing, with staff awaiting a vendor timeline.
Meriwether County staff reported a video inspection of approximately 150 feet of the main sewer line at the county jail that identified six deteriorated shower P-traps encased in concrete requiring replacement. Max Air Plumbing quoted a total project cost of $41,103, to be paid from SPLOST funds, and staff recommended approval to allow the chair to sign the contract (SEG 704–722, SEG 720–723).
Commissioners discussed cash-on-hand, committed balances, and a $1,000,000 general‑fund buffer; staff explained the negative appearance in some ledgers reflects committed but not yet expended funds. The board approved the jail plumbing contract. Separately, staff updated the board on lock upgrades: the vendor reported that “36 locks are in the final staging, testing” and that series upgrades (1,200 and 400 series) are being phased; staff said it is awaiting a timeline from the vendor and will coordinate with legal if necessary (SEG 796–806, SEG 830–836).
