Commissioners approve 60-day notice to Ecolab over jail dishwasher contract breach; paint recall to be remedied by manufacturer
Summary
County staff reported a breach of the jail dishwasher service agreement and the Board approved sending a 60-day notice of termination to Ecolab; commissioners also heard that Sherwin Williams will cover the cost to repaint jail showers after a product recall.
County building and maintenance staff reported persistent issues with the vendor responsible for servicing the jail dishwasher and sanitizer, asserting the vendor had not performed maintenance according to the service agreement. James Richardson recommended terminating the contract for breach and the Board approved sending a 60-day notice of breach and intent to terminate to Ecolab by motion (Commissioner Young moved; Commissioner Clark seconded; roll call vote all aye).
Richardson also said paint recently applied in the jail showers had been recalled for a product defect and Sherwin Williams agreed to cover replacement materials and repaint the showers at no cost to the county. The Board’s action on the dishwasher contract was a formal step toward vendor termination; repairs and repainting will proceed under the vendor/manufacturer remedies described by staff.
