Council approves $12,700/month contract for juvenile facility project manager
Summary
The joint bodies approved a consulting/project-management contract with Josh Nichols to convert the old county jail into a juvenile facility; the contract covers March–December at $12,700 per month and passed by voice vote.
Jefferson County officials confirmed they have the approvals needed to convert the old county jail into a juvenile facility and said the immediate task is to establish firm remodeling requirements. A staff speaker said they would bring in Josh Nichols — described in the meeting as the Evansville juvenile facility director — to conduct a room-by-room review to identify necessary state-code upgrades and produce accurate bids.
The council moved to approve a consulting/project-management contract for Nichols to lead the conversion at $12,700 per month from March through December; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. "I make a motion we accept or approve the contract for Josh Nichols to be the juvenile detention center consulting and project manager for cost of $12,700 per month," a member stated before the vote. Staff said the monthly contract is for pre-construction readiness and a separate contract would be brought later for operating the facility once it is ready.
