County jail project on schedule and under budget, officials say
Summary
Project staff told commissioners the new county jail remains on schedule and under budget, with soft-cost items (uniforms, bedding, kitchen supplies) and some long-lead equipment still being coordinated; staff expect turnover and training to begin around September.
County staff provided a construction update stating the new jail project is on schedule and remains under budget.
The project manager said weekly meetings are addressing soft-cost items needed for operations—uniforms, beds, kitchen items—and that IT systems and monitoring hardware are arriving and being staged. Paving and the turn lane were reported nearly complete and the manager said the county expects to be ready to begin training and move-in procedures "around September," though some long-lead items for cells remain in manufacturing and the delivery schedule is pending.
Staff emphasized staging work to avoid disrupting jail operations when parts of the project remain unfinished, and said they are coordinating with dispatch and fire alarm vendors to integrate systems before turnover.
