County to upgrade second-floor courthouse access; Homeland Security covers base cost
Summary
Custer County will upgrade the courthouse second-floor entry to a wireless proximity system; Homeland Security will reimburse an estimated $29,260, with the county covering a roughly $3,000 optional upgrade. Work is expected to begin near the end of November and take about two weeks.
Stephen McMillin updated the commission on Oct. 23 about courthouse access-control work: the first-floor wireless contact entry is complete and the planned second-floor upgrade will use wireless proximity entry technology. McMillin said the upgrade added roughly $3,000 in optional features, bringing the estimated $29,260 project cost to a final estimated total if the upgrade is chosen.
McMillin told the board the $29,260 base cost will be reimbursed 100% by Homeland Security and that the county would cover the optional $3,000 addition. He said the current keypads will remain but be disabled and that the new system can be controlled remotely if needed. The project is scheduled to begin near the end of November with an expected two-week timeline.
No formal motion was required at the meeting; commissioners discussed the funding arrangement and confirmed the county can supplement the added expense if necessary.
