Summary
Warren County approved a $17,000 lump-sum contract with E and M Engineers to produce specifications for jail roof repairs and to support an upcoming RFP.
The Board of Commissioners approved a $17,000 engineering agreement with E and M Engineers to evaluate the county jail roof, produce specifications and support a request for proposals for repair work.
Commissioners said the jail roof has been leaking and that an engineering assessment was necessary to define the work before soliciting contractors. A motion to approve the engineering survey was moved and seconded, and commissioners approved the contract by voice vote.
During the meeting commissioners connected the roof project to broader infrastructure needs discussed elsewhere, and said the engineering report will shape the scope of the eventual construction contract and bidding documents. County staff said the survey work will inform future budget and procurement decisions for the jail roof repair.
