The
Franklin County Commission are working to purchase a new
air-conditioning system for the cafeteria at the Franklin County Jail
on Highway 65.
The
HVAC system was one of the original units installed when the county
jail was built over 20 years ago.
It
is located on the roof of the jail, and whichever company replaces it
will have to get a crane to remove the existing system and lift the
new system into place.
The
work will cost over 10 thousand dollars, and under county rules that
requires that the project go out for bid.
The
problem is the work needs to be done quickly because the summer heat
is making it very hot inside the jail, and the county commission does
not want to wait two weeks before their next meeting to select a
bidder.
The
board this week agreed to give commission chairman Smokey Parrish and
County Coordinator Michael Moron the authority to choose the best bid
without board approval and get the job started as soon as possible.
