(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has accepted a proposal for the replacement of the HVAC system at the county jail.
The Commission on Wednesday accept a proposal from Energy Solutions Professionals, of Overland Park, to replace the 11 rooftop units with new units that come with dehumidifers built in at a cost of nearly $299,000 ( $298,858).
Although the current units are 11 years old, there has been major issues with excess humidity and air purification due to the type of units that were installed.
Funding for the new HVAC system will come from the remaining funds from the half-cent sales tax that funded construction of the new jail.
The project is expected to be completed in November.
