Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--A new HVAC system will be installed at the Brown County Jail.
The Brown County Commission last week accepted a bid from Martin Mechanical in the amount of $147,178 for replacement of the 11 rooftop units with new units.
Bids were opened at the Commission's November 16 meeting from two companies.
The Commission had accepted a proposal from Energy Solutions Professionals in October for replacement of the HVAC system, but County Attorney Kevin Hill advised Commissioners they would need to seek bids.
Although the current units are 11 years old, there have 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.
