MAINTENANCE/JAIL 09-17-14
The Board considered approval to replace and upgrade the temperature control system for the Douglas County Correctional Facility (DCCF). David Sparkes, Director of Maintenance, explained a portion of the original system at the jail can be utilized with the new system if we remain with the same vendor, which will result in about a $60,000 savings. Sparkes said it is necessary to make upgrades before we have system failures.
