The Marion County Board of Commissioners meets Wednesday to consider replacing access controls and doors at the county jail, and a supplemental budget for fiscal year 2021-22.
The commissioners will consider a nearly $5.88 million contract with Salem based Stanley Convergent Security Solutions, Inc to replace all access controls, cell doors and exterior doors at the Marion County Jail. The contract, which expires at the end of 2023, will also add a “pass through” in doors to allow for moving food trays in and out of the cell and deputies handcuffing without opening the doors, the agenda item said.
The board will consider approving a $250,000 contract with Nexterra, Inc. for yard debris grinding at the Brown’s Island Composting Facility. Commissioners will also consider approving a $450,000 contract with Lane Forest Products, Inc. to provide yard debris screening at the same facility. Both contracts would last through Dec. 31, 2024.
The board will also consider a $164,450 contract with PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. to develop and oversee safety compliance programs, operating procedures and training for various Marion County Public Works programs through the end of 2022.
Meeting details: The commissioners meet at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Senator Hearing Room at 555 Court Street N.E. The meeting is streamed live on YouTube.
