County seeks May bid for new correction services building
Architect Stewart Nelson told the Finney County Commission that drawings and documents should be finished by mid April and bids launched by May 1, with bids due in late May. The project, funded by a quarter-cent sales tax approved in 2014, covers a 24,000 square foot main floor and a sally port addition at the juvenile detention center near Santa Fe Street. Completion is targeted 12 to 14 months after construction begins, with occupancy possible by mid 2016.
