From the meeting
Sheriff Trevor Wright told the commission that the jail could possibly be converted into a Juvenile Detention Center, but it would require significant investment. He said the project would need a secure outdoor recreation area, expanded recreation and program space, a gym, a private admissions area, and different staffing ratios. No decision was made, so this is an early planning signal tied to future capital and programming needs.
Any next step would likely be a scope and cost discussion.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
