Finster Segment May Air Nationally
TO LOW BIDDER
Prison Contract To Be Awarded
Work should begin within
the next month or so on a new
750-inmate state prison at
Pennville, according to the
Georgia Department of Correc
tions (D()C})).
John = Siler, ©ai. DOC
spokesman, said Tuesday that
tEe state had decided to pro
ceed with the project rather
than seeking new bids. All the
proposals opened on S%)t. 15
were far over the DOC's
estimates.
The contract will be award
ed to Carlson Southeast Corp.
of Massachusetts, Siler said.
Carlson submitted an apparent
low bid of $23,866,000. The
contract will actually be award
ed by the Georgia State Finan
cing and Investment Commis
sion on the recommendation of
the DOC, Siler said.
ALL HIGHER
The DOC had expected bids
for the project to be much
lower than the Carlson figure.
But all were higher. The
Georgia Generadl Assembly
authorized $23-million for the
project. David Evans, DOC
commissioner, mentioned an
expected figure of some
sl9-million during an August
address in Chattooga County.
The DOC plans to negotiate
with Carlson to ‘‘set aside”
some ‘‘cosmetic’’ alternates on
the project, Siler said. He em
phasized that there will be no
deletions in security measures
at the prison. The temporary
elimination of several items,
such as canopies over doors, is
expected to reduce Carlson's
base bid to under the
$23-million figure, Siler
indicated.
Additional funds will be
sought for the deleted items,
Siler said, but in the meantime,
work will begin on the massive
construction project.
PAPERWORK
A significant amount of
ga?erwork must be completed
efore construction actually
begins, Siler said, but he an
ticipated ‘‘some activity’' on
the 186-acre site within the
next month or so.
The DOC's decision ap
parently puts the project back
on schedule. If new bids had
been sought, it would have re
quired at least a month of
advertising and possibly
redesign of some plans.
Evans, Siler and other DOC
officials were surprised when
all nine bids came in over
estimated. They ranged from
the Carlson proposal to
$27,014,000 from a Jackson
ville, Fla., company.
The DOC hopes to complete
the prison by late 1989 or ear
ly 1990.
A number of Chattooga
Countians is expected to seek
jobs with Carlson when work
begins.
90 PERCENT
Evans said during his ad
dress in August to the
Summerville-'lgrion Rotary
Club that about 90 percent of
the completed prison’s 250 jobs
will go to area residents. The
payroll will be about $6-million
per year, Evans said. Around
500 applications are already on
file for the prison jobs.
Installation of gas, sewer
and water service of the
186-acre tract has been com
pleted. The utilities are being
;S)rovided by the City of
ummerville.
The prison complex will be
built on a 30- to 40-acre site
within the 186 acres. Entrance
to the property is on U, S,
Highway 27 just north of
Pennville Elementary School.
The facility will be located just
east of the Pennville residential
area, southeast of the school.
The complex of buildings
will contain some 327,000
square feet, the DOC said
earlier, including eight two
story units for 750 prisoners.
Inmates will be housed in 250
one-man cells and in 250 two
man cells.
CONCRETE
The prison will be con
structed of steel-reinforced con
crete and concrete block.
The 10,000 square foot ad
ministrative area will include
offices for the warden, assis
tant warden and other ad
ministrative and clerical
