Robeson County Seeks Design-Build Firm for Jail Health Facility Expansion

Robeson County has requested qualifications from firms to provide design-build services for the Robeson County Jail Health facility renovation. The project will add to the existing jail health services at 122 Legend Road, Lumberton, NC, as allowed by General Statute section 143-128.1A.

Currently, the Robeson County Jail Health offers medical services to inmates. The county aims to expand these services by adding 6,000-8,000 square feet to the facility within the jail's secure zone. This will ensure the jail remains operational during the renovations.

The project requires the chosen design-builder to collaborate with county staff to create a design that meets the Department's needs. The design-builder will also provide regular cost estimates to keep the project within budget. The new section will be built on the existing jail grounds, with its specific location decided during the design phase.

The goal is to complete construction efficiently, with a timeline established in the preconstruction phase. The design will focus on reducing long-term maintenance and operating costs while enhancing energy efficiency, supporting the county's sustainability and cost-effectiveness objectives.
