The committee planning a new Cuyahoga County jail has picked a contractor to design and build the $550 million facility.
The county received only one bid — from Cuyahoga County Justice Partners, a group that includes Rhode Island-based Gilbane, construction giant AECOM Hunt, and Cleveland-based Ozanne Construction.
The plans so far call for a 850,000 square foot facility with 1,904 beds total, with 600 set aside for people with medical and mental health needs.
The project’s planners hope to have a cost estimate from the builders in early March and the design completed by late April.
