This is the site that stirred the most controversy hen information was received tfiat the site was being looked at by the consultants. lain criterion tor land are the fdllowing, according to Boyle: adequate ground (eight to 5 acres, depending if state builds their facility and the size of the county jail); road access; centralized in cdunty; close to courts; and available utilities. Though no utilities are available on the west side yet, this disadvantage is made up two ways. Uiere is a sparser population in tljat area, Boyle said, and there is adequate ground.

Nothing Review Staff , Are retail bulk foods a great leap backward as far as consumer safety is concerned? there, he said. If a combined facility between county and state were built, a $1.5 million savings in construction alone would be a result, Boyle said. Approximately $5 million more could be saved in peristaffing costs over a od, he told committee members. The county jail would have to be 89,000 square feet for 200 beds, and 143,000 square feet for 364 beds. But between three to six feet are needed for every foot of building space, he said. The possibility of expanding the existing jail to the second floor is not feasible, according to the architect. It would be tremendously far short of what will be needed. Total construction cost for a 200 bed jail is estimated at $12.6 million. With a 320 bed jail, 60 percent double bunking capacity, the total estimated construction cost, including land acquisition, is alxut $12.7 million. Davis County health officials believe so.
