(KMZA)--A forum will be held Wednesday evening ( December 4) to discuss the proposed construction of a new Marshall County Jail.

The forum will take place at 7:00 at the Blue Rapids Community Center and the public is invited to attend.

On hand will be Sheriff Dan Hargrave, representatives from the project's architectural firm, TreanorHL, of Lawrence, and construction manager Loyd Builders, of Ottawa.

They will discuss the project, answer questions from the public and present drawings of the jail plans.

Loyd Builders put the project out for bid this summer and has presented a guaranteed price of $5.7 million, or $5.9 million with alternative add-ons. Soft costs for the project, which include architect and construction manager fees and furnishing the jail, are expected to be an additional $634,000.

The Marshall County Commission is considering options for financing the project.
