Madison County Detention Center - HMC Jail

The previous general contractor, engineers, and architect were removed from the troubled Huntsville / Madison County Jail project. After months of sitting idle, the negotiated project was awarded by cost plus contract to Lee Builders, Inc. for remediation and completion.

The Scope: included remediation of the obvious structural problems that caused the project to be placed on hold, remediation of hidden deficiencies that were encountered in the process of bringing the Jail up to code, and accommodating changes in plans as they developed during the completion of the project.

Construction: includes caissons, grade beams, cast and precast concrete, structural steel, reinforced masonry, EIFS, light gauge metal framing, standing seam metal roof, electronic security systems, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire alarm, smoke removal system, fire protection, video visitation, and tie-in to existing secure prison facilities.

Winner: Associated Builders & Contractors 2008 Excellence in Construction Award in the $10-100 Million Renovation Category. LBI Subcontractor’s Stewart Electric (Electrical) and Early Services (Mechanical) won Awards of Merit for this project also.
