Officials in Oklahoma County are now accepting bids for a location of a new jail.

Proposals should total between 40 and 80 acres and cannot be less than 1,000 feet of any public or private elementary school or secondary school.

“I want the public to be aware that the process has started, and we are looking forward to having conversations with landowners,” Commissioner Brian Maughan said. “We want to hear from property owners interested in selling their land. We are aware certain sites may involve the necessity to purchase several parcels from multiple landowners, and we are willing to have those conversations.” 

The Oklahoma County Commissioners are working with the Citizen Bond Oversight Board to build a new jail as well as including a mental health facility.

All proposals must be submitted by 9 a.m. on March 6.
