County Commission approves Tetra Tech for disaster debris monitoring services

In a recent meeting of the Hardin County Commissioners Court, significant decisions were made regarding emergency disaster debris monitoring services and courthouse renovations, both of which have direct implications for the community.

The court approved Tetra Tech as the top choice for emergency disaster debris monitoring services, following a competitive bidding process that included three firms. This decision, made by an evaluation committee, aims to enhance the county's preparedness for future disasters, ensuring that debris management is handled efficiently and effectively. The approval of Tetra Tech is expected to bolster the county's response capabilities, ultimately benefiting residents during emergencies.

Additionally, the court addressed a change order related to ongoing renovations at the courthouse. The change order, which amounts to $3,795, involves replacing lead piping with PVC piping in the courthouse's parking lot. This decision is crucial for public safety, as it addresses potential health risks associated with lead exposure. The court's commitment to maintaining a safe environment for both employees and visitors reflects its dedication to community welfare.

These discussions highlight the county's proactive approach to managing both emergency preparedness and public health concerns. As the court continues to make decisions that impact daily life in Hardin County, residents can expect ongoing improvements in safety and infrastructure.
