Shanda Crystal, the county’s chief procurement officer, updated commissioners on multiple procurement projects and procurement-related actions, and the board approved several quitclaim deeds from a recent tax-deed sale and the consent agenda.
Crystal said the YVC event center office punch list is being addressed, sidewalks and curb work were in progress and asphalt paving was scheduled. “Everything’s moving along just according to plan,” she said. Crystal also said the procurement team expects to publish a solicitation for a storage building at the Road and Bridge facility and anticipated the event center master-planning services solicitation to go live the following week.
On planning and development, Crystal said an RFQ for plat review is live with questions due the following Friday. She reported the roof-replacement contract for an identified building was awarded and sent for signature and said a new internal step routes contractor insurance to risk management for review before contracts return to the board.
On the landfill scale-house project, Crystal said the county rejected all bids and reissued the solicitation on the open market. She said the county had reached out to 14 firms (pre-bid attendees and prior bidders, plus additional contractors) and expects quotes back by Oct. 15.
The board then considered a series of quitclaim deeds resulting from a recent tax-deed sale. County staff read parcel numbers into the record and the board voted to sign quitclaim deeds for the listed parcels. “I would make motion that we sign all the parcels that have been stated, signing the quit claim deeds,” a commissioner said; the motion passed by voice vote.
The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote and then briefly adjourned.
Why it matters: the procurement items affect county facilities and planned services, and the quitclaim deeds complete disposition of tax-deeded parcels.
What’s next: procurement will receive bids for the landfill scale-house by the stated deadline and will return contracts to the board after risk-management review.
