The Burke County Board of Commissioners voted to award the bid for Bridle Ground Road repairs to Augusta Land Management and authorized staff to “value engineer” portions of the work to align the project with what FEMA will allow.
County staff told commissioners the county received two bids and recommended Augusta Land Management as the qualified low bidder. Staff asked the board to authorize adjustments to the project scope so the county could bring the cost closer to FEMA reimbursement limits.
The board moved to award the contract to Augusta Land Management. Commissioner Lively made the motion; Commissioner Kelly seconded. The motion passed.
County staff said some items could be completed in-kind by county equipment and that staff would work with the contractor to reduce the final contract price. No dollar amount for the awarded contract was specified in the meeting record supplied to the board.
The award clears the way for staff to move forward with the repair and submit final project costs to FEMA for review and reimbursement.
