The Georgetown Town Council voted to approve a development agreement with the Onyx Group that designates Onyx as the developer and supervisory representative for a turnkey public‑works construction project.
The agreement authorizes the Onyx Group to oversee capacity planning and the construction process and to involve the town in selecting subcontractors for trades such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Town staff said the agreement has been reviewed by the town solicitor.
Council members asked when trade contracts would go out to bid; town staff responded that Onyx, as the supervisory representative, will run the bidding process and that the town may provide names of contractors it wishes to include on bid lists.
